After months of silence, I’m finally opening up about where I’ve been, why I disappeared, and what’s been happening behind the scenes. In this late‑night walking livestream, I talk honestly about losing my job, shutting down my studio, stepping away from social media, and trying to rebuild my life from the ground up.
As I mention in the stream, “my whole online presence is pretty much wiped… I’ve been off for the majority of this year” and “I lost my job last summer… had to basically break down the whole studio.”
I also share what’s next for the channel, my creative plans, and how I’m trying to stay grounded spiritually while navigating one of the toughest seasons of my life. “It feels like you’re being grabbed by the back of the neck and pushed through the mud.”
If you’ve been here since the early days — the comedy sketches, the remixes, the studio podcasts — thank you. This channel isn’t going anywhere. I’m rebuilding, regrouping, and figuring out the next chapter.
If you’re new here, welcome to Upside Down Creative Media.
