Devil's Advocate Round 1 with Lucas Parry & Michael Powers

Today on Creator Principles we have Lucas Parry, founder of Glow, and Michael Powers, founder of Twisty.ai. Both are thought leaders in emerging media with lots of great experiences and stories to share.   On the podcast we discuss this report by Chamath Palihapitiya at Social Capital [https://chamath.substack.com/p/deep-dive-creator-economy-the-next] and specifically two key questions: * The report suggest companies like Google and Facebook are somehow doing badly, which is clearly untrue. What gives? * Why won't the $60bn of ad spend on TV (which no one is watching anymore) simply go to Netflix or Amazon Prime rather than to influencers? Enjoy the show!

Admiration to Trust with C.R. Celona

Today we have an awesome podcast with C.R. Celona, known by those who love him as Celona. Or by those who respect his Italian heritage as “Chelona” with lots of big hand gestures.   Celona is one of the founders of the influencer space through his work as an early hire at Vimeo and his help founding companies like Speakr/twtmob, and Cluster social impact. He’s spent the last 25 years at the intersection of creators, brands, and social media, and is considered by pretty much everyone to be an OG in the business of the creator economy. On the podcast we talk about what the creator economy was like in the beginning during web 1 and how its evolved into what it is today and how ownership, or web3, is changing not only creator communities but the very nature and mechanics of our relationships in the digital world and the physical world.   Don’t forget to go over to arcatar.com [https://www.arcatar.com]to sign up for Early Access, which is happening as we speak, and to follow ARCatar at arcatarcreators on X twitter to keep up with all the awesome stuff we are doing.
