I watched this dudes youtube channel where he makes music for years before I ever knew he was the CEO of pateron. It was a bit of a wtf moment when I found out.

Appears to be a full time musician and a part time CEO.

That they should be so lucky to have such a present CEO! Why ours sits on the board of multiple companies in unrelated industries, and manages some entirely unrelated business side of another conglomerate all by himself. Thankfully he's been promised several 10s to 100s of millions of dollars to make our company better now

Turns out, playing the keyboard for a ton of time makes you really good.

Found him with his animatronic video on Instagram later he announced Patreon, I thought that's neat I'm sure it'll help a few people, a few years later it's worth Billions
