Want to make a living online without being tied to platforms? Jack Conte and Patreon are trying to help you with that.
This is the first of our CEO interview series, where our CEO sits down with others to talk about the practicalities of running a business in the creator economy.
The thing that's changed the most is the web has increasingly put, I think, negative pressure on artistry and boldly being yourself. It's hard to do that now. It's so much pressure. And I think that has sort of been antithetical to what it means to be a true artist. And so I've just found myself using the term artist more and art more over the last year or two, because I want to remind myself of why I got into this in the first place as a creative person.
Jack Conte is the CEO of Patreon, and half of the bands Pomplamoose and Scary Pockets.
