    Episode 582: Creators Are Leaving in 2026 – Here's What They're Not Telling You
    Jan 15 2026
    In this conversation! I delve into the realities facing content creators in 2026, shedding light on the emotional, mental, and strategic challenges that come with building a digital presence in an increasingly competitive landscape. He speaks openly about mental health, highlighting how constant comparison, burnout, and imposter syndrome can quietly erode confidence, even for creators who appear successful on the surface. Rory also examines the unpredictable nature of algorithms and how chasing metrics alone can lead creators away from their original purpose.

    Throughout the discussion, he emphasizes the critical role of community both in supporting audiences and among fellow creators as a grounding force in an otherwise isolating journey. Collaboration, accountability, and setting realistic, achievable goals are positioned as essential tools for long-term sustainability. Rory encourages creators to reconnect with their “why,” reminding them that purpose-driven content has a lasting impact beyond views and numbers. Ultimately, he urges creators not to give up on their dreams, but instead to build supportive communities around them that foster growth, resilience, and genuine connection.
