    The CEO Who's Creating Jobs in the AI Economy | Meghan Joyce and Tsvetta Kaleynska

    AI is changing everything — but is it really killing jobs, or creating a brand new category of them? In this episode of The Money Signal: From Main Street to Wall Street, Tsvetta sits down with Meghan Joyce, Co-Founder and CEO of Duckbill — the first AI consumer application that's not just automating tasks, but actually creating flexible, human-powered work opportunities in the AI economy. Meghan brings a rare combination of operator experience and market vision: from Senior Policy Advisor at the U.S. Treasury, to investor at Bain Capital, to scaling Uber's U.S. & Canada business through IPO, to leading operations at Oscar Health from growth stage through public markets — and now founding one of the most talked-about AI startups redefining how consumers get things done. We go deep on: 🧠How shifting consumer behavior is driving demand for AI-powered personal assistance 💼 Why the "AI kills jobs" narrative is missing the bigger story 📈 What her experience at Uber and Oscar Health taught her about scaling through uncertainty 🔮 What the future of work actually looks like — and who wins 🎙 Hosts: Tsvetta Kaleynska — Consumer Data & Social Listening Expert 📡 About The Money Signal: From Main Street to Wall Street — where real stories meet market intelligence.

    The Woman Who Discovered Lady Gaga: 'Snoop Got a Billion Streams, Made $45K' | Wendy Starland

    In this landmark episode of The Money Signal: From Main Street to Wall Street, Tsvetta Kaleynska sits down with Wendy Starland — Grammy-nominated songwriter, Songwriters Hall of Fame honoree, and the woman who discovered Lady Gaga before the world knew her name. Wendy reveals what it really took to turn an unknown Stefani Germanotta into a global icon, and how those same lessons became the blueprint for MusicSoul, an AI-powered super app set to disrupt the entire streaming and creator economy. The numbers alone tell a damning story: one billion streams on a major music platform can earn an artist less than $45,000. The music industry generated $22 billion last year, yet the artists who drive that value see almost none of it. Wendy is changing that — giving creators, influencers, podcasters, and everyday users 70% of gross platform revenue, while using AI to match content with curated brand audiences at a scale no other platform has attempted. This episode covers the hidden signals behind the creator economy's breaking point, why traditional advertising has stopped working for Fortune 500 brands, and how MusicSoul is flipping the script by making brands the distribution engine. From backstage meet-and-greets with Beyoncé to UN partnerships and anti-bullying campaigns powered by celebrity reach, Wendy shares a vision of technology that doesn't replace humanity — it funds it. 🎙 Hosts:Tsvetta Kaleynska — Consumer Data & Social Listening Expert 📡 About The Money Signal: From Main Street to Wall Street — where real stories meet market intelligence.
