The key to becoming successful and famous is catching a cultural wave just as it’s getting started, riding it hard, then jumping to the next one. Easy, right?

On today’s episode, host Mandy McEwen sits down with her friend Matt Johnson—agency owner, podcaster, and author—to chat about surfing the waves of culture and technology. First up, they discuss Joe Rogan’s long stream of good luck (?) catching wave after cultural wave from stand-up comedy to sit-coms to reality TV to UFC to podcasting. If you’re someone who’s hoping to make a living—or become famous—on social media, you need to be aware of which waves are on their way out, and which ones you should be catching and riding next. It’s not as simple as jumping on that next wave though. Matt says you’ve got to take your talents, your personality, and your interests into careful consideration too.

Listen in to hear more about the next big thing in social media and how you can get in on it.
