Distribution is the new currency 

In this episode, I sit down with Dave Behar, the visionary CEO and Founder of ICON, established in 2000. Dave has spent decades building and scaling ION – the Network of Champions – a powerful localized, interactive, multi-platform digital broadcast network. With a footprint that spans 25,000+ local channels, affiliates, and social platforms, ION connects audiences with content through sports, health, family, entertainment, nutrition, business, and more. Its mission is to empower creators, brands, organizations, athletes, and teams with distribution channels that guarantee reach, engagement, and ROI.

During our conversation, Dave breaks down the evolving world of distribution and why it is the single most important piece for content creators today.
