Gold House reposted this
<Prepares to get canceled for this> Thank you to the The Elevate Prize Foundation for having Gold House at your seminal Summit on the heels of our Creative Equity Fund's success in investing in leading indie films, indie media companies, and next-new creators with purpose. Also, FTR, I qualified that I love and grew up on Sesame Street; believe in local journalism’s preservation (but under a public good business model); and that all of this is a balance—but needs resequencing! But editors be editing 🦸🏻
Impact content should be delicious AND nutritious! Wise words by Bing Chen at our #MakeGoodFamous Summit in May that we can't stop thinking about. Bing and his team at Gold House are at the forefront of this — building mainstream representation for the AAPI community, and reshaping public opinions through storytelling. His advice for the rest of us: remember that humans like “to eat candy before they take their vitamins.”
Appreciate the anecdote, and wisdom! Instant gratification is hard to keep in check.
Guess you can say this is “food for thought” 🤔 Super insightful and always appreciate the work that Gold House has done to back up some of my favorite artists!
I enjoyed this convo so much. I was in the audience like, 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
That's why I watch Adam Ruins Everything, Last Week Tonight, The Patriot Act, and The Daily Show instead of CNN. "Infotainment" over straight facts, please.
💯, it's the same with building spaces for civic engagement: delicious first and also nutritious!!
Impact content should be like Gummy bear vitamins
Agreed. Trademarking chocolate covered vitamins ASAP.
100%. You need to find the right balance — preserving artistic integrity while also making it commercially viable. Would be curious to hear others’ perspectives on what films or general IP have done this well. EEAAO comes to mind as one.
Delicious!
No cancellations, only elevations! (*hides from my own cheesiness)
