🧪 CLIENT WINS FROM THE LAB

"One month after joining the lab, I pulled in $21,000. So I know that sounds too good to be true. That's probably not what I'm going to do next month, because I did do something a little special. But I can say from my one month alone joining The Lab, it has been absolutely be worth it."
— Claire Bartholic, The Planted Runner

"I'm building out a little SaaS project, and Jay had some great additions for the design and also for how to how to sell it. So I implemented one of or both of those both of those additions. One of them brought me $3,000 in about a week, which was awesome."
— Jake Thomas, Creator Hooks

"So I have been in The Lan for about 45 days at this point, and while it did take me seven months to make the decision to join, I can honestly say that at this point of me being there, I have already made my money back."
— Gannon Meyer, ManyChat expert

👋 Hey, I’m Jay!

Eight years ago, I left the startup world to build something of my own. I didn’t believe I was creative, so I started writing a newsletter just to prove myself wrong.

Fast forward to today, and that newsletter has become Creator Science, a multi-million dollar business and one of the most trusted voices in the creator economy. 

Creator Science teaches creators a reliable path to growth through observation, experimentation, and iteration. My work spans a newsletter, podcast, membership, and YouTube channel, helping thousands of creators build sustainable businesses.

In 2023, I was named “Content Entrepreneur of the Year” by The Tilt, and the Creator Science podcast earned a 2022 Signal Award.

I’ve personally invested in 10+ startups—including Kit, RightMessage, Maven, Carry, Kick, Gumroad, and Beast Industries. Through the Creator Science Syndicate, I invite my audience to invest alongside me, supporting platforms that help creators succeed (and giving them a share in the upside).

Before Creator Science, I built and sold a community, Unreal Collective, to Pat Flynn and Smart Passive Income, where I designed their membership and community programs.

The more I've studied creators, the more I've come to one major realization:

Today's top creators aren't just artists. They're scientists.

The creators you look up to don't leave growth to chance. They are constantly forming new hypotheses, testing things, and changing direction based on the results. Not only that, but they share their results with their creator friends!

Creator Science is your new creator friend.

We do the work of compiling shared knowledge here as well as acquiring NEW knowledge. That may be through interviews, first-hand experience running this business, or off-the-record conversations.

Creator Science's content, courses, and membership community are built to help you shorten the learning curve to becoming a professional creator.

I've gotta be honest with you, and you're probably not gonna like it:

The idea that you'll get this creator thing figured out in year one is a pipe dream.

I'm in year eight. I'm constantly realizing where I've been ignorant, overconfident, and lucky. It just takes time.

YouTube (and other discovery platforms) can provide glimpses of success quickly—and that's good! But a successful video doesn't give you a sustainable creator business. It's a signal of progress.

Like Samir Chaudry shares here, you're better off ASSUMING it will take 3-5 years so that you don't set yourself up for disappointment. If you get there sooner (wherever "there" is in your mind) that's amazing! But for most of us, it took years.

It probably will take years for you too.

Yesterday was special.

Entrepreneurs. Community leaders. State partners. A room full of people who care about building something real in Kokomo.

We came together to celebrate the official partnership launch between the Hoosier Heartland ISBDC and IU Kokomo inside the new Innovation Hall. 

This is the start of something big for our region.

Huge thank you to GKEDA and the entire team – Lori, Madison, Courtney, and everyone who helped make the event happen. And a big thank you to the IUK leadership and staff for opening their doors and collaborating to support entrepreneurs in our community!

Proud of this moment. 

Excited for what is coming next…
