Where I've shown up — in conversation, on stage, and in front of a microphone. A working archive of the interviews that matter.
Katoya sat down with her best friend Eric for a long-form conversation — the kind you only get after a decade of showing up for each other. From growing up in Louisiana, to moving to the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation at 8, to founding ToyBox Consulting — this is the wide-frame version of the story.
They cover: what she actually does as a fractional COO ("I take nothing and make it into something"), why she calls herself a composer of experiences, the corporate harm that pushed her toward mindfulness, the moment she stopped letting other people set her goals, Cameron heading to UW, and the difference between a shell and a butterfly's wings.
Also: the Golden Hour event announcement, the Gucci Mane book recommendation that surprised no one, and one piece of free game — stay sucker free.
I take nothing and make it into something.
