Daniel Clancy, CEO of Twitch, on its future, helping streamers monetize, his start, and community!

Daniel is currently operating the most important platform for streamers worldwide and has taken the skills he learned working in AI at NASA, community building at YouTube, and more to be the leader it needs! When it was announced that Daniel would become CEO, some thought he was solely a tech first leader, yet Daniel's background in theater, creator & community, and more is extensive and very helpful! His style of openness about discussing the needs of creators and his aspirations for Twitch as a whole has been very appreciated for many who have live streaming as their career, primary income, and true passion. As someone who was early on the YouTube team at Google, Daniel has been one of the few to be immersed in this world from its beginnings providing him a great perspective. He shares how Twitch, when it was Justin.TV, was nearly acquired by YouTube, how he balances his time managing the platform, the importance of community before technology, the path of profitability, and what he aspires to accomplish now!
