Mosh and Jill are off on some well-earned vacations, but the Mo News Team has you covered. Today, we bring you Mosh’s conversation with Sammi Cohen (@sammicohentalks). She’s the creator of Social Currency, a newsletter and podcast that explores how the internet is reshaping our lives and our spending habits. 

In this conversation, you'll get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the creator economy, how brands are thinking about creators, and the future of content on social media platforms. Sammi and Mosh discuss their overlapping journeys—transitioning from large legacy companies (Mosh at CBS, Sammi at Amazon) into independent brands built on social media. We also get Sammi’s take on recent business headlines like Hailey Bieber's billion-dollar makeup brand deal and the financial troubles at Saks Fifth Avenue.

The daily podcast will be back tomorrow! In the meantime, you can follow Mosh’s travels to Japan on the Mo News Premium Instagram page.
