Today on the podcast we sit down with founder of Comicker LLC, Sean Williams. Comicker is a diversity focused, digital first, creator friendly comics publisher that Sean operates out of Austin, Minnesota. Sean is a New York Times best-selling comics writer and Montana native who cut his teeth in the LA film scene. Today on the podcast we talk about: • The growth and creation of Comicker. • The business model behind the publishing company. • Trends Sean is seeing today in the comics industry, including expansion of paper comics into library systems. • Lessons Sean learned from his first business endeavor Foot in the Door Entertainment, a film and television production company. • The pivot Comicker is currently in away from digital and towards print. • The difficulties of “operating in isolation” as an entrepreneur. • The prep work Sean is currently doing for an exciting new iteration of Comicker. “I saw how hard it was to basically break in as a creator…. There was no bridge between school and the real world. I wanted to create that opportunity for other creators, in particular.” -Sean Williams, Founder of Comicker LLC

In the fourteenth episode of the Strong Style Story Podcast, the usual suspects in Geoffrey Wessel and Chris Damasceno are together alongside JB Roe to discuss the on-goings of New Japan Pro Wrestling.
