Hustlenomics Way presents the Toyz Story. How the creation of the intersection of Hip Hop culture and cars gadgets and video games launched Toyz Magazine in 2007. This helped Wole Idowu reach Carnegie Mellon University at 15 in 2012 and appear on CNBC in the 20 Under 20 Transforming Tomorrow documentary with Peter Thiel.

The Toyz journey has designers like Ralph Gilles and artists like 50 Cent intersecting in the industry with coverage that overlaps culture with commerce. Working with Epic Games and EA Games and Esports in 2008!!! Video games by Microsoft on the cover of a hip-hop magazine. They pioneered the intersection of hip-hop and technology.

Damola will discuss how this has become a movement to empower a generation of millions on the same path to become at least 6 figure earners in tech and entrepreneurs with their creativity. Learn how storytelling and content creation and user-generated content for video games opens up pathways to Tech!!!!
