Honored to be named on the @forbes 30 Under 30 list for Advertising and Marketing.
Looking back on the past 7 years with @sixtwentysixco , it’s crazy to think how far we’ve come from dropping out of school to chase an idea, to building something that’s now being recognized at this level.
I’m grateful for an incredible business partner, @austinbarbera , and a team that’s made all of this possible. It’s been a wild ride, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
🐍 “BOA” by Megan Thee Stallion x @sixtwentysixco won 3 Telly Awards! ✨

The music video begins with a group of teens playing a dangerous video game, facing the ultimate boss — Megan Thee Stallion as the Serpent Woman — only to realize the game comes to life. Blending a virtual world, gaming, and anime/cosplay, it’s a bold, high-energy spectacle.
