Ever wonder what it takes to build a professional streaming ecosystem from the ground up? In this session of Vibe Code, we go deep into the technical and creative aspects of building in public, from custom-coded production tools to the business of modern content creation. πŸš€

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on my custom-built production hub and manage assets on the fly. We discuss how to eliminate workflow friction by using AI tools like Claude to build dynamic overlays, tickers, and merch rotators that work seamlessly across both horizontal and vertical platforms. Special guest Tallboy joins the conversation to share insights from Streamer University and the massive business opportunities available for the next generation of creators. πŸ’»

We also dive into the importance of media ownership, discussing why building your own servers and platforms is more critical than ever in an era of corporate mergers and changing algorithms. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just starting out, these insights into production, branding, and the creator economy will help you take your content to the next level. πŸ“ˆ
