Welcome back to the show! Today we’re unpacking some game-changing YouTube updates that could shift how creators and business owners show up online. Let’s just say… things are no longer as simple as “just hit Go Live.” YouTube’s rolling out new tools—some exciting, some unexpected—that could help you stand out, connect deeper, and maybe even turn casual viewers into loyal fans… or paying clients. We’re sharing what we’ve seen behind the scenes, how it’s impacted our own livestream strategy, and why now might be the best time to go live—even if you never have before. Plus: a quick-fire rundown of what’s working in live content right now. If you’ve ever wondered “Is live really worth it?” or “How do I actually make it work for my brand?” — this one’s for you. Hit play. What you hear might just change your next move. Also don't forget to go to bizbros.co/monetize some of the available Free spots for the challenge this week!
