Summary

Jon Steinberg is the President of Altice News & Advertising. He previously founded Cheddar, which was eventually acquired by Altice. Jon also served as the President and COO of BuzzFeed in the early 2010s. In this conversation, we discussed the Cheddar story, what Jon is building at Altice, and what his thoughts are on live television, newsletter, podcasts, e-commerce, and the rise of creators. ======================= Choice is a new self-directed IRA product that I'm really excited about. If you are listening to this, you are likely part of the 7.1 million bitcoin owners who have retirement accounts with dollars in them, but not bitcoin. I was in that situation too. Now you can actually buy real Bitcoin in your retirement account. I'm talking about owning your private keys and using tax-advantaged dollars to do it too. Absolute game changer. https://www.retirewithchoice.com/pomp ======================= Pomp writes a daily letter to over 80,000 investors about business, technology, and finance.
