16: Playlist Live Mashup w/ Top Streamers Katy B and THEJAYYSHOW

“I never imagined streaming could have such a big impact on my life.”

Today’s episode is also part of a series of episodes that were recorded at the recent Playlist Live conference. If you haven’t heard our other Playlist interviews, definitely go back and check out episodes 14 and 15.

Today’s episode features two top streamers from both the MeetMe and Tagged platforms, Jayy from THEJAYYSHOW and Katy B.

First, I chat with Katy B, an actress and former dancer for the 76ers, who shares how live streaming is the perfect complement to a creative career and how she’s benefitted from it - from improving her improv skills to giving her a chance to practice in front of live audience from the comfort of her home.

We also talk about community building and she shares how she loves thanking her audience by sending them physical gifts, from Christmas present giveaways to mailing over 130 Valentines cards.

I then talk with Jayy, who goes by the screen name THEJAYYSHOW. She shares her story of growing up feeling socially awkward and alone, then one day going on MeetMe to find friends and accidentally hitting the live stream button. Fast forward to today, and she is a full-time live streamer who is very passionate about providing entertainment for her followers. We also discuss common misperceptions that people have about being a live streamer and how she overcame that with her family.
