Alex Kantrowitz is a journalist who has spent years studying the inner workings of tech companies—how and why they make strategic decisions. He’s also a solo creator with a newsletter and podcast (Big Technology), and has written a book, Always Day One, in which he studies the internal decision-making frameworks within big tech companies.
In this conversation, we talk to Alex about:
- Why the creator economy went mainstream, and how Big Tech’s attitude toward it shifted
- Why he is bullish on Twitter Spaces and why he thinks live audio will not really replace podcasting
- His work as a solo creator, and how having direct control of his audience compares to his time working for larger media companies
- The pros and cons of monetizing through advertising versus subscriptions, and
- His personal strategies to avoid burning out
