Zack Honarvar on Why Creators Are Replacing Hollywood Gatekeepers

What happens when artists stop waiting for Hollywood to pick them? I sit down with creator-economy entrepreneur Zack Honarvar to talk about how the entertainment industry is changing, why creators have more power than ever, and what artists need to understand about building an audience in the new Hollywood. In this episode, Zack Honarvar and I talk about: - the creator economy and the decline of traditional Hollywood gatekeepers - the difference between creators and celebrities—and why prestige still matters - why actors, musicians, and artists need to learn how to command attention - using social media to create your own opportunities instead of waiting to be discovered - why the artists who learn to love promotion will have an unfair advantage Zack also shares his perspective on YouTube creators moving into traditional entertainment, Netflix licensing creator content, building businesses around your creative work, and why publicly claiming your biggest career goals can actually help you achieve them.
