Each episode, you'll hear multiple experienced creators and experts dig into a different side of what being visible online actually looks like: platform risk, financial instability, AI, physical safety, mental health, audience dynamics, all of it. There's a lot of upside, and there's a lot that can go wrong, and we don't talk about the latter nearly enough. Think of it as listening in on a private creator mastermind where nobody's performing and nothing's off the table. Because the real conversations are happening behind closed doors - over coffee, or in groups you don't even know exist. And we need to put that stuff on the mic because that's the truth of this business… it's wonderful and also really hard.Hosted by Susan Boles, who spent years in federal law enforcement and security before becoming a creator herself. After a decade of watching creators build with zero infrastructure for protection, she started Unpublic, a creator safety and privacy service built for people whose livelihood depends on showing up online.The risks are real. So are the rewards. And it's time we actually talked about both. That's the paradox every creator feels… building relationships with an audience while navigating the real risks that come with being visible online.So, pull up a chair, grab your coffee, and turn off the ring light because we're not performing here. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vZDzboi6on_2gZvUaTI3LdwOYbef7YlBwqD0uqLk8yE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82Y2Q4/NmFhY2JkOGZkMzBl/YjViMWQ0ODFlNDE2/NjE1ZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
