Get hyped for @doranmauldin because he just got picked for Showcase...

Hey DUnite Family,

We've got another top tier content creator for you this week! As always, we'll start with how the showcase works, and then get into their Q&A.

How the Showcase Works

Each week we highlight one content creator and provide a brief overview of their channel, as well as a small Q&A. This will both help the streamer who's showcased, as it gives them more exposure and can help build their following, as well as other streamers and creators who can apply some of the tips discussed in the answers.

If you're wondering how you can make it into our weekly content creator showcase, it's simple. Just use the tag: #dunite on your streams and videos and you'll have a chance to be featured on next week's showcase. We pick creators who have quality content and engage with the community. It also helps to be a member of our discord!

Important Change: We used to do showcases on Sunday, but we'll be posting them on Wednesdays from now on. This is because Wednesdays are the most popular days for viewing content on Steem and should give our creators a bigger boost in exposure.

Meet Hive account@doranmauldin

What do you usually stream?
I usually stream myself playing the high-velocity, intense, powerful first-person shooter game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (also known as PUBG). I have always loved First Person Shooters. I have over one thousand hours on Counter Strike Source from "back in the day". I'm also really into MMORPGS like Runescape, World of Warcraft, Diablo franchise, etc. I love Real Time Strategies, as well, like Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne, Empires: Dawn of the Modern World, etc. The list goes on... But yeah, right now I strictly play PUBG.

When do you usually stream?
I'm on at 6-7pm EST weekdays, and on for much longer periods on the weekend, generally. The weekends can be random. If you want a good idea of when I'll probably be on you can find my schedule on my panel feed at Twitch.tv/doranmaul. I try to stick to times when people are home from school and off of work. I want the maximum number of people to be able to come and hangout.

Why do you stream?
I stream because I love it. I loved watching streams before I started streaming, and I just decided to start doing it. It's been a blessing because I'm pretty new to it, but we have had exponential growth in a short period of time. And I'm honored to be featured on this content creator showcase. Honestly, deep down somewhere inside of you there is greatness, and you have probably felt like you were the only one that could see/feel it, at times, or maybe all of the time. I've always tried different things from music to modeling to coding/programming, and beyond. I've just always looked for an outlet to express my greatest self, and become better while doing so, and I think streaming yourself live is a great way to do that. Also, I love people, and being good to others. Idk man... It's just all really cool.

What are your goals for streaming?
I want to create a massive community that is respected on a mainstream level. I want the brand and influence to grow into a media company, e-commerce brands, etc. The vision is bigger than me, and I honestly look at it as every single person that interacts with the stream plays a role in building the skyscraper of success. We are starting at the ground floor. And together, we can make it to the top. I want everyone to be able to benefit in some way from the channel.

What are some tips you can pass along to other streamers?
Be yourself, be humble, and love others. Honestly, if you can stick to those things, and throw some entertainment and laughter in the mix, I think you're golden. At least, that's what I'm trying to do...
