Morgan Busby: Surviving & Thriving in a Changing Financial Publishing industry

This episode took me too long to get done.

In this conversation with Morgan Busby, CEO of Financial Media Corp.

Morgan is one of my favorite people in FinPub.

He’s a great entrepreneur and human.

He’s also always willing to talk about the hard stuff in business.

We dig into the challenges he’s had managing the business over the past few years.

From the early 2020 fears of maybe needing the business plan version of an apocalypse bunker – to the biggest boom the industry has ever seen.

To the regulatory nightmare at the start of the biggest drop in market demand the industry had ever seen in 2022-to-early-2023.

“I think we lost money for 18-months straight. It was brutal.”

And how the business came out the other side stronger, more focused, and with a ton of lessons.

The business is thriving again.

And Morgan shares what he’s learned along the way.

Plus, his view on where the industry is headed.

This is one to watch.

We cover a lot of ground super-relevant to all of us in Finpub.
