In this episode, we speak with James Spiro, a journalist and editor who spent years inside Israel's tech ecosystem, including as a senior journalist and editor at CTech by Calcalist, where he wrote roughly 1,800 stories and conducted around 350 video interviews. In recent years, James moved beyond legacy media and built The Spiro Circle - an independent publication and podcast focused on long-form, trust-based conversations, often collaborating with Forbes Israel. This conversation is about independence, credibility, and what it takes to build real media value in a noisy ecosystem. What We Dig Into: The Courage to “Jump Off the Cliff” James speaks openly about how scary it is to go independent. “It's scary... you jump off the cliff, and then you see what happens.” What made it possible: • Becoming a father • Living through the war • A feeling that even “safe” stability can be dangerous “Comfort is really appealing and actually quite dangerous.” Parenthood as a Confidence Engine James explains that learning how to be a parent reminded him what daily growth feels like. “For the first time in a long time, I was learning every day.” He ties that experience to confidence in other areas. “Slowly, Slowly, Slowly - Then All at Once” James describes how big changes often land. “Some things... happen slowly and then all at once.” It is not a single leap. It is an accumulation of readiness. The Biggest Opportunity in Media Right Now James names a very specific shift. The new PR and media skill is not the sound bite. It is long-form presence. “The emphasis is not to build a sound bite response for television, but it's to hone the skills to sit down and talk for 40 minutes, 50 minutes for a podcast like this.” He extends it beyond business: • Politicians • Presidents • Unfiltered, unedited conversations becoming expected “We're not going back... the public expects... to sit down and talk.” Truth, Reputation, and the New Risks The conversation goes deep into the modern trust crisis. Key ideas discussed: • Iterative journalism and compounding misinformation • Audience capture through subscription incentives • Echo chambers created by monetization models • AI and LLMs amplifying corrupted inputs James frames reputation as the long-term defense. “I'm not entitled to an audience. I have to work for my audience.” Where Media Is Evolving James believes media will become: • More fragmented • More democratized • Less institution-led • More individual-led “Individuals will be breaking stories... and traditional media outlets won't be gatekeepers.” Childhood Pattern - Curiosity, People, and Stories Why This Episode Matters: This episode is a reality check for anyone building a voice, a platform, or a career path that relies on trust. It explores: • How credibility is built without institutions • Why long-form is becoming the new power format • How truth competes with incentives • What independence demands emotionally and practically You'll Walk Away With: • A clearer understanding of the shift from institutions to individual credibility • A practical view of why long-form media is rising • A grounded look at what it really takes to go independent • A sharper lens on trust, reputation, and misinformation • A reminder that consistency compounds when you enjoy the craft • A simple framing of “success” as resonance, not vanity metrics Measured, thoughtful, and highly relevant to anyone building in public. Enjoy your listen.

Google's latest AI overviews are making it harder than ever to drive organic traffic to your website. Instead of sending users to blogs and independent creators, Google is stealing content directly from sites, repackaging it with AI, and serving it at the top of search results. Meanwhile, YouTube—the platform Google owns—is doing the opposite. YouTube is actively boosting smaller creators and making it easier for videos to reach new audiences. In this episode, Eric dives into: How Google's AI overviews are cutting independent creators out of search results. Why YouTube is pushing small creators forward while Google throttles organic reach. The paradox of Google's approach to AI and why it matters for content creators. Why now is the time to shift your focus from blogging to video content. If you rely on Google for traffic, this episode is a must-listen. A Word From Our Sponsor This podcast is sponsored by Riverside.fm—the best platform for recording high-quality remote podcasts and videos.

This week, we get an inside look at the independent creator model of media with a two-part conversation: First, Ben and Max interview Substack co-founder and chief writing officer, Hamish McKenzie, about the platform's appeal for the resistance on the left, their move into video, and why they turned down Elon Musk's offer to buy them a few years ago. Then, former Mixed Signals co-host and newly independent creator, Nayeema Raza, joins to talk about her foray into the new media landscape, what she's learned about the space, and why her show, Smart Girl Dumb Questions, isn't on Substack.

In the debate about cancel culture, it's become cliché to claim that the powers that be won't permit certain types of entertainment anymore. Matt Kibbe and Matt Battaglia challenge this conception in a conversation with comics writer Joseph Keatinge, co-founder and chief creative officer at Vast Vision Publishing. Keatinge talks about the freedom and flexibility that comes from cutting loose the corporate bureaucracy and taking control of your own art. Through independent publishing, creators don't have to answer to moral guardians or timid HR departments. This means that they can focus on telling compelling stories, not checking boxes or enforcing quotas.

There are all sorts of different uses for Web3, but supporting independent creators is a really important one, yet it's one that doesn't always get enough conversation. We are doing that conversation now in this Outer Edge LA Twitter Space with the founders of Kreatorhood, Ayesha Kanji and Maani Hariri. Ayesha and Maani share the vision behind their innovative project and how it helps independent creators thrive amid the ups and downs of the Web3 economy. Also joining the conversation to share their thoughts are Josh Ong of Bored Room Ventures, Christina Flynn of Intentional, artist and musician Ed Balloon, and musician and futurist Scott Page. There is a whole lot to unpack from this conversation.

One  of my favorite titles for an album comes from The Animals. They did a bunch of albums up to 1969, then for a year or two there were a couple of compilation albums after they broke up.  But in 1977 the Animals reunited and released a new album, titled Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted. I don't know what made me think of that. Anyway. (heh.) This was one of those episodes where, the more I found, the more there was TO find. And so what I thought would be a relatively short episode clocks in at close to twenty minutes. What a bonus for ye! "Without You" has humble beginnings and a huge, happy ending, except for the composers, Pete Ham and Tom Evans. Although it was a huge hit for Harry Nilsson and later Mariah Carey, neither composer saw much money for it. They, themselves, didn't see much potential in the song, so they buried it in the dead center of the album, at the end of Side 1. Then in 1975, after years of mismanagement and legal squabbles, Ham committed suicide shortly after learning that all of his money had disappeared. Then, in 1983, following a dispute over royalties from the song, which had been in escrow going back to the Apple Records era, Evans also committed suicide.

I think that by now the Monkees have overcome their epithet of "Prefab Four," which I suppose was clever but not especially accurate. At least three of the Monkees were musicians who could act. I'd argue that Micky Dolenz was an actor who could play music. (More on that below.) Having said that, however, he's got one of the best voices of the rock and roll era, so my label comes from the fact that he came from acting rather than from music, as the others did. That they didn't write most of their own music is really of no consequence, given that the pressure for artists to write their own material wasn't really there yet. Similarly, the Monkees were under a tight contract, which made that difficult. Every move they made toward autonomy was met with resistance. In Michael Nesmith's case, it meant some acrimony between him and the label. At any rate, as I mention early in the show, "Daydream Believer" was the Monkees' last Number One hit, but it was only  their second-to-last Top Ten in the United States.  (Their last was 1968's "Valleri," which peaked at #3.) After that, it was the bottom half of the Hot 100 for the band until a brief comeback in 1986. While the  band members had achieved the autonomy they sought, they were also drifting apart as a group. Dolenz had lost interest in drumming, preferring instead to let session musicians take over. Producer Chip Douglas also noted that Dolenz was the weak link musically. He said that Dolenz' work on Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. was cobbled together from several takes of the same song. The cancellation of the show and the poor reception of the film Head didn't help either. Finally Peter Tork quit the group by  buying out his contract at the end of 1968. By the time their television special 33⅓ Revolutions per Monkee aired in April 1969, Tork was long gone. Click here for a transcript of this episode. Click here to become a Patron of the show.
