Things I learned at the LA Streamer University in person Applications.

- This is a great opportunity to meet/network with other creators who have similar interests as you.

- If ur not in line 24hours before the event, you are late. Best of luck ATL

- Have your online application submitted BEFORE you go in person so Kai has something to see after he meets you. (Online apps are more important imo)

- If you’re going to stream the event be sure to bring a lot of extra battery chargers, and try not to be intimidated by people with pro level setups.

- Speaking honestly u will most likely be skipped/bumped in line by famous people, and well knows streamers/creators

- It seems they’re changing the vetting system for each city. LA had 2 rounds of auditions before meeting Kai in person, and everyone will not meet him, just fyi

- There will be more people there to capitalize off of the moment, and clip farm than genuine creators/streamers.

- DO NOT rush the entrance or chase well known creators! A majority of people at the LA event were not allowed in because people tried to mob the front door once they saw Kai arrive (hence why I and many others never went in lol)

Kai is not accepting anyone in person, and the denials seem to be mainly a way to make funny content for BTS, so if u make it in the room be memorable, and make the most of your interview to stand out.

- A lot of creators are very nervous, and may not be ready for the level of exposure this opportunity could give them based on conversations I had. In which case I recommend taking a deep breath, and making the most of this experience, and between now and the next year work on your fears of being a successful creator because it comes with a lot of highs/lows and lack of privacy/scrutiny and if u don’t want that there are other ways to build a community that isn’t of that kind of risk.

- Have fun, and remember this isn’t your only moment to be discovered. Keep creating content even outside of this event and get comfortable with delayed gratification in this life as an entrepreneur. You gotta make content for the love of the game, not for the quick fix of financial & public fame/success. Entertainment is a very volatile business, and nothing lasts forever so try to build something you can be proud of down the road, because 20 years from now who knows if these apps will even exist. Keep creating, keep growing, keep evolving as a person and you’ll enjoy this journey forever.

[black @6LACK]

to every artist/person out there, your life & career will hardly ever just be vertical, and the purpose of art goes beyond charts, sales, analytics, algorithms. this shit has its natural & unnatural ups & downs, but the best thing you can do is create things that are honest, so that you never look back & have regrets. everyday you’re breathing you get an opportunity to reintroduce yourself & put something meaningful out into the world. do the work. have fun doing it. everything else is a bonus.

[Cyrus Wesson @TheCyDaKid]

@DJRTistic Looking forward to your review
