The game is on.
Let's play.
This is my studio — 8+ businesses built, $25M+ generated, 300M+ reach. 20 years of shipping products and growing communities across tech, media, sports, and the creator economy.
Before you play
Conway's Game of Life
John Conway devised it in 1970. Every cell lives or dies by four rules, and nothing else.
- Lonely: under 2 neighbours, a cell dies
- Happy: 2 or 3, it lives on
- Crowded: 4 or more, it dies
- Born: exactly 3, a cell appears
It is a zero-player game: you set the starting conditions and it runs itself. That is the whole idea behind the studio's name — and behind how I build. Get the conditions right and the thing keeps going without you.
