We had the good fortune of connecting with Otis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Otis, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
It all started with a dream. God told me to make buttonz.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
The grind to become the King of Buttonz was difficult but well worth all the sacrifices. I make smart art & smart buttonz. Smart buttonz are digital pin badges that can store and share digital information from one person to another. It was a lot of trial and error that came with the process of building my brand & my products. I’ve learned you can accomplish anything you want in life if you just start and see it through.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well I live in Nashville so I would start with this Mexican bar called Cilantro. Then I’d hit a gaming bar called Up/down. Then I’d definitely go to O’Buttonz World. The best interactive art gallery store that has been created

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?
I want to Shoutout myself my dad & God because that’s really who all believed in me when I first started my business.
