Headed to my second conference of the year already 😅

Off to Vegas for Creator Economy Live West, where I’ll be emceeing for the second year in a row!

Feels like every conference decided to happen within the same two-week window, which begs the question: are there any left for the rest of the year?

Also - Siftsy 💬 will have a booth!

We’ve got some genuinely solid hats to hand out. You won’t be able to miss us.

If you’ll be there, excited to connect and catch up on all things comments, communities and creators - come say hey.

See you in Vegas ✌️

(ps - i have a few free tickets to hand out. shoot me a DM if you're available to attend this week!)

The January event train continues. This time, on home turf. 🗽

Year four of Creator Economy NYC has officially kicked off.

Which I still can’t quite believe I’m typing.

After hosting hundreds of events over the years, one thing that continues to inspire me is seeing how other people bring ideas, conversations, and learning into a room. 

One format I’ve always loved is Lectures on Tap by Felecia Freely - a series where professors step into bars and teach a topic over beers instead of in a classroom.

Typically, our events include a panel or fireside chat. Which are always awesome.

But to kick off year 4, I said f*ck it, let's try something new.

Three mini-talks. Three creators. Three areas they’re deeply passionate about.

Featuring: 

👉 Me: diving into F*ck It, Create It: the mindset of actually starting the thing you keep talking yourself out 

👉 AJ Eckstein 🧩 - on documenting your work and building in public to create momentum and trust

👉 Gabrielle Judge - on turning content creation into a thriving, sustainable business (beyond virality)

This one’s made possible by our amazing partners: Teachable, Adobe Express, The Wishly Group and Siftsy.

Top creators, marketers, and founders, all in the same room.

📍 Jan 28
🕡 6:30pm
📍 NYC

NYC is the capital of the creator economy, and I’m beyond stoked to keep this train moving, and make this year bigger than ever.

If you can create it here, you can create it anywhere.

TikTok lost all of its cultural rizz.  

And here’s the reason why: 

TikTok Shop.

Scroll your feed and you’ll see it:

Entertainment got replaced by product links.

Creators and brands are incentivized towards selling, not creativity.

TikTok stopped competing for culture… and started competing with Amazon.

And now Instagram is becoming the cultural powerhouse.

TikTok is a commerce engine with a side of content.

Great for sales. Terrible for culture.

And that’s the real shift nobody wants to say out loud.
