We had the good fortune of connecting with The Voice Of #TTB and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi The Voice, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
I would say that the most important lesson I have learned being an online creative is to never give up. I know it sounds pretty cliché to say but it’s the truth – So many times throughout this 6 year journey I wanted to throw the towel in & find a regular 9 to 5 job. “But I had to keep on going, never knowing if I could take it, If I would make it through the night! but I held on to my faith, I struggled & I prayed & now I’ve found my way” Now sure those are lyrics from Mariah Carey’s song (Make It Happen) but those words ring true to what I’ve learned & been through.

The art of perseverance for me is the greatest thing my online career has taught me – I no longer look at things like a set back like I used too, I now look at it as a set up for an even greater comeback. So many times I had to start over from scratch but each & every time with the lessons I’ve learned along the way I came back stronger & wiser than before. I pushed through & never gave up & I plan on going the distance.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
#TTB Entertainment aka ThirstTrapBoys – is an integrated media, entertainment & adult company that is primarily known for it’s “Entertainment for adults” content. Via YouTube, Twitter & Other Major Social Media Outlets. Our website ThirstTrapBoys.Com serves as our blogsite where we post the latest LGBTQIA gossip, rumors & news.

The site also features our #TTB merchandise – At this time we have a collaboration with LGBTQIA Web Reality star “Drecember” & together we have launched his “The Audacity Of Drecember” Merchandise & in less than 24 hours majority of the merch has been sold. Our YouTube channel “TTBNetwork” has reached over 1 million views in less than two years of being available to the general public & has become the number one platform for the LGBTQIA Web Reality spectrum.

Our #TTB adult content has been hosted by AVNMedia via their internet content subscription service site AVNSTARS – AVNMedia is a publishing, digital media & event management company for the adult entertainment industry. During the last three years our #TTB adult content has been in the top 10 on AVNSTARS. However we will be looking for a new hosting site soon to host our huge adult video library because AVNMedia is closing down AVNSTARS in April 2022 to focus on other aspects of their company’s large portfolio.

I believe what set’s us apart from other people who are in our similar field is that we don’t work inside of a box – we literally do it all from panel shows, podcasts, game show, blogging, live streams, merchandise, interviews, adult content, celeb gossip, web reality news, etc.

We do it all which at times can cause a challenge because people like to place you in boxes! oh you’re a “blogger” oh you’re a “YouTuber” Oh You’re a “Adult content creator” & the answer is yes but to all of it not just one. Folks often want you to pick one box which can create confusion in what we do – We truly do it all & more is on the way. I would like for the world to know that our Brand is open & everyone can be included in what we do if they come along for the ride with an open heart & open mind.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Hmmmm let’s see – Universal Studios Hollywood, The Getty Center, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Griffith Observatory, Rodeo Drive. we can eat at petit Trois … however we would probably just order from uber eats & call it a day if I’m being completely honest lol.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Honestly…..I’d like to shoutout my mental health because it’s been abused throughout the years that’s for sure! lol but we made it through the storm. Now all jokes aside I would like to shoutout my mom for always being supportive in every & anything I ever wanted to do – She is someone who never pressured me into doing anything I didn’t want to do, as long as I was happy she was happy! that relieved so much pressure from me because I would often see my friends parents pressure them into Careers they didn’t want to be in & now they are miserable in their respective fields. I’m so blessed I didn’t have to deal with that growing up, I was never told “You have to be a lawyer” instead I was always asked “What do you want to do with your life?” & even during the moments when my answer would be “I don’t know” my mom would say “That’s alright you’ll figure it out” & she was right because I did.

I would also like to shoutout my partner who I’ve been with going on 5 years now for dealing with my long hours of creative work. It’s not easy being with a person who literally works 24 hours a day, So I am super thankful for him being patient with me throughout this process.
