We hand-picked six creators who paved a new path for the industry in 2023. Who they are—and why we picked them ⬇️ 1️⃣ Kevin Espiritu (aka @epicgardening) for redefining creator M&A, as his Epic Gardening holding company acquired a 28-year-old seed packet business, Botanical Interest, in January 2023. 2️⃣ Mai Pham (@maiphammy) for building a hit fashion brand, Alchemai, from the ground up—using a second, “spam” Instagram as her primary sales channel. 3️⃣ Sam Denby (aka @wendoverproductions) for paving a new path for producing premium content, as creator-owned streaming startup Nebula named him its chief content officer. 4️⃣ Tessa Barton (@tezza.barton) for passing $32 million in annual recurring revenue for her photo editing app, Tezza. 5️⃣ Travis Hunter (@DB3_tip) for becoming one of the Top 10 earners across college sports by building a unique media brand and driving his story’s narrative. 6️⃣ Tina Choi (aka @doobydobap) for investing over $200,000 of her own savings to open a restaurant in South Korea—and documenting the buildout on her channel.
