Big news: I'm launching a Creator Accelerator with , which marks the biggest creator partnership in their company's 11 year history. During my 8 years at YouTube and Instagram, I worked with many creators and brands.
That’s why shortly after leaving, I was able to: gain 650K followers, 430M views, and work with 40+ sponsors.
Did I have an unfair advantage? Of course. But that’s why I’m doing this.
I'll take you under my wing and share the tools, tips, and templates to build a real business as a creator.
No more guessing. No more gurus. Just growth.
See link in bio to join waitlist and I'll be in touch.
Massive thanks to Thinkific CEO Greg Smith and Peter, Desiree, Cameron, Christie, and many more from the team who made this happen. Let's do this 🚀

Excited to launch a new kind of newsletter, what I hope will be “The New Yorker for creators.” For years, I made weekly cartoons and got hired by companies like Zappos to draw murals. Then I stopped. A lot of you asked why. Or when I'd do it again. Today's the day 😊
I've been working with some of the funniest and top illustrators from The New Yorker, The Economist and more to find our own style.
I think we got something special. It combines insights with illustrations. Learning with a little laughter.
I'll share more this week but for now see link in bio to sign up so you don't miss our first issue 🔥

I gotta celebrate my wife for one more sec - she recently made Business Insider's rising stars list of creator managers. All while dealing with the rollercoaster of pregnancy. Most people don't know how much she does behind-the-scenes. For nearly a decade, she led operations for Fortune 500 companies and left it behind to grow our creator business using those same skills. She always thinks critically. Never gets distracted by shiny objects. Points out things in contracts 99% people miss. Keeps our costs on track while supporting our big swings. Friends ask what it's like to work with my wife. Others warned we'd get sick of each other. But the opposite has been true. I feel lucky that our skills are so different yet our values are the same. That we get to share our wins together and with the amazing team we get to work with every day. We're just getting started 🚀

Surreal moment. I got to interview Terry Crews 🤯 link in bio. We talked about a lot, including:
— How playing in NFL helped Terry build portfolio in art (yes, art)
— Breaking rules of YouTube with his Old Spice ads

— Working on a short film with Zach King who I also interviewed and I’m excited to share our video soon
This one took a village. Thank you and for making this possible, for filming, , Celeste Lagos, .io for editing, for research and production, and countless others who gave feedback throughout.

We’re going to be parents ❤️ I’m never been more amazed by Amanda than how she’s handled this pregnancy. The nausea. The hospital visits. And even trips to the emergency room. Maybe this is TMI but nobody prepares you for how hard it is - or at least how hard it’s been for us. I know one thing for sure, our baby girl will have an incredible role model in her mom. A dad who will be there for her and crack dad jokes way too often. Oh, and a dog who will have to get used to being second fiddle 😅 I want to especially thank our parents who have been there for us and everyone who supported and gave advice along the way. Parenthood here we come!!

Now vs Then 😊 10 years ago, I met and she published my 1st article ever for The Huffington Post. This weekend, I got to interview her on stage at 's event.
That moment changed alot - it led me to write more, interview more, and now I'm lucky enough to make content as a career.
Thanks Arianna for giving me my start and believing in me.
Never imagined the next time we’d see each other would be on stage at a football stadium in front of thousands 🤯

1M views in 4 days 🙏 what most people don’t see though is the 2 days of filming, 3 months of editing, 24 drafts, and countless people on the team who worked on this. The best part? This was just Part 1. Our full sit-down interview drops soon.
Grateful to everyone who watched and of course who was so open to sharing his story ❤️

Thank you for all you did as YouTube CEO 🙏 I’ll never forget visiting my sister in high school and seeing your poster on their bulletin board
I was so proud to say: “that’s my CEO. I work for her.”
Susan did so much but one thing that stands out is how she responded after we had the horrible shooting in YouTube’s offices. She was thoughtful. Calm. Decisive yet inclusive.
I saw her take a similar approach to meetings and events and it’s no wonder YouTube has grown on so many different fronts — creators, advertisers, gaming, kids, TV, Shorts, etc — since she took over in 2014.
Thank you Susan for being an example to my sister, myself and countless others

Honored to be selected for LinkedIn's first ever Creator Accelerator Program. They picked 100 creators and it's surreal to see years of posting on LinkedIn come full circle.
People would ask why I’d post nearly every day there. “It's just for job hunting. It’s just a resume,” they said. LOL. It’s so much more.
Personally, I’ve found it to be one of the fastest growing and most positive communities around.
I think this program is the start of more creators realizing that you can’t sleep on LinkedIn.
Shoutout to and the team for putting this together. To my fellow creators in the the program…let’s go get em!! 💪
