I've always been in love with electronics.
Growing up, I would always be using my sister's iPad until I finally got my own. I grew up playing around with everything I could on the iPad, as well as watching YouTubers like PopularMMOs and jacksepticeye, both of whom were my main inspirations. One Christmas, my dad got me my very own laptop, and it's all history from there. I self-taught myself everything I now know about how to work with UIs, configuring things, gaming, recording & uploading videos, the list goes on-and-on. In 2016, I actually began recording mockup gameplay videos using the unregistered version of Bandicam. I hadn't created my channel yet though, so these videos were solely just for fun. I still have all of these videos backed up, but they're far too cringy and bad to release...
I've had a lot of fortunate experiences growing up.
My family (both my mom and my dad) is very into traveling, so I've had the opportunity to go to many amazing places like Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; Las Vegas, NV; Honolulu, HI; Washington, D.C.; London, England; Paris, France; Rome, Italy; Niagara Falls, NY & Canada; many Caribbean islands like the Bahamas, USVI, BVI, Dominican Republic, Sint Maarten, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao; and more. I documented many of the more recent trips on FindPenguins, which you can view here. I am forever thankful for these wonderful experiences with my family.

Things have been challenging, though.
As is true of anybody, I've had my fair share of life challenges: Twice divorced parents, life in a small town where I don't fit in, being targeted because I don't play sports at school, an ex-girlfriend that ended in, let's just say, a mess. And that's just the beginning. There's always so much I want to do but not enough time in a day; I tend to trade sleep for more time to work on projects (I'm actually writing this at 5 AM). Above that, there are many scenarios where my work on projects was disregarded because I was "too young". Though, assuming I can make it through my senior year of high school, outlook is shining bright at the University of Central Missouri (my future college).
I'm beyond thankful for all of my friends.
Through lows, hardships, outbursts, and just dull moments, my closest friends have been there. My true closest friend is my mom; she has always been there for me through everything, even when I didn't deserve it (which I most certainly didn't). I love you, mom! I don't know where I would be without her and everyone else that helped to build me as a person. I owe so much to them and I'm forever thankful for everyone I've had the privilege to meet, whether from family, other friends, school, online, etc.

What now and what's next?
Right now, I'm continuing to produce short-form content, hoping to livestream some more, and the biggest thing I keep mentioning, I'm working on music! I used to never listen to music, but ever since a few years ago it's become the essence of who I am. I listen to hours of music every day. I bought a piano keyboard, and I'm practicing songs I would love to do a piano + vocal cover for, so that's probably the first thing to watch for. Take these with a grain of salt though, as I have to prioritize school first. Last semester alone I took 7 college classes and 1 high school class, and this semester is very similar, so the workload is quite high. It'll all be worth it though!
Thank you. For everything.
I'm so lucky to be in the position that I'm in, and I'm thankful for everything. To every person I talk to, every like, save, comment, subscriber, viewer, listener, player, and you for reading this: Thank you! Content creation has shaped who I am today, and I can't wait to continue building up the BTheEPIC Entertainment™ brand together!
With love, gratitude, and all the best wishes,
Brayden Hustead
