Michael Daniels: "This is true social media. I think the other stuff, and I say this all the time, even on my show, I say it's antisocial media But for me, this is true social media."

Michael Daniels: "Don't worry what people think. Don't worry about it, I mean, you do want to worry somewhat. If somebody's giving you good criticism, take it and run with it. But don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to do it."

Michael Daniels: "So, that's the other thing with live streaming. Everybody wants it, hey, this doesn't look like TV. So, what it's more about the conversation and the topic than it is how well you look. It's more about the words that we talk about. If my video just went out right now, so what? We could still have a great conversation. Might not be as explicit. You might not get as much of the emotions and stuff. So, it does add to it. But it doesn't matter if my screen's blurry. You still get what I'm getting out of it. And it doesn't matter."
