@sophiakianni is co-creator of The Burnouts, a top business podcast made for and by strong female entrepreneurs. She’s also the co-founder of @phiaco and @climatecardinals . We brought her on the show to ask about the tech stack that helps her manage that load (hint, she’s an @adobefirefly fan).
How do you scale your content?

This week, @liahaberman joined Lauren as special co-host! We began by exploring Meta’s new verification tech and Instagram’s new crackdowns on unoriginal content. What does it mean for our dear memes??
Also, fresh off the Scalable Pod Summit where she met up with Josh, she shares more about which conferences are worth attending. (heads up to any conferences who want us for live pods: we’re game.)
Finally, we also interviewed Sophia Kianni, founder of Phia and co-creator of The Burnouts, to learn how she scales her content with tech.
Thanks again Lia for co-hosting!

On the most recent pod, we invited on @jesser Co President Zach Miller to talk about the recent reorganization in the business, @bucketsquad and beyond. We also asked about key man risk, a common pitfall in creator built companies. Here’s what he had to say. #jesser #creatoreconomy
Not all followers are created equal. This week on the podcast we sat down with @linkedin VP Alex Josephson to discuss the platform’s NewFronts updates, and how it differentiates its creator offerings. #creatoreconomy #podcast #linkedin
We brought @avigandhi , founder of @creatoraccessnetwork and @thecreatorlogic onto the show to talk about the TBPN / OpenAI deal. We think it opens up all sorts of interest and possibilities for creators who are also storyteller for specific niches.

YouTube is officially taking the gloves off. During their Newfronts presentation, YouTube took direct aim at TikTok and Meta, urging advertisers to shift their budget away from competitors, and claiming an 86% higher ROI than them. We break it all down this week on the pod. Also, this week, Instagram tests, a premium subscription, and there is a renaissance of branded web series upon us.

@tubi and TikTok just announced a new partnership which will see short form creators moving towards the silver screen. This week on the pod, we welcomed Rich Bloom (EVP at Tubi, and GM of Creator Programs) to elaborate on the deal and share a few examples.

Kidslop: the nonsensical IP soup that’s behind some of the fast growing short-form channels on the internet. But: what the heck even is it? We explored on the pod this week with some help from Tubefilter’s Sam Gutelle. #kidslop #creatoreconomy
How big can live shopping really grow? This week on the pod, we had Armand Wilson, Vice President of Categories and Expansions at @whatnot join us to discuss the platform’s 2026 State of Live Selling Report. Spoiler: it continues to grow exponentially.
Check out the full pod for the complete conversation.

This week: @lawandcrime bought @courttvnetwork — what does it mean when a YouTube-first company buys a traditional broadcast network? We brought on Law & Crime President Rachel Stockman to explain.

We’ve produced creator films at the box office before. What @markiplier just pulled off in theatres — choking out nearly all of Hollywood with his Iron Lung — is outstanding. Massive kudos. #ironlung #creatoreconomy
@dhar.mann had a crazy week. Between his microdrama megadeal and his new title as @nfl Chief Kindness Officer, it’s one of the biggest weeks a creator has ever had — so naturally, we brought in @dharmannstudios Chief Strategy Officer Ross Habif to help us make sense of it all. #creatoreconomy #podcast #dharmann
