In this session of Rising Tides Live, hosted by Shawn Walchef, the conversation centered on distribution, what it is, why it matters, and how operators and creators can use it to grow. The group defined distribution as the art and system of getting what you make seen, shared, and monetized across owned, earned, paid, and partner channels. Examples ranged from marketplace integrations that drive steady signups, to GIF search as a global discovery engine, to corporate dining networks that route real demand. Tactics included clarifying your narrative, tagging collaborators, prepping guests to cross post, and creating content people want to share. The consensus was simple, if people do not know who you are and how you help, they cannot tell someone else. Master the message, meet partners where they are, and build repeatable pathways so your work travels farther with less friction.
