I figured: what better way to get up to speed on the biggest trends in tech than to talk to someone who looks at them every single day?

I love trying to spot new trends on the internet before they happen. And I’m not often very good at it. But over the past few months I’ve been checking out Exploding Topics a couple of times a week to see what’s happening on the internet, and I’m always surprised.

Right now, some of the top trends on the homepage are ‘sleep gummies’, ‘side hustle’, and ‘ceramic coating’.

Anyway, here's the interview. 

Greg Isenberg (@gregisenberg) is the founder of a communities design firm,  @latecheckoutplz. His posts, The Guide to Unbundling Reddit and The Unbundling of Udemy, have inspired hundreds of people to start up their own online communities. In this episode, Pando's Aimee Pearcy (@aimeepearcy_) talks to Greg about how to spot an 'unbundling' opportunity and build a monetizable community around it.
