Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on January 11, 2022. If you've been following me for any length of time, you've probably heard about the years I spent chasing money - and how it left me emotionally bankrupt. Don't get me wrong - money is a powerful force. It gives you the ability to close your eyes, imagine something that you want to create, and then open your eyes and actually be able to go out there and do it. However, I've also found that people have wildly different opinions on money, how we should relate to it, and how it affects our levels of happiness and fulfillment. But what do people who have really mastered the game of money have to say about it? What constitutes a wealthy life? How should we define success? How do we create and monetize long-term value for those we serve? Todays' episode of Impact Theory answers those questions, and many more. I've assembled some of my favorite moments from past guest interviews, all revolving around our relationships with money and financial success.

There is nothing that Artnet's Art Critic Ben Davis likes better than finding a name for a phenomenon that's all around him, but that he doesn't have a name for yet. The writer and theorist Nadia Asparouhova has a new book out that offered exactly this. It's called Antimemetics: Why Some Ideas Resist Spreading. We tend to think of cultural influence as being tied to popularity and visibility. What Asparouhova wants us to pay attention to is a whole other class of cultural stuff whose influence is linked instead to being hard to find or difficult to understand. These are what she calls “anti-memes.” It's the opinion puts you at odds with some people but really connects you to others, so you're careful how you share it. It's the artwork that looks like nonsense to the majority of the audience but is full of intricate meaning to fans. The theory of "anti-memes” is about how some of our most intense cultural investments are below the radar—not because they haven't been found yet, but because that's how they are built. All this touches on themes that a lot of artists have been thinking about. Asparouhova's book, in fact, is published by a group of artists and thinkers called the Dark Forest Collective, named after writer Yancey Strickler's idea of the internet as a “dark forest,” a space that has become so contentious and commercial that the smart people retreat to more private digital spaces for authenticity and cachet. Asparouhova's book helps focus in on the question of how difficult ideas and art that's not built to go viral survive and find real fans now.

Yancey Strickler on Metalabel, Digital Scarcity, and the Coming Creative RevolutionKickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler unveils his vision of a radical economic future where artists become society's power brokers. Through Metalabel, he's building the infrastructure for collective commerce and creative ownership that could transform how we value and exchange culture.“In 50 years, artists won't just influence culture—they'll control capital”Key takeaways:{00:13:10} - “The concept of art and creativity that we think of today that we take as givens that we're like, “Oh my God, I have to promote my drop again today,” are incredibly modern inventions.” - Yancey{00:24;51] - “I believe {this project} will produce a world where 50 or 60 years from now, artists and creative people are the most powerful members of society. They will have the greatest influence. They will have the greatest access to wealth. They will be the most powerful people in society, and this is a structure by which that will occur. And that's a project we'll announce next year.” - Yancey{00:26:20} - “We all want to be able to homestead and have our own spaces that are ours, but we also want to be part of spaces where we can be discovered. And so how can our catalogs exist in a world like that? Artists right now are excluded from capitalism. Let's change that.” - Yancey{00:28:53} - “People are still just looking in the dead channel, the dying channels…where we've been trained to look for what is new and what matters. And the answer is that that's not where those things are happening now.” - Yancey{00:38:09} - “Anyone who's 20 years old today, born and raised on the Internet, there's just like a mentality, a metamodern, just flat openness, super well-curated sort of vibe that I just think lends itself quite well to operating very specific, but I think very successful, small to medium-sized creative businesses.” - YanceyAssociated Links:Pre-order the LORE Journal by Future Commerce on MetalabelConnect with Yancey Strickler and learn more about MetalabelThe Dark Forest CollectiveKirby Ferguson's New York Times piece, Is Creativity Dead?Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Yancey Strickler is the co-founder and former CEO of Kickstarter, and the founder of Metalabel, a platform for releasing collective work. He's also the author of This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World. I'm thrilled to share our recent conversation in this episode. Yancey started out as a music journalist before applying his talents to helping the world share its creative pursuits. For him, creativity and humanity are implicitly connected, and so he's been a forerunner in thinking about how to build companies that bring good things into the world and are also successful without devolving into extractive behaviors. Not that any of this is simple. As Yancey says, “Everything is harder than you think. To do anything well is so hard. [But] if you put in the work, you don't need to fear it.” We talked about the founding and growth of Kickstarter, which has been profitable since it's 14th month, the power of humility, past mistakes and future hopes, why he started Metalabel, and more including:  • The innumerable inventions that make up our world  • Crisis hopping in Kickstarter's early days • The challenges of funding speculative projects • Being one of the first Public Benefit Corps • Creativity and self-knowledge • Company building as an art • Collective creativity • The Bento Method  — Brought to you by: Mercury – The art of simplified finances. ⁠⁠Learn more⁠⁠.

