- Launch Disk Utility from Applications>Utilities or Spotlight search
- Insert your USB stick and observe the new device added to Disk
Utility - Select the USB stick device (you may need to enable the option
View>Show All Devices) and selectErasefrom the tool bar (or
right-click menu) - Set the format to
MS-DOS (FAT)and the scheme toGUID Partition Map
- Check you've chosen the correct device and click
Erase.
Warning: Disk Utility needs to be used with caution as selecting the wrong device or partition can result in data loss.
To write the ISO file to the USB stick, we're going to use a free and open source application called Etcher. After downloading this and clicking to mount the package, Etcher can either be run in-place or dragged into your Applications folder.
By default, recent versions of macOS block the running of applications from unidentified developers. To side-step this issue, enable ‘App Store and identified developers' in the ‘Security & Privacy' pane of System Preferences. If you are still warned against running the application, click ‘Open Anyway' in the same pane.
Etcher will configure and write to your USB device in three stages, each of which needs to be selected in turn:
- Select image will open a file requester from which should navigate to
and select the ISO file downloaded previously. By default, the ISO
file will be in your Downloads folder. - Select drive, replaced by the name of your USB device if one is
already attached, lets you select your target device. You will be
warned if the storage space is too small for your selected ISO. - Flash! will activate when both the image and the drive have been
selected. As with Disk Utility, Etcher needs low-level access to your
storage hardware and will ask for your password after selection.
After entering your password, Etcher will start writing the ISO file to your USB device.
The Flash stage of the process will show progress, writing speed and an estimated duration until completion. This will be followed by a validation stage that will ensure the contents of the USB device are identical to the source image.
When everything has finished, Etcher will declare the process a success.
Congratulations! You now have Ubuntu on a USB stick, bootable and ready to go.
If you want to use your USB stick with an Apple Mac, you will need to restart or power-on the Mac with the USB stick inserted while the Option/alt(⌥) key is pressed.

A fast way to create a bootable USB stick seems to be the crossplatform Balena Etcher app.
One downloads the desired ISO and then runs Balena to flash it to the drive, creating a bootable boot device.
I found the answer before anyone else responded, but my answer won't be spam because I am a newbie so I'll get downvoted anyway :)
