How to build a media empire from your bedroom | Big Pod #13

At age 24, Rumen Naumovski is the founder of Resist the Mainstream, a right-leaning news site that gets millions of views a month. His newsletter goes out to 500K readers and he has a combined 1.3 million followers across social media.

We talk about that, censorship in the media, and the role of alternative social media platforms.
