We had the good fortune of connecting with Tyler Vrtiska and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Tyler, what is the most important factor behind your success?
One of the most important factor’s behind the success of our business has to be our friends and family. Grease Monkey Gaming wouldn’t be where it’s at today without them! We wouldn’t have content and all the memories of laughing, joking, getting mad, and rage quitting for that perfect clip! Most importantly we wouldn’t be doing it if it wasn’t for YOU! the community. without you guys were nothing. We couldn’t continue to build and make more videos without the support from our awesome community!
Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
Honestly dedication and my friends. We wouldn’t be where we are today without all the streams, clips, and uploads over the years. It definitely wasn’t easy. We didn’t get here overnight I started this company as a hobby back in 2013 and finally after 7 years of dedication, almost giving up countless times, and hard work it’s finally coming together!
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’d suggest to go eat at my favorite restaurant, Dark Horse in Boulder Co. it’s a unique place filled with movie props and some good bar food! After that I’d go hiking on one of the trails around here in Boulder all of them are awesome trails with beautiful views I can’t pick one. I’d also suggest heading up to Nederland and walking around their novelty shops and then head north about a hour and visit Estes Park and watch the guys at Mountain Blown Glass, Inc make some glass art!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shoutout to the whole gaming community, we wouldn’t have started making videos if it wasn’t for all the other creators and the gamers themselves!
