What's up Rock Nation, we welcome back our second ever reoccurring guest, JT Barnett! Since being on the show last, JT has made some changes with his company CreatorX. They have transitioned into pairing creators with brands, who are now paying full time salaries to bring creators in house. We discuss what brands are looking for in creators, and it takes for a creator to be hired by these brands. He's also tripling down on content, and specifically YouTube, and feels as though lower production paired with speed and volume, are his X factor.

What's up Rock Nation, today we're talking about Kevin Kelly's theory of 1,000 true fans. The idea of 1,000,000 followers seems cool in theory, but to create a career out of this, you don't need 1,000,000 followers. You just need 1,000 true fans. We dive into what the theory is and how to garner a true fan.