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Yancey Strickler about the problems he sees with the creator economy and why onchain release clubs are a better framing for creative and collaborative work, and we discuss what a post-capitalist world might look like. Yancey is the co-founder of Metalabel and Kickstarter. We start by envisioning what a post-capitalist world might look like and discussing how practical this model is in the world as we know it today. A lot of this part of the conversation stems from an article he wrote back in 2019 called Post-Capitalism for Realists, as well as his book, This Could Be Our Future.We more or less agree that while it sounds really nice and idyllic to live in a world where we can all pursue our passions and fully live out our values without worrying about how we're going to make money from everything we do, the reality is that we all need money to survive, and things are expensive, and it's therefore an unavoidable part of life (at least in the U.S. and western world) to consider how your passions or objectives can be monetized and to dispense with activities that don't monetize or at least spend a much smaller amount of your time on non-profit generating activities.From there, we dive deeper into a conversation around the creator economy - a term that Yancey actually isn't too fond of, and he explains why in this episode. He prefers to use a framing more analogous to release clubs or labels when thinking about creator collaboration and co-creation.Even though the creator economy is probably one of our most talked about topics on this season of Rehash, I really appreciate that each of our guests has brought a different perspective to the table. The lens through which Yancey views the creator economy is certainly a unique one, and I'd love to hear what you think after listening to this episode.Come find us on Twitter or Discord, or write us at rehashweb3@gmail.com and let us know what you think the future of the creator economy will look like.

On the Ledger today, we are glad to receive a man who has changed the content creation industry. Yancey Strickler is one of the crowdfunding pioneers who co-founded Kickstarter 17 years ago, who now turned into a NFT degen in the last months and founded Metalabel, a release club where groups of people who share the same interests collaborate to drop and support work together.In an one-on-one discussion with our Chief Experience Officer, he discusses inventing the coolest magazine of tomorrow, how on-chain art is and will be changing the music industry and the life of creators (even if a large majority of them still do not want to have anything to do with crypto), how floor price does not reflect the order of magnitude of a piece of art, the importance of carefully choosing who you're squadding with, and how to resist mediocrity when building your new project.

Are you ready to build a better world?  How do we dig ourselves out of this hyper-individualistic hole? When it comes to cultivating a mindset that focuses on serving the collective alongside the individual, there is no one better to talk to than Yancey Stricker. Yancey is the co-founder of Kickstarter and the creator of the strategic decision-making method, Bentoism, which offers an alternative approach to making decisions that mindfully consider our current self, the people around us, our future selves, and the people we will be surrounded by in the future.  In this episode of #YAPClassic, Yancey and Hala talked about the components of Bentoism and how to use to make more informed decisions in any scenario. They discuss Kickstarter's come-up story and why they initially had trouble getting investors on board. He described what it was like to co-found Kickstarter with no business experience and how that led to imposter syndrome.  They also talk about the dangers of embracing financial maximization, The Bento Society, and Yancey's predictions for the next several years of our society.

