Ed Elson is a media strategist, newsletter writer, and podcast host based in New York. He hosts Prof G Markets alongside 📝Scott Galloway, covering business, technology, and market trends. Before the show, Elson cold-pitched Galloway for an internship — a move that led to co-authoring a New York Times bestseller, creating two TV shows (both cancelled), winning a Webby for best business newsletter, and launching the podcast. He also writes 📝Simply Put, a weekly Substack newsletter about business and technology.

Elson's recent thinking centers on the 📝Clip Economy — the structural shift in media where short clips of long-form content have become the primary product rather than promotional byproducts. His April 2026 essay on the subject laid out the economics of clipping, from TBPN's 📝OpenAI acquisition to the rise of professional clipping agencies, arguing that legacy media's survival depends on winning this new distribution format.
