On this episode of The Terran Lamp Show, Terran welcomes Astin Hayes—award-winning entrepreneur, creator, and community builder. Astin gets real about her journey from idea to app, how “Tip-Off Games” became a digital hub for Black culture and learning, and why flexibility and authenticity matter in games and life. Hear how tech and creativity helped her bridge generations, adapt to pandemic times, and launch new dreams like Inherit, a legacy planning platform for families. From navigating obstacles as a Black woman in STEM, to building packs and packs of game cards for every corner of the culture, Astin's drive to unite people for fun—and real talk—shines through. Plus: advice for young women in STEM, handling cancel culture (and player haters!), and how joyful play builds true community in Chicago and beyond.
