    Ep #33: Ted Buras- He Built the “Linked-In for Content Creators”

    Send us Fan Mail Finding the right people to collaborate with shouldn't require digging through endless DMs, hoping someone is legitimate, or relying on social media algorithms to connect you.

In this episode, we talk about: • The problem Collab GPS is trying to solve for creators • Shadowbanning and the frustration of relying on social media • Vetting collaborators, creator verification, and safety • Why releases and 2257 documentation are so important • Ted's journey from working behind the camera to creating content himself • Building a startup while raising his son as a single father • Becoming comfortable with his sexuality later in life • His next project, Joystiq, and his vision for a different kind of LGBTQ platform • The deeper theme connecting both of his businesses: helping people find each other What starts as a conversation about creator technology becomes a much bigger discussion about entrepreneurship, risk, fatherhood, sexuality, self-acceptance, and building something you genuinely believe can help people.
