I recently spoke with @YouTube's Chief Product Officer @nealmohan to get his thoughts on the evolution of YouTube, the future of the creator economy, running a product development organization, and many other topics. Thank you for sharing your insights Neal!
In YouTube's early days, some thought it wouldn't amount to much. Millions of creators had other ideas. That, + smart biz decisions turned the OG of #UGC into what it is today. YT's CPO @nealmohan chats w/@GreylockVC's @davthack on #greymatter
