This morning, I had a Nike ad in my newsletter that goes out to 4,000 people across 50 countries. (See the image 👇) Featured in this edition: Mbappé's new line with Nike. This is a perfect example of the creator economy in action. Instead of big brands spending solely on traditional media, they're now investing in creator platforms for brand promotions. Through platforms like beehiiv, creators like me can offer ad slots to reach engaged audiences. The money once funneled into traditional campaigns now flows to thousands of creators globally. Creator platforms such as newsletter platforms (~beehiiv), video platforms (~YouTube), social platforms (~ TikTok), and so on, are very much part of the large scale distribution to creators. Of course, it doesn't mean creators are going to get paid at the scale of how tradition agencies for distribution, and it's the same pie divided among way more independent creators. But it's a win-win for everyone. Everyone has the capability to get involved in the distribution chain. Everyone has the capability to get involved with multiple brands. It's a new era, and we're well and truly in the creator economy! #CreatorEconomy #Distribution #FreshSalmon #VivekNanda

“𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗿.." or triage tool. That idea is outdated according to our Co-founder and COO Karin Andrea Stephan A. Stephan. Here's how: 📌 Meaningful conversations: Earkick’s AI goes beyond automation to engage in deep, hyper-personalized interactions, guiding users through emotional pain and helping them build lasting coping strategies. 📌 A sense of connection: Users consistently say they feel “heard” and that Earkick’s AI “Panda” understands them better than many human therapists they’ve encountered. 📌 Proven efficacy: Recent studies show Earkick users experience a 57% reduction in anxiety and major mood improvements after just a few weeks of continuous usage. 📌 True empathy, not quick fixes: Earkick supports users through grief, anxiety, and long-term growth goals, providing care that is as empathetic as it is effective. “𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀.” What do you think? Can AI truly offer deeper emotional support, or are we just scratching the surface?

This Panda 🐼 is your AI-sidekick for mental wellbeing. Look there is a lot of AI noise (yup - you heard me, half-baked, not fully thought through solutions, sometimes just simple automations stamped as AI..you get the point). Especially in healthcare. ⚠️☠️🚨 But, there is one company that I'm putting my weights behind... And that's Earkick. From their mission to vision From their approach to execution From their customer centricity to global view of the problem.. All stands out! The day I had their COO and Co-founder Karin Andrea Stephan on my podcast The Uprising Show, I knew they are a special company. With more intent, and real focus on solving the problem. Since then they have been on my radar. Their CEO Herbert Bay recently shared that Earkick reached to #180 on the US App Store in the Health and Fitness category. In less than 4 months they have doubled their paying customers. And to be honest, I'm not surprised. After several conversations with Karin, I'm more bullish than ever on where Earkick is headed. Very recently, I had the opportunity to put Karin on the hot seat to discuss her thoughts on the criticism of AI in healthcare, and its capabilities to support people in their wellness journeys. We are out with the full conversation on TopHealth #MentalHealth Stream, please see the link in the first comment 👇👇 You don't want to miss out on a very thoughtful and unbiased conversation.

𝗡𝗼, 𝗔𝗜 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂...  . . . . . but it can still support you, guide you, and help you no matter how small the problem at hand. Mental health isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey, and it’s certainly not limited to a therapist’s office. AI extends the reach of care, empowering us to take charge of our well-being 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀. It’s not about replacing humans—it’s about making support accessible and affordable. Anywhere, anytime. So no, AI won’t hug you. But how about just saving your day? Or your relationship? Even your life? #AItherapists #AIinmentalhealth #AIcompanions #Earkick

AI Won’t Hug You, But It Might Save Your Life. ❤️🩹 Yes, you read that right! A few days ago, I bumped into a post that had a very lopsided view about AI in Mental Health, to my surprise, it was projecting to look at Mental Health as a zero-sum game between therapists and tech (AI). It, obviously, didn't sit right with me. I reached out to Karin Andrea Stephan, who is COO and Co-Founder at Earkick, and also leading the charge of #MentalHealth Stream on TopHealth, with a proposal to discuss this topic in depth. Not only Karin provided a profound point of view on the topic, but drew attention to several key talking points in a constructive manner. Tomorrow I will be posting when the full conversation is released, but now, here is the clips from the conversation! #MentalHealth #TopHealth #HealthcareMediaNetwork #AI #HealthTech #Healthcare #KarinStephan #Earkick #VivekNanda

When I heard about the ruling banning TikTok, I had flashbacks of my marketing strategy class at school about the importance of Owned Media over Rented Media. The potential TikTok ban is a stark reminder of the risks businesses face when relying on rented media platforms (~ social media platforms such as: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube etc.). With one regulatory decision or algorithm change - your entire audiences and content strategies could vanish. It’s a scenario no brand wants to face — but one that’s avoidable. This moment highlights why Owned Media is more important than ever. Platforms like podcasts allow you to build a loyal, engaged audience that belongs to you — not an algorithm. With Owned Media, you’re in control, creating a direct line to your audience that can’t be disrupted by external forces. As a business, you MUST focus on building an Owned Audience, and quite frankly that comes down to owning your audience and building your email list. Long ago, I coined the term for my Owned Audience Framework: SLR. 1. Stability: Owned media ensures your reach isn’t at the mercy of platform changes or bans. 2. Loyalty: Podcasts foster deeper engagement with audiences through consistent, authentic content. 3. ROI: Direct communication drives meaningful relationships that translate into measurable business results. Irrespective of our engagement together, if there is one thing I want to keep in front and center of your marketing strategy then it is - the focus on building Owned Audience. Remember, you can't cheat your way to building an audience. However, you can possibly cheat to build a social media following. And yes, there is a difference between the two. As a brand, focus on building trust. The rest will fall in place! - Vivek Nanda Founder at TopHealth
