My name! In the same email as B.J. Novak from The Office!

Look into my crystal ball
What are you betting on, when it comes to the future?
With jobs and entire vocations disappearing and the rise of AI making many careers redundant, what industries and spaces should we be investing in?
That’s something that’s on my mind a lot as my children get older.
For me, personally? I can think of no greater insurance policy than developing your personal brand and building out your own media empire, because what’s clear is that what ever it is that you do, it’s going to take content and a willing audience to get you there.
In fact, some value the creator economy to be $250 billion (double that of the estimated $104 billion in 2022).
No small potatoes.
Growing your brand, audience and platform (using books) is something I’m passionate about, which is why I’m so excited for the upcoming CEX event and all the experts speaking there.

Should you adopt a new content platform?
Speaking of creator economy, I'm a huge fan of Lindsey Gamble's newsletter, where each week he breaks down the latest news in the world of influencer marketing, the creator economy and the latest social media trends.
I know how daunting it can seem to join or master any platform, which is why I loved Lindsey's take on why now is as good a time as any to try something new in the world of social media, and why there's still time to get an edge over the competition.
As Lindsey says, even platforms like TikTok are still building out, which means you still have a chance to find your niche and gain traction.
