Jeff Dornik, CEO of Pickax, is joined by Trevor Shipman, aka Uncle Pudge, Pickax Director of Creator Success, for a livestream packed with creator updates, platform momentum, and a couple of announcements we are very much not casually dropping in a random post like some algorithm-dependent gremlins.

We’re talking about the next phase of Pickax: faster ways to create, better ways to connect, and a bigger vision for creators who are done building value for platforms that treat them like disposable content confetti.

One announcement opens a new lane for creators who move fast.

The other is about rewarding the people helping build real activity, real audience, and real community.

That is all we are saying for now. Extremely mysterious. Very professional. Probably.

Join us live for Pick the Ax Ep. 1 as Jeff and Uncle Pudge pull back the curtain on what is coming next for creators on Pickax.

Creators get news.

The home base gets stronger.

Big Tech can cope privately.
