What happens when a random plane encounter turns into a thriving creative partnership fueled by memes, storytelling, and community connection?
In this lively episode, John and Steven sit down with two creators who turned a shared sense of humor and a knack for capturing attention into something bigger than they imagined. From chance conversations in an exit row to building a meme account that exploded overnight, their journey shows how consistency, vulnerability, and a willingness to take risks can change everything.
You’ll hear about the highs and lows of building an online brand, why memes became their secret weapon for growth, and how they use humor to spark deeper conversations about culture, entrepreneurship, and belonging. Along the way, they reflect on the dopamine rush of likes, the challenges of staying authentic, and the importance of building something real—beyond the algorithms.
Expect laughs, behind-the-scenes lessons from viral posts, and a candid look at how creativity and connection can take you further than you think (sometimes starting at 30,000 feet).
