Why Sam Altman Spent $100M on 10,000 Viewers

from The Colin and Samir Show · host Colin and Samir

OpenAI just dropped $100M+ to buy a tech podcast that's only been around for 16 months. On the surface, it makes no sense. But when you look closer, this deal tells you everything about where media, marketing, and the creator economy are headed. We break down why Sam Altman called TPBN's founders "genius marketers," why storytelling is becoming the most valuable skill in tech, why live content is having a massive moment, and what this means if you're a creator building something right now.
