My co-founder, @thevibefounder and I hosted another creator dinner for @joinottodotcom in NYC.

Nights like this do not happen without great partners. The evening was a celebration of the launch of our new partnership with Winslow, and we wanted to bring our New York City creators together to celebrate with us. With Winslow, we are now able to provide enhanced payroll and HR capabilities to our creators’ businesses globally.

I always leave these nights with more than I brought. You can read everything written about the creator economy and still not know what it takes to run one of these businesses by yourself. You only hear it sitting across from someone doing this full-time, making real money. What’s working, what’s quietly breaking, and where the hours are really going.

Glad we got to host a few of our own clients at that table, next to creators we were meeting for the first time. Models, content creators, operators, builders, founders. Different lanes, same problem. Most of that table is a business of one, doing the creative work and running the company at the same time. Making that lighter is the thing we can’t stop thinking about.

We’re definitely doing a few more of these before the end of the year. If you or someone you know wants to be invited to the next one, let us know!

@joinottodotcom hosted its first dinner series in NYC, bringing together athletes, creators, and founders in partnership with our friends over at @thecourtsidetennis .

This all started with a coffee catch-up with @noahlwolfe a few weeks back, when we realized we were surrounded by so many talented athletes and creators who had never actually met. So we figured, why not create the space to bring everyone together and see what happens.

We’ll be hosting more of these dinners in the coming weeks, and we’d love to keep building them alongside the community, partners, and creators who make them worth doing.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible 🙏🏽

It was a pleasure to come back to @northeastern this week to participate in a panel at @presidentaoun ‘s Leadership Retreat. Five of us, five very different companies, answering what actually prepared us to build and how we think about positioning students’ educational and experiential journeys to succeed in the age of AI.

Lots of really exciting things ahead for Northeastern and looking forward to playing a part in that journey.

Your money should work as hard and as smart as you do. I prioritize protecting my time, health, and freedom. 💰

1. Refuse to not use my money for convenience and time savings. I’ll call the @uber instead of circling for parking. I’ll upgrade to @delta one on long-haul flights so I land rested and can work comfortably. Time is the only resource you can’t earn back.

2. Refuse to not have an emergency fund. 3–6 months of expenses, liquid and untouched.

3. Refuse to ignore retirement contributions. Max out that Roth IRA or 401(k). As a high earner you can also use a backdoor IRA.

4. Refuse to not invest in myself. Degrees, Certifications, coaching, therapy, and conferences aren’t expenses, they’re infrastructure. The ROI on sharpening my skills will always outperform any index fund.

5. Refuse to operate without separating personal and business finances. Separate accounts, separate cards, every transaction routed correctly. It protects my assets and shows whether a business venture is profitable or just keeping me unnecessarily busy.

6. Refuse to neglect disability and liability insurance. In California, SDI can cover mental health conditions too including burnout, anxiety, depression. A funded reset to recenter, refocus, and reenergize. Every state is different so check what yours offers.

7. Refuse to work without a tax strategy. Having a good CPA like @joinottodotcom who specializes in small business owners saves me tens of thousands a year.

8. Refuse to not pay for experiences that expand my perspective. Travel, retreats, dinners with people smarter than me. The ideas that change your trajectory rarely come from sitting at a desk.

9. Refuse to not build multiple income streams.

10. Refuse to not outsource what drains me. Bookkeeping, admin, cleaning, laundry! If it costs me energy that could go toward revenue or rest, I’m paying someone else. Protecting my bandwidth is part of protecting my businesses

I think people tell themselves content creators have no savings to make themselves feel better but most are smart with the money their making. Use @joinottodotcom if you’re looking for tax and investment help as an entrepreneur

Let’s be real — tax season is coming, and most creators & entrepreneurs aren’t ready. 
Lost receipts. Random screenshots. Guessing what’s deductible. Stress you don’t need.

That changes now.

We’re officially partnering with Otto to support creators with something just as important as content and community: financial clarity.

Through this partnership, qualified DBC creators get FREE bookkeeping for 12 months (a $1,000+ value).

Here’s what you get: • A dedicated bookkeeper who understands creator businesses • Unlimited bank + card connections • Ongoing transaction categorization • A year-end income statement, tax-ready • A complimentary business + growth consultation

This is about walking into 2026 organized, confident, and in control — not overwhelmed by admin.

CTA: 
Comment “READY” and we’ll DM you how to unlock the DBC × Otto offer. 🚨

P.S. Even if your books are a mess — start anyway. Otto cleans it up.

Dream bigger. Build smarter. 
Dream Now.
