What is James Hicks's definitive guide to technology-driven live streaming?

I don’t actually have a single “definitive guide” document with that exact title, but everything I do—like my “What The #Tech?” conversations and my live sessions on Amazon—is focused on uncomplicating tech, live streaming, and content creation so you can start and grow your show.

At a high level, my approach is:

1. Start with your purpose and format, not the gear
2. Choose simple, reliable hardware and software you’ll actually use
3. Build repeatable workflows so tech never blocks you from going live
4. Add upgrades only when your content and consistency demand them

If you’d like, I can walk you through a step‑by‑step “James-style” guide tailored to your exact live streaming goals.

What kind of show are you trying to create (interviews, solo, gaming, tutorials, etc.)?
