My 4 Takeaways from VidCon 2024 🎥 1. **The Creator Community is Maturing**: This growth brings diverse perspectives and experiences. With time, we can identify patterns, see what works and what doesn’t, and refine our approaches. 2. **Relationships Matter**: I’m proud of the relationships I’ve built over the years and the progress we’ve all made together. It’s easier to collaborate with old friends, acquaintances and colleagues. On the flip side, continuing to stay humble and curious while meeting new people doing amazing things energizes and inspires me. 3. **Monetization Challenges Persist**: Despite the creator economy being worth billions, many are still figuring out how to make money outside the top 1%. My hope is for creators to leverage their talent and expertise to collaborate with companies, helping to build a better ecosystem together. 4. **Failure is Part of the Process**: Burnout, anxiety, and industry challenges were common themes. The lesson? It’s okay to close a chapter and move on to another. Failures and mistakes aren’t defining; they’re part of your wisdom and experience. They help you reflect on your values, refine your purpose and make you better at what you do when you’re ready to jump back in.

Solid hops!
So good seeing you and sharing the OG stage 🤍
Loved catching up with you Shira going deep into our respective origin stories and picking apart how to bring value to creators in the future
Creator used to be a scary term where folks said “that’s not me”. Now that bar is lower as more people join the movement, which is a great thing.
Guess I gotta work on my small talk then. But seriously, great points! Especially the failure one - gotta collect those like Pokemon cards 👀
Great takeaways! We've certaily come along way and it's incredible to see the turnout every year at VidCon!
There has definitely been a lot of growth with creators and influencers recently