In this episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Muhlethaler interviews fashion journalist and writer Ana Santi. Ana has held various roles, including deputy editor at Drapers Magazine, a renowned UK fashion trade magazine, before going in-house at a brand called Jigsaw, where she became their first editor in chief. There she launched an in-house magazine and even published a book, called “Comfort Zones”, a collection of original stories by 28 women writers, including Pandora Sykes, Elizabeth Day, and Emma Gannon among others for the charity Women for Women International.Her new book, “Three Things to Help Heal the Planet”, was published in May 2022, and Anne was very keen to get into it with her and to have a conversation about the important topics that are covered across the 21 essays that make up the book.So in this interview, the two talk about Ana's journey, from her native Brazil to the UK as an eight-year-old, her love of languages and what brought her to journalism. Ana shares how and why working as a fashion reporter was a launching pad towards this new book to talk about sustainability and the possibility of individual action to help the planet — something she outlines is meant for ‘people who have choices', as she goes on to explain.The two end on discussing why we should learn to be better ancestors, and how that possibly will help us leave the planet in what is hopefully a better state than it currently is. A thought-provoking, enjoyable interview that will hopefully leave listeners with the desire to both read the book and, if they have the choice, do their bit to help heal the planet. Happy listening!***Selected links from episode:You can find Ana at https://www.ana-santi.com/on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/anasanti1/on Twitter - https://twitter.com/Ana_C_Santion LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ana-santi-8a28a51/And find all her info and up to date links via her Link Tree - https://linktr.ee/anasanti1Drapers online - https://www.drapersonline.com/The book Comfort Zones - https://www.ana-santi.com/comfort-zonesBritish brand Jigsaw - https://www.jigsaw-online.com/Mums for Lungs, the charity - https://www.mumsforlungs.org/This Could Be our Future, the book by Yancey Strickler - https://www.ystrickler.com/book/The Bento Society - http://www.bentoism.org/To Sell is Human, book by Daniel Pink - https://www.danpink.com/books/to-sell-is-human/We Are the Weather, book by Jonathan Safran Foer - https://wearetheweatherbook.com/A Beautiful Constraint, book by Adam Morgan and Mark Bardem - http://www.abeautifulconstraint.com/the-book-2Tristram Stuart, the food waste campaigner - https://www.tristramstuart.co.uk/Robert McKee, author and teacher - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_McKeeGoooders website, ethical and sustainable fashion and accessories - https://goooders.com/Sapiens, the book by Yuval Noah Harari - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapiens:_A_Brief_History_of_HumankindThe quote by Ernest Hemingway, about 'finding the emotion - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1135556-find-what-gave-you-emotion-what-the-action-was-thatCatch 22, the book by Joseph Heller - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/168668.Catch_22 ***If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, we really appreciate your support and feedback, thank you  so much for listening! For all notes and transcripts, please visit Out Of The Clouds on Simplecast - https://out-of-the-clouds.simplecast.com/  Sign up for Anne's email newsletter for more from Out of the Clouds at https://annevmuhlethaler.com. Follow Anne: Twitter: @annvi  IG: @_outoftheclouds

Also, you can now follow us on Twitter and Instagram. Hey guys,Remember when being a music fan meant falling in love with a label and collecting every single release? Today we're going to be talking about labels, and the special role they play in the creator economy —  past, present, and future.These days, when you hear about record labels, it's usually in the context of a high-profile artist going on social media to speak out about being locked into a terrible deal, or some jaw-dropping headline about how the majors are generating a million dollars of streaming revenue in an hour as artists struggle to make rent. But until relatively recently, record labels — and especially independent record labels — occupied a much more influential position in the zeitgeist. In the years before streaming became the de facto mode of discovery, one could argue that they served as a sort of organizing principle for musical knowledge, crystallizing scenes and movements under a recognizable banner that pointed listeners in the right direction and amplified artists operating outside of the commercial establishment. Think: How Dischord Records nurtured D.C.'s rich hardcore scene, or the role that Mac Dre's Thizz Entertainment played in ushering in the Bay Area Hyphy movement, or how Wax Trax! helped define the sound of Industrial music in Chicago. In the platform era, that feeling of being part of something larger than yourself, and being able to benefit from the support of a community that has your back, can be increasingly hard to come by. Which is why Yancey Strickler, a former music journalist and the co-founder of Kickstarter and The Creative Independent, had something of a eureka moment recently while revisiting Michael Azerrad's groundbreaking chronicle of the 1980s punk and indie scenes, Our Band Could Be Your Life: What if, instead of operating like independent economic agents, vying for our attention, streams, and clicks, artists squadded up and released work together? Before long, Strickler had teamed up with some friends to start Metalabel, an organization that describes itself as a “growing universe of knowledge, resources, and tools that inspire creative collaboration, cooperation, and mutual support.” The group, which includes musician Anna Bulbrook, Etsy co-creator Rob Kalin, designer Ilya Yudanov, developer Lauren Dorman, and collective internet culture expert Austin Robey, has yet to reveal what those tools consist of, or what the business model will be, beyond hinting that the project will involve blockchain in some way. (Austin told The Culture Journalist that the company has plans to become collectively owned.) But, like Other Internet's “Squad Wealth” article and Mat Dryhurst and Holly Herndon's “Interdependence” idea before it, the Metalabel concept offers some useful language for describing a paradigm shift that is clearly already underway. You can see it in how independent artists are teaming up to form DAOs, or media pundits hyping up the so-called “great rebundling.”Naturally, we couldn't help but want to dig deeper into the idea: Whether you're a musician, a writer, a fashion designer, or an activist, how might reframing our creative output as releases on a label free us up from the diminishing returns of the platform economy?Today, we're excited to welcome Yancy and Austin — one of the brains behind the digital musicians' cooperative Ampled, as well as Unnamed Fund and Dinner DAO — onto the show. We discuss what The Whole Earth Catalog, the creative studio MSCHF, and the centuries-old science academy The Royal Society have in common (hint: our guests say they are all examples of a metalabel), Yancey's “Dark Forest Theory of the Internet,” and how trying to keep up with the constant churn of content warps our priorities and values as creative people.  Become a paid subscriber to listen to this episode in full.Follow Yancey, Austin, and Metalabel on Twitter Learn more“Introducing Metalabel” Metalabel presentation at ETHDenver 2022“The dark forest theory of the internet” (Yancy Stickler)“What coops and DAOs can learn from each other” (Austin Robey)“Squad wealth” (Sam Hart, Toby Shorin, Laura Lotti)“Hyperstructures” (Zora's Jacob Horne)Episodes to peep if you like this oneIs it time for platform socialism? with James Muldoon Is counterculture even possible on the internet? with Carly BustaWhat are NFTs?

