At the intersection of our creative work and our ability to use technology to scale, is a thriving creator economy.

Right now, as creative entrepreneurs, we’re in the middle of that intersection. Roberto Blake says, “It’s a great time to be a creator, monetize, and develop and scale our personal brands.”

But, we know it’s not always so clear. It’s also a confusing time. We hear a lot of advice coming from all directions.

Roberto Blake is a creative entrepreneur and founder of the Awesome Creator Academy. It’s no wonder he has a way of talking about this topic with laser precision. He’s a leading educator helping influencers and entrepreneurs build their brands. Roberto is the CEO of Create Awesome Media and he grew his Youtube channel from the ground up. He has over 500k subscribers and has posted over 1500 videos. He educates and inspires creators and entrepreneurs through his content, keynote speaking and his best-selling book, “Create Something Awesome: How Creators Are Profiting Their Passion in the Creator Economy”.
