Out of all the incredible milestones in 2024, my proudest moment came from this amazing 1000 person event I put together called TonicCon. People flew from all over the world to attend the 2-day festival in LA.

If you’d like to get a sense of what it was like to be there, check out the vlog I made which was just published (https://youtu.be/1LLVhfSap9k) as well as a documentary that dives deeper into the behind-the-scenes of the team that made it all happen (https://youtu.be/kFYLoLDLqQE) 🎥
