Recorded live at Shack15 in San Francisco, this episode of Creator Economy Live brings the heat with our very special guest, Marina Mogilko — co-founder of LinguaTrip.com and the creator behind Linguamarina and Silicon Valley Girl, with a combined digital audience of over 17 million.

Hosts Keith Bendes and Brendan Gahan catch up on the latest news in the creator space — including the looming TikTok ban, new YouTube Shorts updates, and why Gen Z is leaning harder into creator content than traditional media.

Then we dive deep with Marina:
- How she built not one, but three 7-figure YouTube channels
- Her journey from immigrant entrepreneur to edtech founder
- Why Slow Ventures bet on her—and how she's now betting on herself again with a new snack brand for kids
- Plus, her current revenue mix and what she sees coming next

Stick around for our Creator & Brand of the Week segment, shoutouts to Will Smith's creator collab marathon and Saratoga Water’s viral moment, and a nod to political creator-turned-candidate Kat Abughazaleh.
