If you've been following the greater gigtube community for a while no doubt you've heard of Driver's Utility Helper and Maxymo. Both of these gig helper apps were developed by Gary Middleton. He runs his own app development company called Middleton Technologies. Gary is also a gig worker himself. How he manages to do both is pretty amazing and it's something we'll discuss in th...

When it comes to GigTubers,  @The Gig Econ Don  (formerly "DoorDash Dad") is one of the most popular around. Why? Because he's a straight shooter, he's not afraid to speak his mind, he doesn't fall back on SFX and such. You've probably seen him teaming up with UDM, hosting livestreams, and commenting on notable DoorDash news stories. Check Derek out here: YouTube: https://w...

If you're a food delivery driver you really ought to be listening to the Mike Delivers podcast hosted by Mike Bisceglia out of Bloomfield, New Jersey. Mike's been podcasting and driving for Uber Eats for over 2 years. His show is something of a variety show; on odd-numbered episodes he discusses interesting delivery experiences he had that week and/or the gig news of the week (often with a...

In this episode of The GigTube Podcast Interview, I speak with Valdestot's Voice. He's one of the most mysterious GigTubers as he always stays behind the camera. In fact, a lot of his videos are just PowerPoints with his narration (hence the name Valdestot's VOICE). Though his channel is relatively small, his influence is pretty big as many of the big name GigTubers watch him regularly...

In this episode of The GigTube Podcast I interview Luis Berti of Delivery TV. Believe it or not, Luis's channel is one of the most popular gigtube channels; but if you only speak English you may not have seen it before. That's because all of Delivery TV's videos are in Spanish. Luis is based in Houston, Texas. Check out DELIVERY TV on the web here: https://www.delivery-tv.com/ https://...

The Para app is taking the gig world by storm! It was the first app to literally crack DoorDash's code and show drivers the FULL tip! Since then they've also incorporated this feature for Uber Eats and GrubHub. David and Jimmy join me to explain how the app works. I highly recommend it for all GrubDashEats drivers! iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/para-gig-drivers-earn-more/id15483222...

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. We hit it off so well that we decided to start a weekly show together covering the gig news...

In my first-ever live interview, I talk with Eli Esch, who has one of the fastest-growing GigTube channels. Plus, he's probably the youngest GigTuber at only 20!
