In this episode, we sit down with Ethan Brown — known creatively as Otholvin — to explore his remarkable evolution from sound engineer to multidimensional artist. Ethan opens up about how sound became both his craft and his compass, leading him from the technical world of engineering into music, storytelling, and deeper self-expression.

We dive into the creation of his experimental project The Tutorial, the immersive storytelling behind his audio drama The Liar’s Tales, and the emotional and artistic growth that shaped both works. Ethan reflects on finding purpose through creativity, rebuilding his identity after losing his previous account, and discovering what it truly means to evolve as an independent artist.

This conversation is a thoughtful blend of music, mindset, and meaning — perfect for listeners interested in production, artistic development, personal transformation, and the courage to pursue a new creative path.

Listen as Ethan shares:
• Why he shifted from engineering into music
• How sound helps him explore purpose and identity
• The creative process behind The Tutorial and The Liar’s Tales
• Milestones he wants to achieve next
• What success means to him today

As a Black and immigrant woman, structure isn’t just a luxury; it’s a form of power. Life often demands that you juggle multiple identities: professional, caregiver, dreamer, and survivor. Without a clear sense of structure, it’s easy to drown in expectations that were never designed with you in mind. Structure becomes your quiet rebellion—a way to define your own rhythm, set boundaries, and prioritize what truly matters. It helps you transform chaos into clarity and turn your dreams into daily actions. Through structure, you create consistency where uncertainty once lived and build systems that protect your peace and progress. Whether it’s setting morning routines, financial goals, or emotional check-ins, structure enables you to lead your life intentionally, rather than reactively. Remember, structure isn’t rigidity; it’s your roadmap to freedom, balance, and self-ownership.
