In fact, the video became so popular that this Chewbacca mask completely sold out around the world. That video is known as Chewbacca mom and the original video alone received over 140 million views. What is user-generated content? Well, it’s stuff like a video of a mom laughing hysterically while wearing a Chewbacca mask.

And we’re doing an update because Jonathan Skogmo, founder of Jukin Media, has some pretty big news… recently he sold his company for a reported $140 million dollars. This is an update to an episode we did a while back in April of 2020. In addition to creating the show Trese, Oliva is working on other projects at Netflix such as reuniting with Zach Snyder after their original partnership during Man of Steel. He's also launched his own animation studio and production company, “Lex and Otis” and “Lex on Orange Productions”, in 20 respectively. Nowadays, he teaches Cinematic Storyboard courses at his alma mater, Loyola Marymount University. His first break was an opportunity at Marvel which came just in time and had him narrowly avoiding gang violence in Orange County. Inspired by comics and the animated cartoons of his childhood, he's climbed his way up to work with major production companies such as Marvel, Netflix, and Warner Bros. Jay Oliva is an LA-based storyboard artist, film producer, and animated film director. Inspired, he decided to pursue his passion for filmmaking, quit his job, and create Jubilee Media which seeks to demonstrate the common ground between people and foster empathy in a divided world. Jason would make a video that accumulated 10,000 views in a single week and raised hundreds for the cause. Committed to do something, he decided to film himself bussing at a New York subway station. The turning point of Jason's life began on his 22nd birthday when the Haiti earthquake taught him the importance of empathy. That same emptiness remained even as he began making 6 figures at Bain and Company. He assumed his problems would be solved but eventually realized that he still wasn’t fulfilled. Regardless, he moved forward on the "right" path and attended the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Initially that was ok with Jason, but there was something missing. School was important because it led to a “respectable job”, that job being a doctor, a lawyer, or an engineer. They even said school is “like Disneyland but better…”. Jason Lee grew up in Kansas raised by a family who idolized education. If there’s anything to be learned from Ege’s story, it is this: With time, patience, and endurance, success is never too far out of reach. Instead, he saw each “No” as an opportunity to simply try again and each “Maybe” as a reason to push himself harder.
Though these obstacles might have broken anyone else’s spirit, they did not break Ege’s. He received one decline after another when seeking influencers to help promote his brand. He grappled with the rejection of a big-time investor in the early days of TUTUNJ. Along his journey, Ege faced an inordinate number of “No’s” compared to “Yes’s”. However, what makes Ege’s story truly inspiring are not only the victories he celebrated but also the challenges he braved. Since then, TUTUNJ has seen its products donned and praised by superstar models Meredith Mikelson and Alessandra Ambrósio. Initially he started with nothing but a few designs in his head and the encouragement of some friends. Born in Turkey, Ege's flair for design led him to found the clothing brand TUTUNJ.
