Zach Obront is co-founder of Scribe Media, a company he and his partner, Tucker Max, built into a category-creating business. From the beginning, Scribe was focused on giving authors the power to achieve creative freedom—the theme at the heart of The Burning Castle Podcast. And, if you check out the Scribe website, you’ll see it’s really succeeded.
Zach could have optimized this success, scaling Scribe and reaping the fruit of much hard labor. But instead, he climbed down the hill (to borrow a term from Chris Dixon), and is now in the midst of doing something few would expect the head of a book-related business to do: he’s taught himself to code web3 technologies, like blockchain, and is exploring the frontier of an uncharted technology.
That sounds daunting. And it is. But, as you’ll hear on the episode, the spirit of creativity and exploration that Zach brings to his radically different new endeavor makes what could be an enormously difficult lift into something that sounds…dare I say, fun?
Check out this episode and don’t forget to forward this email, or share it on your favorite attention-gobbling social media platform, so we can spread the good gospel of creative freedom.
