Understanding the Creator Economy with Simone May

On this week’s episode of As Told By Nomads, Simone May joins Tayo to talk about Clutch, the company whose vision it is to build the next generation of authentic, engaging creators and support more sustainable, equitable lifestyles. As the CTO and cofounder of Clutch, May has witnessed the transformation of both the technology and software industry and has proudly participated in that change as well. Today she talks about everything from her childhood passion for math and science and her experience as a young black woman at Purdue to the power of authenticity and why she wants to democratize access in the creator space.  

As the daughter of two engineers, it’s no surprise that Simone found success in the technological field. That’s not to say that she hasn’t been met with roadblocks along the way though. Today she enlightens our audience on university burnout, how race impacts business opportunities, and where she found confidence in the midst of such struggle. This conversation is a special testament to Simone, her strength, and success. And as the pair close out today’s episode, May reveals what she and Clutch have in store for the future. You’ll definitely want to listen in.
