In this episode of The Blunt Dollar, I sit down with Phil Rosen, a former Business Insider reporter turned media entrepreneur, whose journey from literary fiction to launching one of the fastest-growing finance newsletters in the game is anything but typical.

Phil is the cofounder of Opening Bell Daily, a high-impact financial newsletter read by investors around the world and syndicated by Inc. Magazine and Bloomberg Terminals. He also hosts Full Signal, a show that breaks down market trends and interviews top thinkers in finance and tech.

We discuss the tectonic shift in financial media, how AI is reshaping content creation, and what it takes to build a sustainable voice in a noisy digital world.

✅ From Business Insider to building an independent media empire 📈
✅ Why volume still wins and how to scale without burning out 🔥
✅ Legacy media’s trust problem and the rise of individual brands 🧱
✅ How AI is changing the game and how Phil uses it daily 🤖
✅ Storytelling, stoicism, and simplifying finance for real people 📚

If you like media disruption, creator-led finance, and sharp takes on the future of content, this one’s for you.
