Embedding Live Streams to Reinforce Your Brand

Send us feedback/questions via Text

What do you do when YouTube dies mid-livestream, a fire alarm goes off in your office, and a guest sits frozen on screen for seven awkward minutes? Dave and Jim tackle real live-show disasters this week, plus how to embed your own live stream on your website without touching an RTMP link, why AI keeps butchering your guests' last names, and whether those "automatic clip maker" tools are actually saving you any time (spoiler: maybe not). They also dig into resurrecting old blog content with ChatGPT, the real conversion rate on 60-second clips, and why "7-figure podcaster" claims deserve a serious side-eye.
