In this episode of The GigTube Podcast I interview Luis Berti of Delivery TV. Believe it or not, Luis&#39;s channel is one of the most popular gigtube channels; but if you only speak English you may not have seen it before. That&#39;s because all of Delivery TV&#39;s videos are in Spanish. Luis is based in Houston, Texas.

Hannibal is Hungry is a GigTuber out of Brooklyn, NY. His channel is mostly commentary on the current state of the gig economy along with interviews of other gigtubers. He makes really polished/well-edited videos with a thumping soundtrack and hilarious memes. This was my first time speaking with Hannibal.

&#34;Driving Addict&#34; is an apt term for this gigtuber out of the Dayton, Ohio area who works 60 hours a week and drives 200-300 miles a day. He got his start with Amazon DSP, but eventually branched out into food, package and grocery delivery. He&#39;s been an Uber driver for years and still makes pretty good money doing it. He recently blown up on TikTok where he posts videos of terrible low tip/no tip offers from DoorDash and Uber Eats.

In this episode of The GigTube podcast, I speak with Stephania Ramsey aka &#34;Steph On The Pedal&#34;. Her channel is devoted to all things gig economy, but especially Instacart. We talk about how she left her day job and started driving Uber and eventually shifted to Instacart, Shipt and other delivery gigs. Steph is also a professional photographer and we discuss that a bit.

In this special daytime episode, I&#39;ll be speaking with Aaron Hoffman, co-founder and CEO of the catering delivery app DeliverThat (https://www.ideliverthat.com). This company is fairly small compared to the GrubDashEats giants, but they also provide a much different service. How different? That&#39;s something I&#39;ll be discussing with Aaron. We&#39;ll also go over the formation of the company, how they survived the pandemic and what the future looks like for them. Have questions about DeliverThat? You can email Aaron directly at aaron@ideliverthat.comIf you&#39;re looking for a new gig app to drive for, I recommend applying with DeliverThat to become a driver.

In this episode of The GigTube Podcast, I talk with Gio of American Gig-Olo fame (formerly &#34;Rideshare Revolution&#34;). He&#39;s one of the originators of the GigTube format and has been making videos about the gig economy going back a few years when he was a full time Uber and Lyft driver. He&#39;s since expanded to many other gigs including Amazon Flex, Instacart and Task Rabbit. Gio is a man who keeps it real and pulls no punches. Probably why he&#39;s so popular in the GigTube community. Check out Gio&#39;s YouTube channel here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FAmericanGigOlo&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2poNnB6M3lfcVRMZFdpNEg5Q3BrR2VnZDZBQXxBQ3Jtc0ttbXNQblNjY0FtZ3YyeGVDOU9qeXZnVVNzcFpzbGY3OE5iMkxMYTBWV0U5Nl9uV3pfZGtWOHRCeTZWRHhxeGktemZRaDFJbGh4MG96cTg0cGExSjdVcFM1UHl6aDlMbnZCSVNzSGlTeUIxVVE1aGhSOA" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/AmericanGigOlo</a>NOTE: This interview was originally recorded on April 13, 2020.

Jason Pease aka &#34;Drive to Win 13&#34; has been making how-to videos about gig apps for almost 3 years. Many of his videos have well over 100k views! He doesn&#39;t post content as regularly as he used to, but that might be changing soon. Jason travels the country doing gig work and even coaches other gig workers in person.

Jonathan Whitney is one of the original gigtubers. His channel is now called &#34;Gig Nation,&#34; but it started out in 2018 as &#34;The Rideshare Panel.&#34; Jon takes a pretty basic/no-frills approach to his videos, but it&#39;s a strategy that pays off as most of his videos garner thousands of views. In fact, his channel has over 5 million total views! At the time of this interview, Jon was living in Seattle but has since moved to Jacksonville, Florida. Jon has cut back on the YouTube output to concentrate on several of his own businesses including a gig jobs board known as &#34;Gig Sharks.&#34;Check out Gig Nation here:YouTube: https://bit.ly/gignationFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gignationWeb: https://gigsharks.comNOTE: This podcast was originally recorded on Apri 2, 2020.

Brian &#34;The Instacart Bulldog&#34; Tilton is a fairly new gigtuber out of Pensacola, Florida. His content is, not surprisingly, Instacart-based. He doled out a lot of tips and tricks in just a short time. Probably because he has such a likable personality and always gets right to the point.

Bentley Koup is the man behind &#34;DoorDash Diaries&#34;, a YouTube channel dedicated to all things DoorDash. Though he&#39;s probably the most famous Dasher on the internet, it&#39;s actually a side hustle for him as he runs a Charlotte-based clothing company as his day job. Mr. Koup is rather controversial as he&#39;s gotten into beefs with other gigtubers and has made it no secret that he&#39;s invested in DoorDash.Check out Bentley Koup on the web here:YouTube: https://bit.ly/bentleykoupMerch store: https://tripledeez.ecwid.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bentleykoup/NOTE: This interview was originally recorded on March 10, 2020.

Dave Wright is one of the original &#34;gigtubers&#34;. Back in 2018, he made several videos about Uber, Lyft, Instacart, and Amazon Flex that have garnered tens of thousands of views. He was instantly recognizable due to his epic beard and New England accent. Dave retired from YouTube and gig work in 2020 and has since started his own business. Still, the insight he provided in those early videos holds true today.Check out Dave&#39;s gigtube channel here: http://bit.ly/DaveWrightTheCapitalistNOTE: This interview was recorded on February 26, 2020Watch the video version of this interview here: https://youtu.be/2kGmvjKo7zI***Follow me on social media***INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/gig_tubeTWITTER: https://twitter.com/gig_tubeFACEBOOK: https://facebook.com/gigtubeWant to advertise on this show?

UDM runs one of the most popular gigtube channels of the last few years. He&#39;s done pretty much every app at this point. Viewers love him because he tells it like it is and he&#39;s extremely likable even when he&#39;s being critical. One of the most underrated channels, IMHO.Check Out UDM on the web here:YouTube: <a href="http://bit.ly/UDMyoutube" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/UDMyoutube</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lifeofudm/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/lifeofudm/</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lifeofudm/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/lifeofudm/</a>NOTE: This interview was originally recorded 2/11/20.

The was the first-ever episode of The GigTube Podcast (though I didn&#39;t have a name for the show at the time). I interviewed Idan Abada of the YouTube channel How Much? (which currently has 128k subscribers!). Idan is originally from Israel, but has lived in both Seattle and Los Angeles the last decade or so. He starting out on YouTube making videos about Bitcoin - showing how much money he could make mining cryptocurrency. He later got into gig apps like Uber Eats, Instacart, Shipt, and DoorDash and made videos showing how much money he could make with each app. His Uber Eats video currently has 3.5 MILLION views!NOTE: This interview was originally recorded on January 12, 2020Check out Idan on the web here:YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/howmuchbitcoin" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/howmuchbitcoin</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/abadaidan/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/abadaidan/</a>Merch store: <a href="https://bitcoinmerch.com" rel="nofollow">https://bitcoinmerch.com</a>Watch the video version of this interview here: <a href="https://youtu.be/WHOHwOYBBNg" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/WHOHwOYBBNg</a>See ALL episodes of The GigTube Podcast interview here: <a href="https://bit.ly/gigtubeinterviews" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/gigtubeinterviews</a>For all your GigTube social media needs, simply follow this link: <a href="https://linktr.ee/GigTube" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/GigTube</a> Want to advertise on this show?
