Christopher Claflin: How a Website Designer Became TikTok's Favorite Strategist

Today's episode is with one of TikTok's fastest growing strategists and social commentators, Christopher Claflin (@christopherclaflin). We talk about how he lost everything as a website designer when Upwork decided to shut down his account one day with no explanation. But how that led to him launching a TikTok and he has since grown a large following on the platform (580k+ followers in May of 2023). His videos are a mix of social commentary, strategy, digital media predictions and more. We talk about what Mr. Beast's growth on YouTube could tell us about the future of creators, what app could replace TikTok if the TikTok ban goes through, how Gen-Z and Gen Alpha use the internet so differently from one another and much more.
