The Value of Learning by Doing [Brett Dashevsky]
Description
Brett Dashevsky is at the heart of the New York creator world. As host and founder of Creator Economy NYC, he and his team build a monthly program of engaging speakers from all across the ecosystem.
He's also the Head of Content Creators for Kickstarter, working to help demonstrate income alternatives to merch stores and subscription plans.
Between these two amazing endeavors, he took time out of his busy schedule to share some of what he's learned from interviewing and partnering with some of the top creator talent in the US. He shares his advice for growing your audience ("just take the work seriously!"), what Kickstarter can offer creators who want to fundraise, and what to do when an advertiser wants to take over a conversation with a creator (spoiler: don't let them!).
