Dynamo's Nicholas Carlson's pivot to videoUpdate: 2025-05-13
Description
Nicholas Carlson spent nearly a decade building Business Insider into a video powerhouse to complement its webpage model. Now, with his new venture Dynamo, he’s making a clean break from the old model. No articles. No CMS. No pageviews. Dynamo is a video-first media company focused on YouTube and LinkedIn, with a flagship show called Business Explains the World. In this episode, Nich explains why he’s betting on evergreen content, what he learned from Insider’s rise, and how Dynamo is approaching storytelling, distribution, and unit economics from day one. We talk about what it takes to start fresh in a mature platform ecosystem — and why the future of media might look more like TV than a homepage.
