The World Motivation
Medium is like the Instagram of the corporate world. It's the layer that we want everybody to see, but not actually how it is. It feels like content marketing.

Medium is like the Instagram of the corporate world. It's the layer that we want everybody to see, but not actually how it is. It feels like content marketing.
The problem that we're solving is: You're a creator, and you're reaching thousands of people, or hundreds of thousands or millions of people, and you're not getting paid, you don't have a monthly paycheck. What we're not is a distribution platform. We're not a place to find brand new fans if you don't have an audience yet for your work.
No one talks about the epic failures that we all have.
Artists deserve more than a check cut in half eight times by publishers.
Fame and all that type of stuff is inevitable, but I'm very content having a good band with no negativity, and everyone is on the same page.
I was always interested in doing it, but I was so content with my life that I didn't really go after it.
I worry that if I enjoy something - like the songs on 'Some Nights' are about wondering about who you are. I'm never quite sure and I'd hate to feel sort of content and get a good sense of who I am because if I know one thing, that's not me. I don't mind not necessarily being happy about it. And that's fine.
This kid came up with Napster, and before that, none of us thought of content protection.
There's a difference between what people will consume and what they will pay for.
In general, we're a social network. I prefer that because I think it is focused on the people part of it - as opposed to some people call it social media, which I think focuses more on the content.
