When content creator Jerry Won sat down with Vice President Kamala Harris on his “Dear Asian Americans” podcast in November 2022, the moment felt surreal.

“I was blown away,” Won told Insider. “To be sitting with the Vice President of the United States and sharing stories that were so resonant and relevant to me and our community was so special.”

Won launched his podcast in 2020 to elevate the Asian creator community and regularly interviews Asian and Asian American creators, entrepreneurs and creatives.

He is one of the many voices who have emerged as authorities on the creator economy.

Some, like Avi Gandhi, who writes the Creator Logic newsletter that highlights data and insights straight from creators, and is Patreon’s former head of partnerships, have worked with creators for years and accumulated massive audiences for their deep insights and industry connections.

Others, like TikTok and Instagram influencer Vivian Tu, who founded the personal finance brand Your Rich BFF to help other creators accumulate wealth, are still building their online communities.
