Spun Today With Tony Ortiz

Welcome to Episode 277 of Spun Today, your creative sanctuary where writing meets inspiration! I’m your host, Tony Ortiz, and today’s episode is a special year-in-review recap of 2024, packed with reflections, achievements, and lessons learned. We'll revisit some of the most monumental deals in the creative world, like Issa Rae turning down a multi-million dollar offer to ultimately secure a better deal for her successful career, Kobe Bryant's incredible investment in Body Armor that paid off big time, and the $15+ million Stitcher deal landed by the "Your Mom’s House" podcast network. We'll break down the top five episodes from Spun Today in 2024, including writing sessions, book reviews, and popular discussions about shows like "Black Mirror" and "Jack Ryan." I’ll share personal milestones, like the challenging journey through my wife’s breast cancer battle. Plus, we’ll dive into the highlights and lowlights of tracking listener engagement, social media expansion efforts, and my aspirations for 2025. Join m
