Is TikTok Replacing the News? ft. Daniel Dana

This week, Matt is joined by creator, journalist, and Gen Me host Daniel Dana, who shares why he walked away from ABC News and Good Morning America to build a career on his own terms.They talk about Daniel’s surreal first interview with Vera Wang, learning by doing instead of waiting until you’re “ready,” the realities of becoming a creator, and why so many people feel stuck between a stable career and taking a leap.They also get into internet culture, the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama, growing up in Miami, constantly being mistaken for Hispanic, the weirdest trends Daniel has covered, and—somehow—his completely irrational fear of yogurt.Plus, they answer Scaries submissions about quitting your job without a plan, feeling embarrassed to post online, family members who don’t think content creation is a real career, and staying sane when TikTok makes the world feel like it’s ending.
