Leaving Mainstream Media & Going Independent | Phil Rosen on Persistence Over Talent

from Failing Up · host Claire

I sat down with Phil Rosen, founder of Opening Bell Daily, a leading financial newslettter for a conversation about persistence, media, and how to stand out in a noisy world.Phil spent years inside the mainstream newsroom before building one of the fastest-growing independent finance newsletters. We talked about what journalism taught him about power, the internet as a free market of ideas, and why showing up longer than everyone else might be the real key to success.We also cover:— Why in-person work is underrated— What Gen Z gets unfairly criticized for— How tech is changing the way we think and communicate— The difference between covering the Trump vs. Biden administrations— Why objectivity in media is more critical than everFollow Us On IG: https://www.instagram.com/failinguppp/?hl=enListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3KMsmkqvycGgoXZDjoM6Py?si=6e40e75d54374c08Listen On Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/failing-up/id1771458449TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Welcome Phil Rosen To Failing Up!1:00 - Success is persistence - just show up longer2:30 - The internet Is the free market ideas6:00 - What Phil learned in journalism9:00 - Enthusiasm can take you very far in life personally and professionally12:00 - In person work is the best for your career14:00 - What people have wrong about Gen-Z19:00 - The pros and cons of technology24:00 - The difference between the Biden and Trump Administration reporting32:00 - the downfall of mainstream media and how to remain objective40:00 - Thanks Phil For Joining!
