Why Live Streaming has Taken Over 2026

Gary Vaynerchuk, John, Jordy
Spotify

Gary Vaynerchuk joins John and Jordy on TBPN to discuss the massive shift toward live streaming in 2026. He explains that his audacious bets aren't driven by wealth, but by close observation of consumer behavior and historical media shifts—the real call was never about any single platform, but about network effects and the removal of gatekeepers. Gary predicts that every genre will develop its own daily live show, just as football exploded with television; similarly, new genres will explode with streaming. He also reflects on hitting his creative prime at 50 and why, in an age of AI, we will crave more romance and human imperfection, not less.
