After a technical difficulty delay in the release, we're finally back with one of our most packed episodes yet—Season 3 Episode 8 of Life of a Content-Creating College Student! This episode marks a historic milestone as we welcome a full cast of five voices to the podcast: Luis Solis, Luis Espinoza, Hayden-Niewhal Thomas, Charlotte Waite, and yours truly, WayneZ0207™️. Together, we dive into the recent whirlwind of excitement at Oregon Tech and beyond. From winning the Encore Award at Catalyze Klamath for my youth development concept Youthtopia, to traveling for the grad school trip in Portland (yes, there was a hot tub involved), this episode is jam-packed with growth, laughter, and tears—literally, as Charlotte shares how the TOP Honors speech moved her to tears. 😭✨

Academically, I’ve been burning through projects faster than Nintendo can brick your emulator (don’t worry—we talk about that too). I’ve been tackling my final projects for PSY 347, BUS 326, and STAT 243Z, and managed to finish MIS 206 early after wrapping up a major paper on automation’s industry-wide impact. Meanwhile, content creation hasn’t stopped. I’ve been putting DaVinci Resolve Studio 20’s Beta Version 3 through its paces, using its 78 neural engines and AI-driven tools to remaster content—upscaling the Catalyze stream to stunning 4K HDR. And yes, the editor is more demanding than OBS with 20 Chrome tabs open, but worth every crash for that visual gold. 💻🔥

Shout out to Dr. Wilson for IDEAfest sponsorship, Miguel Figueroa for his project management insights, and creator credit to Dantic (check out his flight class gaming adventures here and Screen Rant for their awesome Star Wars blogs! 🌟🎙️

Don’t forget: new episodes are available on YouTube, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Facebook, and Amazon Music!

Hey folks, welcome to Season 3 Episode 7 of Life of a Content-Creating College Student, also known as the WayneZ0207 channel's 5th Anniversary Special! In this episode, I reflect on the incredible journey of balancing academia and content creation, and celebrate the evolution of our work over the past five years—from the humble beginnings of Hurst Entertainment with the original trio (myself, GlVikingFisherman63, and MattDC123) to the multifaceted projects we’re tackling today.

Academically, the last two weeks have been transformative. I secured a nomination supported by glowing recommendation letters from Alex, Professor Kivatinos, Clint, Professor Hallie Neupert, and Dahiana Padilla, and both Charlotte and I shared the Creator Legacy Award at our 5th Anniversary Celebration. I was also invited on an inspiring trip to Portland to explore graduate schools while earning TOP Honors for the third consecutive year. These experiences underscore how every academic challenge is an opportunity to unlock not just individual success, but the success of our entire community.

On the creative side, we’ve grown tremendously. I learned valuable lessons from ethical leadership, effective public speaking, and in-class experiments that remind us that content creation is a form of personal selling. We also recognized our journey through the 5th Anniversary Awards Ceremony. Congratulations to our award winners: the shared Creator Legacy Award to Charlotte Waite and me, the Stupendous Second-in-Command Award to Charlotte Waite, the Life of the Creator Award to Alex Lumbreras, and the Punchline Pandemonium Award to GlVikingFisherman63. And, of course, we can’t forget the Sinister Stream Scoundrel Award—a victory for the Gatekeeper that we mock every chance we get!

Thank you for being part of this adventure as we continue to break barriers, refine our skills, and push the limits of creativity. Stay tuned for more epic moments as we keep bridging the gap between academic rigor and multimedia innovation.

Hey folks! In this episode, we bounce back from a long, snowy hiatus and get back into the groove of academia and content creation. Recovering from snow week wasn’t easy, but it gave me a chance to regroup, get my classes in order, and experiment with new creative techniques. On the academic front, I tackled BUS 356 with low-res presentations and started gearing up for high-res projects, aced Exam 1 in PHIL 342 while diving into an Ethics Leadership Certification project, and wrapped up biopsychology in PSY 201Z—complete with an unexpected rickroll during chapter 3 review! BUS 335 had me researching the feasibility of our Catalyze idea, reinforcing the power of practical learning.On the content creation side, after not streaming for over a year, I recorded a no-commentary Tekken Tag Tournament playthrough on MAME, using my high-spec rig to bring some much-needed energy back into the mix. This playthrough—featuring pure gameplay with Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima—was a refreshing break from monotony, even though the Atmosfear Streamloots Tournament remains on hold. A special thanks to guest Stacey McCauley and a shoutout to StridingSpark for their inspiration. Join me as we level up our academic journey and creative endeavors!

Welcome to the first episode of Life of a Content-Creating College Student in 2025! This week, we dive into new academic and creative ventures, highlighting the challenges and wins of balancing both worlds.🎆 In academia, we’re making arrangements for a project related to the Ethics Leadership Certification Program by the NASBA Center for Public Trust, navigating entrepreneurial challenges with classmates, and prepping for upcoming presentations and exams.

Season 3 kicks off with a bang! 🎳 In this episode, I reflect on an unforgettable day bowling with my cousins, Tyler and Tayahna, where the real challenge wasn’t just knocking down pins, but navigating life as a content creator and college student. And if you think that’s the highlight, wait until you hear about my journey of self-discovery through the OCEAN Model questionnaire.
