Zack James on the Saturated Creator Market & What's Next 

Zack James is the founder, CEO, and lead developer of StarScript, a Los Angeles-based self-publishing platform and creation network for independent creators. StarScript combines technology from Netflix-style streaming, LinkedIn-style professional and fan networking, social media, and IMDB-style ratings into a single ecosystem where creators collaborate with teams, publish their work, market to their audience, and engage with fans — all from one profile, while keeping 95% of every membership.

The platform launched in Spring 2023. Its core Productions feature, released in Spring 2026, allows creators to self-publish across seven formats: books, comics, music, podcasts, film, television, and art — without going through a traditional publisher, label, or studio.

Zack co-founded StarScript with his brother Matthew, the company's Creative Director, drawing on a lifelong shared passion for language, imagination, and worldbuilding. They built the platform to address what they saw as the central economic challenge of the entertainment industry: that the people creating the work bear most of the risk while capturing the smallest share of the value. The platform has grown to 2,800+ creators with roughly 125 new creators joining each month.

Zack is available for interviews on independent creator economics, the future of self-publishing, AI's impact on creative work, and the unbundling of the traditional publisher/label/studio model.

The Hollywood Chronicles of a Female Tech Founder|Nadira Azermai

She built an AI that could predict a film's box office from the script alone. Hollywood buried it.

This is not a startup success story.

Over seven years, Nadira built ScriptBook, a patented AI that read screenplays and forecast their box office with accuracy that doubled Hollywood's own, a decade before ChatGPT. The industry didn't want it. 

The Hollywood Chronicles of a Female Tech Founder is her unfiltered account of what happened when a woman brought hard data into a business run on instinct, vanity and myth.

Shuttling between venture capital boardrooms and studio backlots, Nadira pulls back the curtain on two parallel worlds built on the same rules: backstabbing disguised as networking, exclusion justified as instinct, and a hierarchy that rewards loyalty over truth. Hollywood doesn't fear technology. It fears exposure.

Moving forward when life doesn’t go to plan|Fleur Bryant

From losing my son to swimming 33.3km using only my arms — what is possible when life doesn’t go to plan? 

Fleur Bryant is the Amazon #1 bestselling author of Never the Plan, founder of The Make Way Foundation, and a para endurance athlete.

Fleur has faced life not going to plan in more ways than most. She struggled physically from the age of five, spent decades with the wrong diagnosis and is now a full-time wheelchair user. But the biggest change came when her middle child, Toby, was diagnosed with a terminal brain disease at seven years old. He died 18 months later, aged nine.

Since then, Fleur has built The Make Way Foundation, helping disabled children access the equipment and opportunities they need to achieve their potential, written her memoir Never the Plan, and most recently completed a 33.3km open-water swimming challenge using only her arms.

Today, Fleur is fascinated by one question: when life looks nothing like the plan you started with, what is still possible?

Why We Defend Morally Complicated Women with Hema Gupta 

Hema Gupta is a medical student and novelist fascinated by the women we judge, defend, and can’t stop thinking about. She is the author of The Things We Never Said Out Loud, the first book of a series that explores obsession, relationships, morality, and the strange loyalty readers can develop toward deeply flawed characters. When she isn’t studying medicine, Hema is writing, researching, and talking about storytelling, female ambition, complicated protagonists, and why the characters who make us the most uncomfortable are often the ones we remember.

When Success Is No Longer Enough|Junna Liao PCC ELI-MP

Founder and CEO of MMDC Alchemy and creator of Miracle Alchemy™.

Today’s guest is Junna Liao, PCC, ELI-MP, founder and CEO of MMDC Alchemy and creator of Miracle Alchemy™.

Before becoming a transformational career and life coach, Junna built a highly successful career in financial planning, where she was named Financial Planner of the Year three times at a Fortune 100 company.

But her biggest transformation began when success itself stopped feeling like enough.

After navigating a profound health crisis and a major reinvention of her own life, Junna chose to dedicate her work to helping leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and experienced professionals create careers and lives that feel as successful on the inside as they look on the outside.
