JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon teased to Axios' Jim VandeHei in an interview for "The Axios Show" that he may look to start a media venture after he's done leading one of the world's most influential banks.

Why it matters: Dimon believes many of the country's economic problems can be fixed with stronger policies, but argues there isn't a strong enough media infrastructure to educate opinion leaders and policymakers about what to do.

Zoom in: Dimon said if he were to start a media venture "it would be something different about policy."

"I think media is critical. Media teaches everybody. Media's the great influencer," he said.
A lot of bad policy, he believes, stems from people in the media doing a bad job of explaining issues.

What's next: Dimon said he's also considering teaching, in addition to writing a book once he's done with his role.
