Investor vs. Founder Careers - A reflection

Founders are key to any successful company, and the creator economy is no exception. There comes a time when every founder is ready to step aside, but exits as a social media creator are notoriously difficult to navigate. If you are the sole face of the brand that your audience has come to know and love, how can it survive without you? Join Matthew Patrick (aka "MatPat") – founder, long-time host, & President of Theorist Entertainment, and his business partner Lucas Kollmann, CEO of Theorist’s parent company Lunar X, and they dive into the economics around creating online and how to maintain success for a social channel after the founding creator departs.
