On #LivestreamStars with Ross Brand, Emmy Award Winner & NBC Today Show Personality Mario Armstrong talked about his upcoming launch of the Never Settle Show, including the challenges of doing a full broadcast production with a studio audience, convincing people of the viability of informational content streamed on Facebook Live, and the opportunities that could open up for other livestreamers.

You’ve probably seen Mario Armstrong on TV as an Emmy Award–winning talk show host and Digital Lifestyle Expert® or as a regular contributor on NBC’s TODAY show, CNN, and NPR. Or maybe on Inside Edition, Dr. Oz, Steve Harvey, or Rachael Ray.

Soon, you’ll be seeing Mario as the host of the Never Settle Show, the world’s first crowd-produced, livestreamed talk show with live participation from the in-studio & online audience.

When he’s not playing host, contributor, and expert, he’s living a balanced life, playing husband and father, devouring sushi, meditating, adding to his metal lunchbox collection, and taking his “sneaker head” status to borderline obsessive levels. (Seriously, you wouldn’t believe this guy’s closet.)
