Are incumbent media networks losing ground? Kamala stuck to broadcast media, while Trump bypassed traditional filters and reached audiences as an influencer, taking his message to Rogan and Fridman.

Cryptocurrency. What's your first thought when you hear that word? Maybe you're already an investor and you know the potential in this growing space. Maybe you have a healthy curiosity but reasonable skepticism about it.

But leave it to serial entrepreneur Brit Morin to bust down those gates and wave in a community of people to learn all about how to invest and benefit from an industry that will reach an estimated value of $10 trillion in the next five years. You might know Brit Morin from her lifestyle and education company Brit + Co, but in this conversation, we're talking about her endeavors in the Web3 and cryptocurrency arena. She will demystify the terms and concepts you need to know to get started, why it's not too late to dive into the space, how people are making money with crypto, and some advice as you get started or grow your portfolio in the world of Web3.  GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES: jennakutcherblog.com/britmorin

You can marshal the power of millennials to grow your company, but you have to redefine your concept of loyalty. To keep millennials as users (and employees), you’ll need to keep evolving — and help them evolve. No one understands this better than Brit + Co Founder Brit Morin. As a maker and media creator, Brit is constantly co-evolving with her (mostly millennial) audience—and team. It’s a secret to scale with the generation adapted to a world of constant change. | With a cameo appearance by relationship therapist Esther Perel (Bestselling author and Host of the podcast “Where Should We Begin”). Esther has lately turned her eye toward work relationships; her perspective on the millennial generation — and the broad social trends that have shaped their collective character — may give you an “Aha!” moment.

Publishers are coming up with a variety of ways to support content and encourage direct reader revenue. But it all starts with building a brand that people want to pay for. Brit Morin, founder of Brit+Co and a former Google employee, has been working on that for about seven years now. But every brand’s sustainability and elasticity has to go beyond a founder’s career span. Morin discusses revenue, differentiating content and more on this episode.

It's been six years since Brit Morin launched Brit + Co, a digital media company with an audience and employee base that's largely female. She opens up about the challenges she faced raising money as a female entrepreneur, why she still feels "unconscious bias" exists for women in tech, and her decision to cover political issues on her platforms. Produced by Haley Draznin, CNN.

Brit Morin found her way to Silicon Valley by answering an ad on Craigslist that led to an internship and eventually a job at Apple. She went on to work under Marissa Mayer at Google, but in the back of her mind she always knew she wanted to start a company. After four years at Google, she decided to quit and with 6 months of savings, she went off try to start a business. Now, less than 10 years later, she has created one of the largest digital media companies for women that produces hundreds of pieces of content monthly and reaches over 175 million people. So how did she do it? On this episode, Brit opens up about taking risks, building a company from the ground up, the future of technology and reinventing social networking. Brit + Co is a part of the Disney Accelerator 2017 Program. The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of ABC News.

Before Brit Morin could light that creative spark in all of us, she had to find that creativity within herself. After working for Google for four years, she left her stellar job working under Marissa Mayer to start her own company. But first, she decided to give herself a 6-month break. And those six months were, as Brit describes it, some of the most transformative months of her life. She enrolled in classes at a creative space for makers, and she abandoned the laptop screen for laser cutters, 3D printers, and clay. That experience ultimately inspired her to found Brit + Co, a new media and commerce company that enables creativity through inspirational content, online classes and do-it-yourself kits. The company now has partnerships with brands such as Target, and Brit is a regular DIY and lifestyle contributor to the Today show. On the podcast, Brit discusses her six month sabbatical after Google, how leadership roles can become political, and why everyone is a creative.
