I know that these forums are usually for announcements, discussions of research findings, and even just input on a specific topic. Still, I was also thinking, because we have SO MANY content creators in here, including Apollos, IP, Than, and of course Tim. I wanted to ask some questions about those who have experience doing live calls (specifically from platforms like TikTok, and YouTube).
- How do you know when you are ready?
This is something I think about all the time when wanting to start going live on TikTok and other platforms: I have the means and the access; I just don't know if I am ready for "the smoke". I talk in Discord chatrooms all the time about complex topics and feel confident with most people whom I encounter there, but how do I know when I am ready for live?
2. How should you react when you don't know something (and an important clarifier), and the guest is trying to make you feel not qualified for knowing something?
Not knowing something and just admitting it, and just ending that portion of the conversation, is one thing, because that's just humility. It's a complete other thing when you have "influence," and you are live, and a guest is making you look as if you are "cooked," "baked," or not qualified just for knowledge gapping you. This isn't a problem for me, because I know this is just untrue, but for an audience that has been primed to be very reactionary to this type of content, it might be a different story.
How should I respond when that accusation is made?
That's basically it lol.
Any feedback or thoughts from anyone will be much appreciated!
