In this episode, we talk to Brendan Alper. He is the co-founder of Everbloom, an investment platform that allows anyone to invest in creators. Since Everbloom was founded in 2020, they have helped some of the world's most talented creators grow their communities.
Brendan's journey from finance at Goldman Sachs to comedy writing, and eventually to entrepreneurship, positions him to understand the creative and business sides of the creator economy. He shares his transition from creating the dating app, Hater, to his appearance on Shark Tank, and finally his move to Stockholm to incubate Everbloom.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
