The entertainment industry is changing...

10 years ago, it felt like no Creator was taken seriously by the world of Traditional Entertainment. Today, we have Creators who are Emmy winners, Grammy nominated, producing full blown TV Shows, and just about every Red Carpet you can think of down to the MET Gala has some Creator hosting it and doing interviews.

So what changed? Why is the industry finally opening up? And how will this boom of Creator led Media change Hollywood as we know it.Well today we sat down with Jordan Newman, Head of Content Partnerships at Spotify to talk about exactly this! His role is focused on Podcasts, and working with Creators who are actively trying to build their own IP and launch full blown shows.

A massive $100 billion bidding war between Paramount and Netflix for Warner Brothers is shaking up the film industry , raising alarms about monopolies economics. This potential consolidation could severely impact hollywood business by violating antitrust policy and challenging existing market regulation. This would depress wages for actors, directors, PAs, producers, and ANYONE who works in the film industry. Not only that, it will increase the subscription prices of these services!!!I had the opportunity to sit down with Senator Elizabeth Warren to talk about these monopolies, how it will impact the people working in film, and how this could have rippling effects in other industries trying to do more corporate consolidation#elizabethwarren #entertainmentindustry #democrats #netflix #warnerbros

The viral British Vogue article “Is It Embarrassing To Have a Boyfriend?” has taken over TikTok and started a huge debate about modern relationships, gender roles, and why Gen Z suddenly feels weird about being in a public relationship. In this video, I break down why women feel this way, the epidemic of loneliness, and what it says about dating culture in 2025.What's even more interesting to me is how this discourse has evolved on the internet. From TikTok commentary to feminist think pieces, this conversation has sparked a wide debate on female independence, relationship advice, what it means to be a single girl, and why dating is so difficult for Gen Z.So… is having a boyfriend actually embarrassing now, or is this just another moment in online discourse?0:00 - Intro2:28 - Thank You xx4:05 - Chante Joseph's British Vogue Article8:56 - Single vs Married 12:48 - Why are women tired of men?17:23 - My theories on female dissatisfaction20:17 - Male vs Female Friendships23:38 - The Affordability Crisis24:40 - Male vs Female Cultural Divide28:45 - I don't think it's embarassing...32:30 - Critiques#videoessay #britishvogue #singlegirl

Orville Peck is living proof that it takes 10 years to be an Overnight Success

From being a ballet dancer in South Africa, an actor in London, and a touring artist in a punk band for nearly 15 years– there is NO ONE with a journey quite like his.

He exemplifies that the first step of your career does not need to look like the last step, and no matter where you are, or how long you’ve been doing something. You can ALWAYS make a creative pivot.

Not only that, he doesn’t sit inside the box or conform to the “standards” of the industry. How many other gay country singers wearing a fringe mask can you name? But it was exactly that which made him stand out.

So I wanted to sit down with him to learn more about his journey and talk all things his new EP “Appolossa”
