30: Gabriella Gomez: From Marketing Exec to #2 Live-Streamer!

In this powerhouse episode of the TikTok FAMOUS™️ Podcast, host Meredyth Willits sits down with Gabriella Gomez, former corporate marketing exec turned full-time TikTok live-streamer, currently ranked among the top 100 streamers in the U.S. every single day, and known for her intelligence, warmth, and marathon streaming sessions that bring in thousands of loyal viewers.

 

With a background working at iconic brands like Beats by Dre, Monster, and K-Swiss, Gabriella left the boardroom behind and now dominates a space many still don't understand, TikTok LIVE. From fashion-forward fit checks to community-centered conversation marathons, she's building a new kind of platform... one stream at a time.

 

Together, they unpack:

✅ What it takes to go from 9–5 to full-time live-streamer and why she walked away
✅ The secret art of not burning out while streaming 8–12 hours a day
✅ Why most streamers fail before they even begin
✅ How to handle gifting, stalkers, and streaming boundaries like a boss
✅ Why livestreaming is the new television and how brands still don't get it
✅ The real reason consistency matters more than charisma

 

Gabriella also opens up about…

✨ Being on live every day for a full year and what it taught her
✨ Her time working with Bella Thorne, Hugh Jackman, Denzel Washington, and Robert De Niro
✨ How she built an entire team culture around safety, strategy, and shared purpose
✨ The pressure of "niching down" vs. letting your audience show you who you are
✨ Why she's done chasing the algorithm and ready to launch her own talk show format

 

If you've ever dreamed of turning your voice into your brand or wondered if livestreaming was only for teenagers and gamers, this episode proves there's space for you to build, teach, lead, and earn. It's business. It's personal. It's the future of digital storytelling, and Gabriella is building it in real time.
