I had a chance to participate in a 2-hour YouTube Livestream with four other Uber and Lyft drivers.

The Rideshare Guy has a weekly show called Show Me the Money Club. This episode discussed the issues facing small market rideshare drivers. 

Sergio and Chris did a good job keeping the conversation going and hitting on some hot topics like:

• Are rideshare drivers legit independent contractors?

• How are small markets managing the economic downturn?

• What are things we can do to be safer?

• And more!

The drivers were fantastic, and I loved hearing their stories.

• Tim drives with Lyft and is from Portland. I love his idea about driver and passenger mitigation to prevent false claims that deactivate a driver.

• Tony drives a Tesla in Denver. Check out his YouTube channel: The Driven Dad, where he shows you how to maximize all the apps.

• Shawn drives with Lyft outside of Philly. Getting deactivated by Uber refocused his efforts to become a private driver.

• Adolphus drives Marines around in San Diego. He found a way to help service Marines that didn't have rideshare on base.

• Jeff is a long-time driver down in Myrtle Beach and is passionate about people.

• Sergio drives in Los Angeles and enjoyed hearing some stories about driving in a small market.

• Chris drives out in Buffalo, which seems pretty similar to me.

Check it out, and let me know what you think.
