Welcome to Luminaries. Your weekly deep-dive into the minds moving culture, capital, and code.

I’m Matt Medved.

If you’re here, you likely care about where the world’s heading, and who’s shaping it. Luminaries brings you revealing profiles and exclusive access to visionary leaders, delivered straight to your inbox.

Before Now Media, I founded Billboard Dance and served as Editor-in-Chief at SPIN and SVP of Content at Modern Luxury. I’ve spent the last decade spotlighting cultural leaders at the top of their game, from Avicii and Billie Eilish to Gary Vaynerchuk and Reese Witherspoon.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that people matter most. The best stories aren’t just about ideas. They’re about the humans behind them. That’s what Luminaries is all about.

As a subscriber, you’ll get access to:

Weekly Luminaries profiles: Deep dives into the minds shaping tomorrow, from boundary-pushing founders to artists, investors, and innovators redefining what’s possible.
Private Salon Q&As: Exclusive, off-the-record conversations with Luminaries subjects. Intimate settings, candid insights, and direct connections.
Invite-Only Events: Be first on the list for future Luminaries gatherings. Live interviews, curated experiences, and real-world connections with movers and shakers.
and much more…

We’ll be kicking off next Tuesday with someone truly special. He’s one of the most influential figures in digital culture today, blurring the lines between art, technology, and imagination. Can’t wait to show you.

Let’s keep telling the stories that matter.
