In this episode, I had Ryan Hashemi, known for building the successful media company Jubilee that has 10 million subscribers and 5 billion views on YouTube. We discussed the concept of creator-operators and the importance of long-form content. Ryan shares his insights on creating compelling thumbnails and titles, as well as the need for a strong storytelling approach. We also touch on the trend of creators building businesses outside of content creation.
