It seems a sizable portion of Lost Boys Interactive was laid off today, including myself. Still trying to understand the scope of it all, but sadly - this is a song and dance we're all familiar with. If you need a producer or looking to fill a specific role - I'm happy to meet and recommend old teammates.

Being in the same boat as many of our company, it was an absolute pleasure working with you, Jared! For those who don't know, he is one of the best producers I have had the pleasure working with for sure, organization, keeping up with tasking, managing expectations, all of it, it was amazing how much we got done and at what quality with the insane deadlines we were given. Just another great friend made within the industry!

5moFor any potential recruiters or hiring managers reading this, Jared is bar none one of the finest producers I’ve worked with. That’s not hyperbole. Him and I have been huddled in calls solving problems on the fly and making sure things have run smoothly. He’s a great problem solver and is the guy to step up when action needs to be taken. Jared I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been affected. Good luck with everything and reach out anytime.
