Hey there everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. My guest today, it's a good one. David Sherry. He's the founder of

Death to Stock, a membership community that delivers personal, curated non-stock photos and video.

On the podcast, we talk about building your audience slow and with integrity.

I try to convince David that he's a minimalist and how experimenting will lead to your

creative and personal breakthroughs.

Stick around after the show to learn about how you can contribute to keep it advertisement free

and get my secret vlogs and AMA podcast episodes.

I find it to be very compelling is like how do you grow an audience, but not only that,

because like some people have the experience of a viral event taking off their career in terms of growing an audience, but then you don't have a say over who those people are.

And maybe that thing that made you viral wasn't the best representation of what you stand for.

And now you have this audience of people that maybe doesn't actually connect or resonate with your ideas.

Yeah.

Fascinating.

I sort of feel like it's the opposite for me.

And like what I personally want is the opposite.

I've been joking about this thing, which is like a slow growth hacker, which is somebody

who like takes their time and like really tries to build as tight knit of a community as possible

through not necessarily just going viral.

And I think it's like obviously it's very popular right now to try to get a viral hit.

So you maybe are trying to be

salacious or something like that in the content you create. And I feel like people are sort of

wanting more depth than that. And like people are smart and they want to talk about interesting topics.
