Inside John Green's Film Premiere May 02, 2024

Show notes

Creator, author, and Vlogbrother John Green first broke out into the mainstream spotlight when the film adaptation of his best-selling book 'The Fault in Our Stars' grossed over $300 million at the box office in 2014.

Ten years (and two more adaptations) later, John's 'Turtles All the Ways Down' is releasing on Max. Ahead of the in-person premiere, Publish Press writer Nate Graber-Lipperman sat down with John to hear his thoughts on the "collision course" of YouTube and Hollywood—and how growing online communities too large can paradoxically make their impact lesser.

Plus: Stick to the end for Colin and Samir's thoughts on what creators can learn from John about how to make real impact in viewers' lives.

How to develop discipline: A conversation with Ryan Holiday (2022) Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

Author and philosopher Ryan Holiday writes about Stoicism, which is the belief that we can’t control or rely on external events but we can control our ourselves and how we react to them.

Ryan is a prolific creator – he’s written 12 books in ten years, and he writes two daily emails and hosts a daily podcast. But he’s not a YouTube creator, and he thinks totally differently than we do. That’s why we found this conversation so valuable.
