His follower base was primarily gained from a VibeSociety podcast mental health clip, ABC7’s “Party with a Purpose" segment, and Modern MBA's YouTube documentary, “The Secret Business of Nightclubs."In nightlife, he was an independent host in Vegas and has held management roles and promoted for many of the top Chicago nightclubs over the last 15+ years. The last 4 years have been spent curating and hosting 7 different theme parties unlike any others the industry has seen.

During this time, he found that many people who work in and frequent the nightlife scene were unhappy, which began his journey with mental health advocacy. After 30 years of illicit drug and alcohol use, he has gone semi-sober (besides cannabis and psychedelics).

His passion is to inspire and serve others. Eric is now purely focused on achieving his goals and taking care of his mother since losing his father in June 2023.
