Staring at your licensed offer wondering "now what?"
With Halloween here tomorrow I thought this would be a FUN and creepy story to tell...
Chadwick here...
So there's this photo from 2002.
Just a random shot taken during a renovation at a Hobbytown USA store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Nothing special about it.
Empty hallways. Weird lighting. Yellow walls.
The kind of pic you'd scroll past in half a second.
In 2019 it became a creepypasta called The Backrooms on 4Chan.
Fast forward to 2022...
A 17-year-old kid named Kane Parsons stumbles across this creepypasta online.
And instead of seeing a single picture with text that says...
"If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.
God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you."
He saw something else entirely.
Using a program called Blender and his wild imagination, Kane created "The Backrooms" - a 9 minute short film that went absolutely viral.
It became this whole online series about a mysterious dimension of endless hallways, strange anomalies, and entities that will kill you.
The story centers on the Async Research Institute trying to connect our world to The Backrooms using their Low Proximity Magnetic Distortion System.
They're trying to solve overpopulation and storage crises.
But things go sideways fast.
Employees start disappearing. The system doesn't work as planned. Async tries to keep it all secret while they keep investigating.
Now here's what gets me...
Kane's entire universe started from ONE photo and a caption.
Just waiting for someone to see it differently.
And now?
It's about to get the Hollywood treatment.
Kane is working on a big budget Hollywood film about The Backrooms coming in 2026.
Beyond Hollywood, the lore of the Backrooms is expanding too.
Other creators are PiggyBANKING off of what Kane started.
Adding their own spin on the story.
Now there's an infinite number of levels ranging from hotel lobbies to empty neighborhoods.
All from one ordinary renovation photo that someone turned into a creepypasta.
See...
That's EXACTLY what happens when you've got a licensed offer sitting there and you don't know what to do with it.
You're staring at it like it's just... there.
But what if you're looking at it wrong?
What if there's a whole brand hiding in that offer you already have rights to?
Thing is...
it's easy for us as PiggyBANKERS to get stuck at this exact spot.
We've got the licensed offer. We know it works. We've seen others crush it with it.
But building a BRAND around it?
That feels like a whole different game.
Where do you even start?
Donnie's the go-to guy for following Travis Sago's Million Dollar Power Hour method.
He's built an entire community around showing how the MPH process can transform assets we already own or have licensing rights to into something new.
One Power Hour at a time.
Just like Kane saw a whole other dimension where everyone else saw a fun creepypasta...
The MPH process helps you see the hidden opportunities in what you already have.
Right now, Donnie's Million Dollar Thinking Skool community is free to join.

P.S. I'm currently playing through a game on Steam called Escape The Backrooms that feels like I'm actually in that world, evading entities and trying to get back to reality... Fun stuff!

We take a branding shortcut with licensing to create a PiggyBANKING Brand that gives us credibility WITHOUT peeps needing to know, like, or trust us.