Originally I wanted to have Yancey Strickler as a guest to discuss his book This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World, after I read it last spring. A year has passed since I thought it would be fun to have Yancey on and in that time he created something called Metalabel, and that was equally interesting and maybe more so because I've been actively working on various social architectures to facilitate groups and teams whose purpose is creative action, creating culture, groups and teams that translate ideas into material form. And, somehow, from what I heard and read, Metalabel sounds like it is doing something similar. So, this is what we focused on — futuristic kinds of arrangements of creative cultures. Because this topic is so curious and intriguing and evocative and still at the edge of making sense, I deployed a General Seminar on the topic for Wednesday April 20th at 3pm PDT, General Seminar N°20 - Metalabel WTF Join me and 16 others to work through the question and discuss this idea of the 'Metalabel.' Yancey Strickler is a writer and entrepreneur. He's the cofounder of Kickstarter, cofounder of Metalabel, cofounder of the artist resource The Creative Independent, creator of Bentoism, creator of The Ideaspace, and the author of This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World.

It gives you the ability to close your eyes, imagine something that you want to create, and then open your eyes and actually be able to go out there and do it.However, I've also found that people have wildly different opinions on money, how we should relate to it, and how it affects our levels of happiness and fulfillment.But what do people who have really mastered the game of money have to say about it?What constitutes a wealthy life? How should we define success? How do we create and monetize long-term value for those we serve?Todays' episode of Impact Theory answers those questions, and many more. I've assembled some of my favorite moments from past guest interviews, all revolving around our relationships with money and financial success.What was your #1 takeaway from the episode?

Yancey Strickler (@ystrickler) is an entrepreneur and writer, co-founder of Kickstarter, The Creative Independent, and the author of This Could Be our Future,  A Manifesto for a More Generous World. He's a Distinguished Fellow at the Drucker Institute, one of Fast Company's Most Creative People, and an angel investor in startups, including Hopin, Mati, Organise, Realtime, Supercritical, System, and Wren.Host Anne Muhlethaler met Yancey over Zoom, with 50 or so others, curious after hearing him speak of his Bentoism project on the James Altucher show in Spring 2020. Having gotten to know each other over the past few months via the Bento Society, Anne starts the conversation by asking Yancey about his upbringing in rural Virginia, his passion for reading, writing, and the early days of his career as a music critic in New York City. Yancey talks Anne through the inception of Kickstarter and shares what he learnt about manifesting ideas during the years he spent supporting thousands of creative projects launched on the crowdfunding platform. He then talks about how he came up with the Bento (Beyond Near Term Orientation), a tool he designed while he was in the process of writing his book. After pondering on the meaning of value and the Self, Yancey was in need of a metaphor as he was exploring how to balance decision-making between near and long-term, and going beyond the 'now me' of the present self's needs. The two also chat about data, reputation and identity in the digital age, tribes and post-individualism, self-interest. They finish on whether the Bento can be of help to build a better future for the planet, or per Yancey's original idea, how it could lead us on an intentional path to a better 2050. A fascinating and fun conversation, enjoy! ***Selected Links from the episode You can find Yancey @Ystrickler on Twitter or via his website Ystrickler.comThe Creative Independent - https://thecreativeindependent.com/Bentoism & The Bento Society - https://bentoism.org/joinYancey interviewed on the James Altucher's Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-james-altucher-show/589-yancey-stricklerThe Trouser Press Record Guide - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/899268.The_Trouser_Press_Record_GuideKickstarter's Stats page - https://www.kickstarter.com/help/statsAdam Smith - Wealth of Nations - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_NationsJerry Colonna Reboot - https://www.reboot.io/podcast/Don Cherry - Relativity Suite 2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_SuiteThe Weirdest People in the World  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_WEIRDest_People_in_the_WorldPriya Parker - The Art of Gathering  - https://www.priyaparker.com/thebookPeter Hook  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_HookJoy Division - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_DivisionOur Band Could Be Your Life -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Band_Could_Be_Your_LifeNot for Bread Alone -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_by_Bread_Alone ***If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, it helps people find us and also helps to secure future guests.

