Jay Clouse
Hosted by Jay Clouse
A podcast and video series breaking down the business of being a creator, with a strong focus on building membership communities.
Creator Science is a hybrid show that alternates between two distinct formats: deep-dive interviews and live-streamed educational workshops. The interviews dissect the systems and strategies of successful creators and founders, while the solo episodes are often multi-day 'summits' where Clouse methodically teaches his own frameworks for building a creator business, with a heavy emphasis on memberships. He maintains a notably transparent style, often sharing his own company's P&L charts and business metrics to illustrate his points.
“The show's primary distinction is its blend of guest interviews with solo, highly-structured teaching webinars that function as lead generation for the host's paid products. Clouse's radical transparency—sharing his personal business revenue and P&L data on screen—also sets him apart from many peers in the creator economy space.”
