New Trends With Friends Episode: AI, Email Newsletters, and the Future of Content
With Tyler Denk (CEO of Beehiiv) and Ben Cahn (podcast host and trader)
Howard Lindzon
December 18, 2024
Good morning everyone,
Today’s episode of Trends with Friends is a good one. We're talking about the stuff that really matters—like why relying on platforms for your audience is a terrible idea (hello, “death by a thousand substacks”), and how email newsletters are making a big comeback.
Joining me are two brilliant guests: Tyler Denk (CEO of Beehiiv a fund 4 portfolio company) and Ben Cahn (podcast host and trader). We’re digging into the future of content, the rise of AI, and why owning your distribution is more important than ever.
We’re taking the next two weeks off. Enjoy the holidays and we’ll see you in the new year!