Kickstarter and The Bento Society founder Yancey Strickler joins us today to talk about what it was like creating an impact-centered crowdfunding platform in 2009, what being a public-benefit corporation means (and what it doesn't), and bentoism and why it's something we all should practice. Initially beginning his career as a music critic, Yancey crossed paths with Perry Chen who would then go on to be one of his co-founders. With Perry's idea of wanting to throw a concert without having to shell out cash at the start and further driven by creative projects, the two of them along with another friend, Charles Adler, put their heads together and founded Kickstarter.Truly breaking away from the norm, instead of merely supporting projects that would make companies rich, Kickstarter was born with the goal of funding projects without a profit motive, meaning as long as a person found it to be of value to them, then that was enough. Kickstarter eventually became listed as a public-benefit corporation and this decision has allowed and is continuing to allow Kickstarter to succeed in the long term. He then goes on to talk about B Corps and C Corps and the differences between the three. Moving onto The Bento Society, Yancey talks about the bentoism movement and what the bento model or framework is all about. It's not just about self-interest but taking into consideration those around you as well both in the present and in the future. Centered in this framework, Yancey has built a society of thousands of people that have adapted and now use this bento model. They hold weekly activities to allow members of the community to practice bentoism and support projects aligned with their mission through quarterly grants.Yancey's key lessons and quotes from this episode were:“It's quite difficult to make a good decision, a righteous decision in a hard moment. Even the best person will have a hard time doing that. And so, how well is this really set up for long-term success if we are reliant on that?” (10:02)“The idea should be you put the public good and your own personal good side by side, like you don't get to choose one and then the other.” (11:01)“Creating a business is a very powerful way to change things, to do things. It's exciting. It's fun.” (12:23)“The climate is going to make it unconscionable for us to only optimize for financial value.” (19:15)“What solves what I need right now?” (24:23)“Without a destination, you can't get anywhere” (26:28)“In any good negotiation, what do you negotiate? You just shift the playing field.” (29:42)“You may be wrong, but you have to be opinionated.” (30:07)In this episode, we also talked about:How Kickstarter was founded (2:27)Being entrepreneurial and “personal good” and “public good” (8:26)Public-benefit corporations (14:54)Bentoism and how Yancey practices it (21:57)How impact-driven entrepreneurs can use the bento framework (26:25)Finding the balance between profit and impact (32:33)The Bento Society (37:07)What Yancey envisions the world will be in 30 years according to bentoism (39:41)Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/impacthustlers)

Today I'm talking about making decisions for future us in the present moment. All of our decisions have consequences whether we are alive to see them or not. I've been reflecting a lot during this pandemic on how the life of future generations will be affected by current events and how can we make the right decisions to make the place a better place to live even when we are not around anymore. I have been attending the Bento Society (created by Yancey Strickler) weekly calls and I have really enjoyed the Bento model he proposes and I thought it would be a good tool to share in the show today.

