First… thank you to all those who were part of our Million Dollar Creator Webinar yesterday! Seeing so many of you take your brand seriously is SO powerful 💪 If you missed it (or want to revisit a section), the replay is in the 'Classroom' tab titled: “2/18 Million Dollar Creator Webinar” But here’s the real question… What are you actually going to do with what you learned? We talked about how: Your audience is the asset. Trust is the currency. And your personal brand is what turns content into opportunity. Now it’s execution time. Open your workbook and finish your voice guidelines. When you’re done: 👉 Upload a screenshot in this thread 👉 Share your biggest takeaway from the webinar 👉 And reply to at least ONE other creator with encouragement or feedback This community only works if we build it together! You’re not just building a brand… you’re building it alongside other creators who are at the same stage as you. Let’s use this space. Let’s give feedback. Let’s hold each other accountable. Drop your updates below! I’m excited to see what each of you build 🚀

BIG NEWS!!!

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/02/apple-introduces-a-new-video-podcast-experience-on-apple-podcasts/ At glance, I was excited. But, I now have mixed feelings about Apple Video since it won't be supported by Megaphone. Most big podcasters and networks use Spotify's Megaphone Hosting platform, including myself and YAP Media. It seems awesome they are going to be able to execute Dynamic Ad Insertion for video, just seems unfair that only certain creators will get access to it. May make me evaluate other hosting providers for the first time in a long time... smart move by Apple. "Acast; ART19, an Amazon company; Triton’s Omny Studio; and SiriusXM, inclusive of SiriusXM Media, AdsWizz, and Simplecast, are supporting HLS video at launch." In other video podcast news, Spotify video rolled out last year; and this year youtube is releasing Dynamic Ad Insertion for video which will unlock full catalog monetization capabilities for creators and advertisers. Basically with DAI on youtube, you'll be able to monetize both old and new episodes on with new advertisers ongoingly and dynamic insert/replace commercials across your catalog just like you can on audio.

First — I’m really grateful for this group. Seeing over 100 creators in here already tells me we’re onto something valuable. I want to be very intentional about what we build next. There are a few different ways I can deliver value here — and instead of guessing, I want to hear directly from you. So I’d love your honest take: • When it comes to learning, do you personally prefer in-depth, structured courses or shorter standalone live sessions — and why? • What kind of learning format realistically fits into your life right now? • When it comes to learning how to grow and monetize your creator-led business, what level of investment feels reasonable to you? • If you had to choose, would you prefer: – a monthly membership with live, topical webinars throughout the month (with replays), or – a structured masterclass that takes you through everything A–Z? Over the next couple weeks, I’ll be sharing more live value in here and testing a few formats. Your feedback will directly shape what this turns into. Appreciate you being early and helping me build this the right way 🤍
