It was an absolute honor to have Yancey Strickler on this brilliant episode of NewForum, filled with many insights about the evolution of the Creator Economy.
Yancey is a Writer, and Co-Founder of Metalabel, a growing universe of knowledge, resources, and tools that inspire creative collaboration, cooperation, and mutual support.
He is also the Co-Founder of Kickstarter and The Creative Independent, a resource of emotional and practical guidance for creatives and published by Kickstarter.
We dived into a conversation about what it means to be Creating in multiplayer mode, escaping Creator Economy, and the potential of online communities to make a significance in the 21st century. He also talked about the vision and mission of Metalabel and why it could be better structured over DAO when it comes to efficiency, effectiveness when it comes to execution, and making culture.
Yancey is originally a Writer, and his first career was as a Music Journalist reviewing records for Pitchfork, Spin Magazine, and The Village Voice.
He started a record label back in the day and made a new friendship in that process that turned into the creation of Kickstarter.
"I'm one of the three Founders of Kickstarter; we pioneered and introduced crowdfunding to the world, and I then spent twelve years of my life dedicated to Kickstarter; the last four of those as CEO and with Kickstarter. We were inspired to allow creators to fund projects without a middleman's approval, letting them go directly to the public; let them set their vision. It's now six and a half-billion dollars, I think that has moved through Kickstarter to creative projects in the last twelve years, so huge volume and close to 200,000 projects, I think, have been made through the site to date..."- Yancey
In 2017 Yancey stepped down as CEO of Kickstarter, and he spent a couple of years working on a book called This Could Be Our Future.
The book is a critique of the financialization of society, what they were inspired by with Kickstarter, trying to create a mission-driven company, and taking responsibility to its broader community very seriously.
Hear more about the Bentoisem, a philosophy his book introduces, a way of seeing life, making choices, using time, and structuring your organization in a more pluralist sense of value in his full interview.
He explained that Metalabel is creating tools and infrastructure that allows groups of people with shared creative interests to squad up to create a simple structure by which they operate and start dropping releases, which could be a new record. It could be a video, a protest, or an online gallery opening; it could be anything, but they are providing tools and trying to normalize a new action.
" I think that a DAO is part of a long line of things, but I don't know that I believe that in the long run, they're going to be that important. I think the maturation of online communities is super important and will shape the 21st century in the way that maybe the 20th century was shaped by companies or governments..."- Yancey
A Dao says are you interested in this coming on this discord; you can be in a social club and do what you choose to do together. It does not matter what you decide to do together, what happens. He continued to explain that Metalables intend to release culture. It is to make work. It is an artistic practice.
Yancey dived very deep into the DAO topic explaining the pros and cons and why a structure like Metalabel is more efficient for making culture.
We also talked about the potential of a decentralized Creator Economy to impact the future of work and his suggestion on navigating the Creative Economy. The episode concluded with Yancey discussing the creative value and digitalization. He discussed his thoughts about the current hype around NFTs and if we should be worried that the potential to make a ton of money would attract all kinds of people who may not be as invested in the health of the evolving emerging ecosystem called Web3.
