Dope As Yola (aka Thomas Araujo) is more than just a viral storyteller — he’s one of the most influential cannabis creators on the internet. With over 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and hundreds of millions of views across platforms, Thomas built a devoted global following through cinematic storytelling, unfiltered honesty, and an unmatched work ethic. He’s also the founder of Push Trees, a grassroots cannabis-inspired streetwear brand that grew into a cultural staple — securing national shelf space at Zumiez and regularly selling out exclusive drops. Whether it’s content creation, product design, or live appearances, Thomas has become a creative force across multiple industries.

Marty O’Neill is a multi-faceted producer, creative director, and founder of Drastic Graphics — a boutique media company behind branding, design, and video campaigns for some of the biggest names in entertainment. He’s worked with Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Adam Carolla, and Josh Wolf, and contributed to major commercial campaigns for Apple, Google, Netflix, T-Mobile, and the NFL, among many others. Marty is also an Amazon best-selling author (Full-Time Podcaster), a TEDx speaker, and the driving force behind the visual and strategic success of Dope As Usual.
