Ep 91 - Jonathan Hillis - The Creator Economy


Listen Later

Jonathan is the founder of Creator Cabins and a partner at capital.community - which provides early-stage funding and resources for creators to help them succeed. His mission is to increase the GDP of the creator economy. He is a former director of product at Instacart, but after working there for over 5 years, he decided to leave and focus on growing the Creator Cabin community in Texas - full-time. 

Jonathan and I discussed:

  • What his new venture Creator Cabins is all about
  • His thoughts on the emerging audio phenomenon, Clubhouse
  • What the 6 levels of the creator economy are?
  • Could we see more independent creator communities in the future?
  • His time at Instacart
  • Why Austin and Miami are so popular right now
  • Why his time in Thailand was life-changing
  • And much, much more...

    My Take: We are seeing a surge of tools to help creators become more independent. Perhaps in the future, we will all be freelancers working on our time, where we want, and how we want - without the constraints of an actual office or regular hours. The future is unknown, but one thing is for sure, - we are moving away from traditional media, and in an age where everyone can leverage their best assets and traits, the future is looking bright for independent creators.
