J.P. & Justin Alanis, StoryCo
How creators can earn better revenue through DAOs
In Episode #69, Ross is joined by J.P. and Justin Alanis, Co-CEOs of StoryCo.
J.P. Alanís is an experienced development executive. He previously co-created and led GOLF MEDIA, the direct-to-consumer media platform and production company founded by Tyler, The Creator. Justin Alanis is an experienced entrepreneur with a background in both technology and private equity.
Ross and the Alanis brothers dive into the crucial factors that determine the success of DAOs. They also reveal the harsh truth about how streaming giant Netflix is impacting creator revenue, and ponder if we'll ever witness the emergence of another indie film as groundbreaking as The Matrix.
Highlights
Creators don't get the upside of their creations anymore
We do believe in the role of a central creative person – the George Lucases of the world
With fan fiction, there's something to always go back to – that core canon
DAOs are going to have to build their own bespoke tooling to harness the energy of the community
Don't put yourself in a corner in terms of technology [you need to] be able to change course
Movies like [The Matrix] just don’t get made anyomore
