What do you do when the world insists AI is the future of every single industry, even though they’re clearly wrong? Ed can help you with that.

Ed Zitron is the CEO of national Media Relations and Public Relations company EZPR, and hosts the Better Offline Podcast, named one of the Best Podcasts of 2024 by Esquire, Vulture and The Information. His upcoming book with Penguin Random House is called "Why Everything Stopped Working," to be released late in 2026.

“This is what I believe in, this is my life, and I want it to be good. I want it to sound good, I want it to matter,... not because I’m doing something important in some vague way, but because the subject matter is well-researched, I care about it, and I really do know it.”

“I’m pissed off about what’s happening in tech. I’m pissed off that there are many tech podcasts that don’t seem to take any of the problems seriously, and, indeed, seem to find the fanfiction more interesting than reality.”

Hank Green has retired from being a digital media CEO. What happens now?

This is the second of our CEO interview series, where our CEO sits down with others to talk about the practicalities of running a business in the creator economy.

“I'm in the process right now in my life… of trying to figure out how to not be a decider, and have everyone agree with me that I'm not a decider. Instead [I want to] be an engine, a cheerleader. I want to be fuel in your tank that nobody else has access to because I believe in what we're doing.”

Hank Green is a digital media entrepreneur, science communicator, and longtime online video creator. He founded Complexly, Subbable, VidCon, DFTBA, and The Internet Creators Guild, and continues to host the video series Crash Course and SciShow. He’s a New York Times best-selling author of two novels, and lives with his family in Montana.

How do you advocate for your expertise as a historian in the world of academia? Claire can help you with that.

"The problem [in academia] is that there are no jobs. There are far too many people available for the few jobs that exist... And having a social media presence has given me, thankfully, the option to sort of see my way out of that and look at forging a path in history and being a scholar that isn't exclusive to working in academia."

Dr. Claire Aubin is a public historian and writer. She’s currently working on the book The Homeland, Nazi Perpetrators as Immigrants to America for Cambridge University Press. Find her online at Bluesky, Twitter, and her Substack Culture Bound
