What will the HeyCreator show look like?

Can I ask you guys some questions?

Yeah, go for it.

What's your vision? What's your plan with this? Are you going to continue to do interviews? Are you going to bring in other high-level creators? Are you going to keep it about digital products? You're going to do SaaS products? Is it all of the above? Like, what do you guys think of when you dream of the Hey Creator podcast?

Yeah, it's a great question and I won't overtalk Forken too much, but we are going to, we are going to keep doing interviews. The core of the show will be conversations between Forken and I. I think something that we've both really been inspired by are some of our like favorite podcasters and even like growing up listening to like radio in some senses of like a more segmented approach to a show. So doing things like it If you want to take like some really simple ways of thinking about like what are top 10, top 10 lists, what are our favorite tools, what are like news and analysis of things that are happening. Like one of the things we're going to record next week is talking about how James Clear and Tim Ferriss both started a publishing— both kicked off a publishing startup this, this past week. Like I think it's called Author's Equity. And so like, hey, what, what's happening in the creator economy that's worth talking about, that's worth following, that's worth commenting on. And then we are still going to have, we are still going to have a lot of high-level creators as guests. Like, something that we're focused on is making those guest conversations— I mean, everyone says they want them to be unique. Like, if you have, uh, like a popular person on, doing the research and also making like the questions we want them to be like very focused. Somebody that's inspiring to me in this is, uh, Jay Klaus and his Creator Science podcast. But I love how Jay— he— I don't know if he does it as much anymore, but like for his first 100 episodes, he would have, um, like a very specific focus. So like when I went on his show, uh, I talked about perseverance, and like the whole theme of the show was like my story framed around the element of perseverance because it was, you know, creator, creator science. And so I really like the concept of coming in and bringing, bringing guests who can focus on one particular element or characteristic of their story and diving deep on that. And then we'll bring them into our world as well, ask about like, hey, you know, what's your— and So we're going to ask you this question in a few minutes of like, hey, who's your, who's your Mount Rushmore of creators? Like, who inspired you along the path? Like bringing them in. And I'll let, I'll let Forkin talk about this a little bit. But these like recurring segments or shows that, you know, you can come in and I think about like, hey, is there something on the show that a listener can love even if they don't immediately connect with the guest. Because even our most favorite podcast, you're like, oh, you know, this guest isn't doing it for me. Or maybe it's about a thing in business that I like. I'm interested in like DTC e-com stuff, but if, you know, someone comes on a show, it's like, hey, we're going to talk about like dropshipping, like, ah, you know, maybe I'll give this one a skip. But the shows that I like the most, I'll be like, well, I'm not going to listen to this interview, but there's still section at the beginning or at the end that I know, I know I can't, I know I can't miss. And so those are, those are the sort of things that we want to bring into the show. Now I've gone right ahead and talked right over Forkin with everything, but I don't know what else you want to add, buddy.

My main thing is I know that I listen to podcasts where the people talking are speaking the same language as me, whether it's sports or business or content or music or movies or whatever, whatever show you're listening to, you want to feel like the the people on the other side of the, what, of your headphones are speaking the same language as you, someone you feel like you could hang out with, someone who knows what you're going through, someone who can either help you, entertain you, walk you through things. And if we're in the world of building people's creator businesses, like as our day jobs, then this show should be an extension of that. You should, you should listen to us and come to us because we do this every day and we we are doing the same thing as you with our own creator businesses, and we love this stuff, and we love talking about it, and we love finding the fun ways to talk about it. Matt tasked me with writing like the, the show bio, and it starts with, hey, Creator is the show, uh, for your creator business. Like everything that goes into it, the, the ups, the downs, the mindset, the wherever you are on the creator journey, making this fun, accessible, and helpful, for whoever they are as they build their creator business. That's how I see the show. Um, the segments and interviews and everything will only include things that help us tell that story and push people on their journey to build a creator business that makes them happy, that makes them money. And overall, like, my big thing is simple and fun too, is I want to talk about these things in a way, uh, where you have a good time. It's simple. You very clearly understand what you're getting out of listening to Matt and I and the summit speakers we pull in, the guests we get, the segments we try, full knowing that it's going to be a long road to get this show where we want it to go. I just want it to be simple, fun, and helpful the entire time.

Nice.

Well, I'm pumped. You guys are going to crush it.
