Sometimes you see a product that you think might just have a chance in this weird comics ecosystem to make a positive dent in creator sales numbers and I think I've just found one. There's a new kid in town in the digital comics reader space, Sweet Shop.

Kenny Meyers is the mastermind behind Sweet Shop; a digital reader platform with a slick interface; Bindings, a simplified comic creator portal designed to make connection and direct sales simpler; and Find Your Comic Store where you can use an online map to do exactly as the name suggests. All great new products with fantastic UIs that make reading digital books a more enjoyable experience and to help you, and creators, connect in sleek ways never seen before. Kenny calls Bindings a fancy LinkTree, but he's being humble. He joins me today as a first time guest on the show to talk about it all including the exciting topic of metadata...ok, maybe not exciting but important. Seriously, you are adding in metadata, right?
