a little more about me!

born in la, i was fortunate to have the  opportunity to network in high places in my 20s which is when i met a grungy dallas rapper 19 wearing fake gold grills, nappy braids, and a nowitzki jersey. we clicked. he offered me a job. 

he was post malone.

how do u go from the purpose tour to anything after? 

never having had a corpo job, i found a job licensing production music to tv networks… and failed, miserably. 

i did what any good millennial would do. i blamed the offer and came up with my own plan… the creator economy was booming.

so, i made the “jingle player,” which went on to become slip.stream, which ironically acquired jingle punks just this year.

again, being from LA, and now having been part of the post camp, and gaming adjacent..i got an offer to work for FaZe Clan, where I worked directly for Lee Trink.

it was short lived bc of covid, but i’d now built real friendships with ricky, taav, etc.

from here i fell in love with crypto. had btc in 2013, xrp ico, sol at 2. missed eth but 🙈. artcade was born and IN my favorite store growing up, fred segal (rip).  

here we onboarded a bunch, launched heartsnft, got dc/mattel into web3, hosted nftla, onboarded meghan trainor, hosted paris hilton, metagolden, dustmonkey, numanuk, vert, hell… i onboarded voh, one of the single most respected female voices in crypto. 

proud of this one the most.

circa 2023, proficient in web3, gaming, creators - i was tapped by hosky/iohk (lol) to build a digital double platform. 

early, but on bleeding edge of what is literally here now. ai was terrifying even then, so as expected, we heard a lot of “no” from talent. 

ultimately, bad leadership led to a sinking ship.

now, it’s 2025. 

epiclootlabs builds and applies agentic utility and gamification layers to web2 and web3 entertainment properties to scale creator and fan engagement. 

creators of: 

• g0xxip
• slashraid

i consult and advise for:

• joi.com
• avie.live
• woddlebaby.com
• trubeapp.com 

and i love what i do.

i’m so lucky to have lived these experiences but never have really summed it all up like this before. 

i just wanted to introduce myself and thank @earth2travis for the warm welcome, and give a little color to my new friends.

excited to be here.

Welcome! Epic journey thanks for sharing.

Being born and raised in LA is a trip. Everyone knows someone. Was an Angeleno until I was 17.

Seems like a cool life to live! Congratulations and welcome!

What an interesting story! Networking can truly lead to unexpected opportunities. It's great that you had the chance to connect with Post Malone and that it ultimately led to a job offer. Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences!
