Live Shopping is having a very real moment — and this conversation proves why. In this episode of Leap Into Livestream, I’m joined by Xan Spencer and David McMenomey, Co-Founders of Channelize, following their major acquisition of LiveScale — one of the most respected Live Commerce platforms to emerge from Europe.

We break down:

• Why Channelize acquired LiveScale and what it signals for the future of Live Commerce

• How Live Shopping and Shoppable Video have already generated millions in revenue for brands • What brands are finally understanding about conversion, video, and ownership

• Why Live Commerce adoption has moved slower in Western markets — and what’s changing

• Our 2026 predictions for Live Shopping, Shoppable Video, and Social Commerce

• The role Gary Vaynerchuk continues to play in accelerating mainstream adoption

If you’re a brand, retailer, founder, or marketer wondering whether Live Shopping is actually worth the investment — this episode offers real clarity from the people building the infrastructure behind it.