Yancey Strickler is the cofounder and ex-CEO of Kickstarter, which revolutionized the field of early-stage investments with the crowdfunding model. The company has helped raise over $5 billion for more than 200,000 projects. After leaving Kickstarter, Yancey became an author and wrote a beautiful book titled This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World. In this book, Yancey lays out how we got to the world where making money became the main and only goal for companies and how we can change that culture through the Bento method. In this podcast, we go deep into how designers can use the Bento method to raise the quality of their arguments in business conversations. www.d.mba

For today's episode of the Purpose and Profit Podcast, I'm so happy to be joined by a very special guest, Yancey Strickler. He's an author, entrepreneur, speaker and thought leader. He's also the co-founder and former CEO of Kickstarter and the creator of a framework, Bentoism, which he shares in his book: This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World. Sign up for Yancey's newsletter here: https://www.ystrickler.com/ In this episode Yancey and I discuss: The key perspective that will enable you to create a workplace culture without fostering organizational anxiety. The most dependable way to maintain core values throughout leadership and employee turnover within a company. The surprising reason why changes needed for decarbonization will happen. The message to our generation from a moderate time traveler set back from 2050. What today's business leaders can learn from JFK. The secret to moving beyond the randomness of life, and tapping into fully intentional decision making. Takeaways from this episode: Take time to question the way things are done, and be intentional about how you're operating your company. Question the status quo to determine if it's the right way forward, or if there is a better way. Employees and consumers are in a position to create the most pressure for change. Use the power you have. As a consumer, and employee, use your dollars and voice to support the change you want to see. The marketplace for all categories continues to be more crowded. To be successful, you'll need to define who you are and who you aren't. In each category, there is a low price leader, and there is a most loved leader. Becoming the most loved has to do with values and unselfish thinking on behalf of the company.

It protects company missions through capital raises and leadership changes, creates more flexibility when evaluating potential sale and liquidity options, and prepares businesses to lead a mission-driven life. B Corporation certification is a third-party validation of a company's current practices in fulfilling a certain threshold of considering stakeholders beyond shareholders: consumers, suppliers, community and the environment. Each year certified B Corporations get a score on their performance. Being a B Corporation is not legally binding like a PBC (a company can choose to stop being a B Corporation without legal ramifications).

My guest today is Yancey Strickler (@ystrickler). Yancey is the co-founder and former CEO of Kickstarter. He's also the author of This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World. Strickler's book transformed my thinking. He helped me view decisions from a values perspective rather than solely a financial one. Yancey and I discussed the origins of Kickstarter, how benefit corporations operate, his values system called Bentoism, the 30 Year Theory of change, and much more. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

You, friend, are productive. You work at all hours of the day and well into the night. Thank goodness for the email app on your phone that allows you to check in and schedule meetings and book conference rooms and passive-aggressively forward whenever you need to. Even Facebook has entered the "be social at work" vertical, for "companies who get things done." You and your friends and your teammates are building, building, building enterprises that must disrupt and must multiply and – most important of all – grow. It's exciting and it's exhausting. The catch: there might not be any more resources to exhaust. On this election-season edition of Note to Self, author Douglas Rushkoff ("Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus") joins Manoush to pose a big, hairy question: what does all of this new technology, wealth, and productivity have to do with serious income inequality? What are the larger social implications of an economy built on venture capital? Why has all of this "growth" made us feel less financially secure?  More information about some of the companies mentioned in this episode: Juno, a driver-owned competitor to Uber. (FastCompany) IndieBound, a community of independent bookstores. WinCo, an employee-owned grocery store often compared to Walmart. (Time) Kickstarter's CEO, Yancey Strickler, made the decision to become a public benefit corporation (PBC) to mitigate obligations to shareholders. (The Guardian) If you're still weighing your politics on this, our friends at Planet Money made this useful chart with economists' insights into each candidate's economic proposals. If you're interested in more of the mechanisms of tech-world economics, you might also enjoy our past episodes on the attention economy, the burgeoning field of user experience, and shaking up your social media-enabled echo chamber.

Kickstarter has crowdfunded more than $1 billion worth of projects in five years but CEO Yancey Strickler says it's just getting started.

Yancey Strickler, one of the co-founders of Kickstarter, began his working life in journalism in 2000, and managed to make a living as a freelance writer during one of the most difficult times to ply that trade. A few years later, he joined eMusic, where he rose to editor in chief and started an in-house record label to give bands an easier way to get an album out. He began working on Kickstarter long before its April 2009 debut, and remains as excited about its potential to change artists' and creators' lives today as he was before its launch.
