I’m a father of three and a lifelong entrepreneur at heart. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a drive to create something of my own — to build, hustle, and lead with purpose. That’s what led me to launch my first business, The Madhatter AV, back in December of 2021. It all started with a genuine love for hats — the detail, the culture, the craftsmanship — and evolved into something much bigger.

Through The Madhatter AV, I’ve been able to connect with an amazing community, gaining over 7,000 followers on Instagram and building trust within the hat world. From pop-ups and podcasts to sports events and collaborations, I’ve pushed to create not just a brand, but a vibe that people can stand behind. Today, we offer unique hats, pins, t-shirts, blips, and accessories.

In January of 2024, I launched my second venture: Banned Parody — a men's lifestyle brand built around staying true to yourself and moving with purpose. Our slogan is simple: “Stay Humble, Take Initiative.” This brand represents authenticity, grit, and having a voice in the men's community.

Most recently, in January 2025, I opened my physical storefront, La Coleccion 8. This space brings all my visions together — Madhatter AV, Banned Parody, and more — under one roof. It's more than just a shop. It’s a place where people can come in, connect, and experience the energy in real life. We carry our own merch alongside essentials like Pro Club, Shaka, and other hand-picked men’s apparel and accessories. My goal for La Coleccion 8 is to expand into a space that offers good vibes, creativity, and a break from the chaos of everyday life.

Every move I make is about community, culture, and growth — and I’m just getting started.

Yours Truly, Felix O.
