There’s been an infinite number of times I’ve spoken to people about how a career in comedy and building products are similar: a journey that involves so much iteration, craft, and attention to detail. And dealing with audiences day in and day out along with the market defining a hit of your work: how close can this get!
Which is why TikTok, Instagram Reels, and a lot of social media content are going high on humour, both for the content and the tech creators who are the faces behind. So what exactly can we learn from building a thriving business out of humour, content, and technology?
I can't contain my excitement—for I finally pulled in Alexis Gay (Creative Entrepreneur | Stand-up Comic | Podcaster) to sit down with me and discuss everything about creative entrepreneurship. For starters, we chatted about how to come past the inertia of kickstarting a business with reference to standup comedy and open-mics. Alexis' own experiences with 'being good at comedy' came from embracing very different forms of KPIs (the techie that she is).
