Keynote - Linus Tech Tips - How to Build a Content Creation Business that Lasts

In an industry where burnout is rampant and revenue sources can disappear at the speed of a poorly-worded tweet, long-term planning can sometimes feel pointless. However, I believe that with a simple “ABCD approach” to creation and management, any creator can create a business and a brand that is bigger than themselves. What will be discussed: 1) Building an A-Team, 2) Adopting a Business Mindset, 3) Taking on Calculated Risks, and 4) Mistakes are Okay. Yes, Linus is aware that an O is not a D, but his point stands that whatever happens, all that matters is finding a path forward.
