This week on Vault Broadcast, we sit down with UK-based creator Rhys Wilson, better known as Slocum's Joe Official. From humble beginnings collecting Fallout gear and unboxing Nuka-Cola bottles on TikTok, Rhys has grown into one of the most active Fallout community leaders on the scene—co-founding the Wild Wastelanders Market, helping others join the Bethesda Brand Ambassador program, and turning passion into purpose.
We talk about how he built his brand from scratch (including the clever choice of name), why unboxings matter in a world of overpriced collectibles, and the challenges of being a small creator in an algorithm-driven landscape. This is a candid, heartfelt, and motivating episode about burnout, community, and sticking with it even when the numbers stall out.
Whether you're a seasoned Fallout fan or just love the grind of growing online, this is a conversation full of takeaways, real talk, and inspiration.
➡️ Our YouTube video premieres at 4:00 PM ET today.
