Hey everyone, thought to jump on here and wish our Canadian members a Happy Thanksgiving I'm absolutely grateful for each and everyone of you for being here and part of this wonderful community. Here's what else I covered: Quick update on Speakpipe usage for questions here in the community. Shared a real life example of a question to test it inside Skool. ( Spoiler alert, it works faboulously) Quick update on Stream Alive and Effi New Update on new Live Selling Partner

Most creators think small YouTube channels don’t matter. But the data tells a different story. One of the live podcasts I produced pulled 93.8% of its watch time from non‑subscribers — meaning almost all the reach came from new people discovering the content. That’s the power of livestreaming: your audience isn’t limited to who already follows you. And here’s the part most creators get wrong: Everyone is optimizing for mobile… but computers still dominate at 56.8% of watch time, and TV is quietly growing at 9.5%. Mobile only accounts for one‑third of consumption in this niche. If you’re designing your livestreams or podcasts mobile‑first, you might be optimizing for the wrong screen. Small channels still carry weight. Discovery still happens. And long‑form content still wins — especially when you treat YouTube as part of your operating system, not just a place to upload videos. Creators who understand device behavior will win the next wave of attention. @Karin Crawford you may find these TV stats fascinating for Blooming Voices @Des Dreckett are your members experiencing the same results over on YouTube for Skool

Today, I’m shining a spotlight on someone whose talent has added something truly special to the Your Stage Community — @Mike LeBlanc We’ve just launched the Your Stage Music Category, and Mike poured his heart, creativity, and musical brilliance into it. His custom-written lyrics and original music have helped shape our community anthem and these powerful pieces will now serve as the intros and outros for our live events. Mike didn’t just contribute music…He captured the soul of what Your Stage stands for: Confidence, Clarity, Connection, and the Courage to share your voice with the world. If you’re looking for someone who can translate emotion into melody, message into music, or vision into a powerful sonic identity, reach out to Mike. He is truly gifted at crafting custom lyrics and musical compositions that resonate deeply. Your Stage is better because of him and the community will feel his impact every time we go live. Thank you, Mike — your art inspires the stage we all stand on.
