The Sunday Digest

Happy Sunday!

Last week, we mentioned our move from Slack to Discord. It was fresh back then, a true dose of warm connectivity in these dreary months. It's still all those things—but we're also getting to do some serious talking across our channels. Everyone at the Every family spent the week chatting about the things they cared about, and our news and collected reading sections are—as always—a reflection of our span of passions and interests.

Our new virtual office space is also the topic of one of the pieces we shared with you over the past few days! Along with that new episode of Talk Therapy, we hope you'll take a look at a deep dive on David Dobrik's Dispo (there’s some weekend alliteration for you), a trusty Means of Creation roundup and conversation, and plenty more. Enjoy!

Ever find yourself fascinated with the surprisingly (or...unsurprisingly) long list of celebrity software startups? Nathan certainly has—especially the recent (re)launch of David Dobrik's Dispo, a photography app that mimics a disposable camera. Delivering a short history of other apps with famous founders that didn't succeed, he lays out the case for why this one might be different. In short, Dispo poses solutions to a few key problems we've all come to face in the era of phone photography. Nathan's argument is concise, organized and very fun to read. Plus, you'll get reminded of some truly remarkable, now-extinct celebrity software.

Weekly News Roundup: LinkedIn Is Launching A Creator Program

in Means of Creation

This week in the passion economy, big companies and investing giants both made strides to work with and for creators. As LinkedIn formalizes plans to support its many influencers, Mark Cuban is readying his Clubhouse competitor geared toward creators. But perhaps the most fascinating piece of creator news this week is the announcement that influencers can now join the Screen Actors Guild. There is, of course, more, as the creator space is an ever-crowded one. As always, Li and Nathan are here to help you make sense of it.

#12: Restful Reading

The Long Conversation with Rachel Jepsen

Shortly after recording last week’s TLC, Dan embarked on a well-earned break—so Rachel thought it only right that she, Nathan and Taylor Majewski offer him a few reading recs. But as any regular listener can tell you, the topic the gang begins on is rarely the one they end with. Listen through for an insightful, introspective discussion of genre, comfort, and why it’s important to diversify our reading diet.

Talk Therapy with Dan Shipper and Nathan Baschez
