Ladies Who LiveStream: Episode 1 on Blab
Ladies Who LiveStream runs on Blab Thursday nights at 10 pm EST/7 pm PST. Hosted by JennyQ, “Queen of Blab”, and Ms. Candy Blog, “where candy is always in vogue”, the show features the unique issues surrounding women in live streaming.
The show is a discussion by women, for women, about being a woman in the world of livestreaming.
We want to have a place where women can gather, discuss, be validated, and hear different perspectives on these issues. At Ladies Who LiveStream, we talk about the issues, not the people. Each week, we will feature two guests who join in the conversation on a variety of topics related to women and livestreaming.
Ms. Candy Blog is “where candy is always in vogue”, a personality driven candy vlog with a focus on candy as it translates to fashion and beauty. With a degree in English, two in theatre and a background in corporate training, instructional design and community management, Ms. Candy Blog has worked for such brands as Google/YouTube, Yahoo!, J.P. Morgan and Citysearch. As a candy persona, she has partnered with Hershey’s, HSN, Epix, It’Sugar, Sour Patch Kids, Just Born (Peeps/Mike & Ike), Jelly Belly, Torie & Howard, Adams & Brooks (Whirly Pop) and Dorval Trading Company (Sour Power). Her award nominated YouTube channel is part of the World of Wonder network, having received a contract in less than a week of posting a review of the RuPaul candy bar. You can visit her at MsCandyBlog.com as well as across all social including YouTube, Periscope, Snapchat and Anchor.
Jennifer Quinn is the host of “The Daily Q Show”. She interviews people who demonstrate excellence in their fields. She’s not afraid to ask the hard questions because and she has always been curious what makes people tick. She loves getting to know people and what drives them to do what they do. Also the owner of YouBeingSocial.com. You can find her anywhere on social media as JennyQ EXCEPT Snapchat & Instagram where she goes by JennyQ411.
JennyQ found me on Periscope when I was broadcasting a candy review which she thought was so unusual, she called her husband in the room. She asked me to be on “The Daily Q Show” which, for a few reasons, scheduling didn’t work out. I went to the NY Periscope Summit with the intent of meeting her, which turned out to be rather funny since I was one of first two people Jennifer saw when stepping out of her Uber at Summit. We hung out the entire first night of the event and kept in touch, once again meeting at the (San Francisco) Periscope Summit, Summit Live, and were pretty much inseparable the entire time.
We both had a number of similar experiences directly related to the fact that we were women. And we were hearing the same stories from other women.
We both returned home and began planning our year. I shopped around ideas for a Blab with male co-hosts. Jennifer had also been looking for a new Blab show to do to add to her daily show. Jennifer and I were texting one night, talking about the issues other women were reaching out to us about when the idea for Ladies Who LiveStream came to me. I suggested that the two of us do a Blab show as co-hosts with two rotating guests discussing issues related to women and livestreaming.
Ladies Who LiveStream, Episode 1: February 25, 2016
Featuring
Bee Smith is a Best-Selling Author, Mentor, Adjunct Professor, a Researcher, Public Speaker, & PeriGirls Book Club Host on Periscope.
Ally Cohen has always had an eye for detail and an optimistic outlook — which is a perfect fit for photography. Frameable Faces was created in 1999 to offer a wide array of photographic services for families, professionals, corporations, and high school seniors.
The topics were selected at random by the guests from numbered envelopes. We discussed:.
- Favorite livestreaming app
- Objectification of women
We end our show with a game we like to called “Quirky Quotes” In the game, we ask our guests for some random words to replace selected words in a quote from a livestreamer.
This week’s original quote was by Gary Vee:
“Social media requires that business leaders start thinking like small-town shop owners. This means taking the long view and avoiding short-term benchmarks to gauge progress. It means allowing the personality, heart and soul of the people who run all levels of the business to show.”
