Hello, and welcome to Making Media. Today, Matt and I are talking with Dan Shipper, the Co-Founder and CEO of Every. Every started at the beginning of the pandemic as a bundle of business newsletters written by different authors. Writing is still at the heart of the business, but the model has shifted focus a little. Today, Dan and his team send a daily newsletter in the form of an assay on technology, productivity or AI, but they've also built adjacent business lines and have even incubated a startup that they spun out last year called Lex.
Matt and I spent a bunch of time talking through the evolution of Every's business, which really gets to the essence of what's both so great and so challenging about media companies generally. We also talk in detail to Dan about his entrepreneurial spirit that started way back in fifth grade, and how he's become laser-focused on AI recently launching a great podcast on the subject and ChatGPT specifically. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Dan. Check out Every if you haven't already and stick around at the end for our customary debrief.
