The Created Economy was a podcast network I co-founded with entrepreneur Greg Narain in May 2021 to examine how technology was reshaping the creator economy. What began as a single flagship show grew into a three-program slate with over 100 episodes published:
- The Created Economy (56 episodes): the flagship interview series featuring founders, operators, and creators at the forefront of the space
- Created Briefs (30 episodes): a news-driven show tracking the week’s most important creator economy developments
- Created Works (20 episodes): a Web3-focused series exploring emerging opportunities for independent creators
As the co-founder and editorial lead, I drove the editorial strategy and guest development across The Created Economy. That included sourcing and booking guests, shaping interview question lines, running the show during production, and overseeing all post-production—show notes, video publishing, and distribution across YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and additional platforms. I also handled episode promotion across social media channels.
