Mark Manson has been creating content for 16 years, which makes him one of the last people standing from the early internet.

Jun talks with Mark, author, podcast host, and founder, about what it actually takes to last, when the "suck" is worth pushing through, why "I am the niche" should be your mantra, and how chasing virality is a recipe for disaster.

Then it gets tactical: They get into how Mark surveys his audience, why equity and distribution are becoming the biggest plays in the creator industry, and how he uses AI to benefit his business (and where it's still useless).
