Below, I share content I consumed and learned from last week. I spent time doing general learning about a variety of topics.

What I consumed last week and what I learned from it:

• Building a $90M YouTube channel – YouTube interview with Ashkan Karbasfrooshan, entrepreneur and founder of WatchMojo, which has a popular YouTube channel. This is a great interview that highlights how YouTube and other platforms are empowering niche media entrepreneurs to create fortunes. His logic around how he decided to bet on YouTube when he started his company was interesting. He thought like a social scientist and challenged himself to figure out what the next MTV would look like. His epiphany was that geek culture was going to take over pop culture, and he leaned into that belief as a content strategy.

That’s what I learned from what I consumed last week.
