The full stack creator is someone who first builds an audience, then serves that audience with services, education and products.  Versus traditional businesses build a product, then try acquire an audience through marketing.

Benefits of a "full stack creator approach": (1) Learning in public positions you as an expert in the industry;(2) Audience-first makes marketing your product practically free; and(3) You're able to capture more value than the typical creator who is only selling attention (usually through ads / sponsorships).
