Building a better world for Creators ft Joe Alb...
<p>This week on the Colin and Samir Podcast we’re joined by Joe Albanese - Joe is the founder and CEO of Stir, a company that’s building tools &amp; software that help creators run their businesses. Joe and his team have been making quite a few headlines this year to name a few - they’ve raised $4M dollars in funding for this project from firms like Ludlow ventures and creators like Casey Neistat, Joe was recently named to Forbes 30 under 30 list, and they’ve been trending multiple times for releasing a number of one-off “drops” such as <a href="http://presubscribe.me/">Presubscribe.me</a> which helps creators understand how many people who pay for their content, or OnlyTweets which creates a paywall protected twitter account for creators.</p><p>On this episode we talk to Joe about his journey into the creator world, how we went from the founding team at YikYak to the product team at Facebook and then eventually why he took the jump to leave his stable job and pursue building Stir.</p>
