Every creator has a journey (an arc, really)—but the ones who build true wealth know how to turn content into a company. In this session, I’ll walk you through the lifecycle of a creator business, from those first brand deals to structuring for a multi-million-dollar exit. We’ll cover the legal foundations that keep you safe (LLCs, trademarks, contracts), the revenue streams that multiply your income, and the equity and IP strategies that position you as an owner—not just an influencer. Whether you’re aiming for seven figures or a strategic acquisition, you’ll leave with a roadmap for scaling, protecting, and cashing in on your creative empire.
