To help guide you through the process, Chip and Joanna Gaines will share their invaluable wisdom and experience, and designer Emily Henderson will walk you through the new rules of home design.

    The Unlimited Potential of the Creator Economy with Eva Longoria and Sahil Bloom

    The Unlimited Potential of the Creator Economy with Eva Longoria and Sahil Bloom

    Social media isn’t just a multi-billion-dollar industry for the creators of the most popular platforms. Today, anyone can reach millions and turn their ideas, creativity, and passions into purpose and profit. So it should be no surprise that influencers generate more than $100 billion per year, and that number continues to trend upward as more platforms cater to creators. Because of that, the creator economy has completely reshaped the way we think of brands, e-commerce, and business, and influenced the way we consume media. If you’re a citizen of the Internet, you’re impacted by the content that finds its way into your social feeds daily. In this episode, actress Eva Longoria and investor-turned-influencer Sahil Bloom explore how to fine-tune your social feed and why there is still so much more room for growth for creators, new and old.

Great pod

….Tim and Gwyneth podcast was good. I think you caught her being distracted a couple times, and she says “like” too much, to the point of well, distraction. I lost count at 34. Maybe she can use the intuition she talks about to talk like the middle aged woman she is, instead, like, a teenager.
