1. You're afraid of writing that post

2. You think you're not good enough.

3. You're scared of replying in the comments.

4. You don't want to be called a FRAUD.

Well, spoiler alert ⚠ ↓

I was afraid too, but I slayed my fears and I got the WIN. Here's my story...

___________________

It was a cold Friday night, 11:32 pm. I was sipping my white coffee when I saw the post on X.

I almost spilled the coffee, as I cursed out loudly... Holy sh*ttt!

It was a $10,000 video contest, 10 f*cking grand!

One winner, winner takes it all.

Is this my big break?

I called my buddy/videographer, King Anyi, and shouted excited over the phone...

"𝙔𝙤, 𝙗𝙧𝙤... 𝙒𝙚'𝙫𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙡𝙚𝙩'𝙨 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧".

But he said he wasn't in town, and would recommend someone else to me.

I didn't want someone else, I wanted someone who will sacrifice skin in the game, I wanted King Anyi, so...

I gave up on the whole idea, I was afraid I couldn't pull off creating a great content with Anyi not being in town.

Don't stop reading ↓↓

___________________

Then on Sunday, after the preacher's sermon, I grabbed my fears by the balls.

I called Anyi 📱, took the recommendation, and set up a new plan to create a $10k winning content.

- I had 5 days to do this.
- I had a $150 budget.
- I had a team of 5.
- I was anxious.

But here is what we did ↓

• I wrote the scripts and did my facials on Monday.

• I went to the saloon to do a box braid with Brazillian wool on Tuesday.

• Rehearsed and spent the whole of Wednesday shooting the video with my team.

• Sent the video files 📂 interstate to Anyi on Thursday, to edit (5+ hours drive).

• Got the deliverable video file 12:00pm on Friday from Anyi, and submitted before the 05:00pm deadline.

It was a "fast and furious" kind of production.

I felt like Vin Diesel and a bit of Dwayne Johnson!

Did we win? Read on to find out ↓

___________________

I had just got back home from watching the games with my brothers on Saturday.

I had pasta cooking on the stove when I saw the announcement post.

The results were out.

I LOST.

I f*cking lost.

I gave this my all.

→ Time.
→ Money.
→ Sleepless nights.

And I FAILED.

The next two days were hell.

I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.

I felt I wasn't good enough.

I felt like a fraud.

So I picked up my writing pad and went back to creating content (My 9 to 5).

Then it happened ↓

___________________

Another opportunity to win $2000 grand prize from @SamuelXeus's contest.

I had my doubts and bias, and remember...

I had crushed my fears earlier by the balls and it punched me in the face, so...

→ What do I have to lose now 🤷‍♀️?

I wrote the thread, as creatively as I could, and attached my video to it (My pinned post).

I submitted alongside 500+ other participants.

I didn't think I could win, at least not the $2k grand prize.

Guess what???

___________________

I WON! (I'm tearing up right now 🤧).

I f*cking won the grand PRIZE.

I cried, I laughed, I cried again.

It still feels surreal.

An underdog.

This was not the end ↓↓

___________________

2 hours later, I won the grand prize of another writing contest.

Currently in collaboration with top Web3 projects, creating content.

There's more to say, but...

I want to stop the tears from pouring out... lol 😂 ☺.

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽.

Grab your fears by the balls.

Do that thing, what's the worst that could happen?

Instead of thinking → what if I don't win?

Think → what if I win?

Yeah, you might not win, but...

Just keep showing up, eventually you will win.

My big win is coming, your big win is coming.

And I believe this with all my being.

You've got this Champ!

PS: Grabbing my fears by the balls, I will be hosting my first 𝕏 space this Friday. Turn on 🔔!

This is a serious tweet for once

Got a ton of questions about how I started the firm so young or what I’d recommend you do etc etc

I figured that after all these years I’d finally address it head on with some transparency

The path that got me where I am today is irreproducible because am a walking anomaly

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
– Albert Camus

If life fuck you up badly enough positives emerge

Was born with bleeding disorders and got hospitalized for most of my childhood

Thing is when people imagine what it’s like to grow up in a hospital, they tend to think only of the hardships that directly affect the child

But that’s barely 5% of it

Trust me, I’d know lol

No

What actually ends up breaking you is what happens to those around you

Watching your only friends, the ones you made because the hospital was your entire world, die right in front of you, again, and again, while you keep on living and wonder why you keep getting second chances yet everyone arounds you doesn’t

Hearing kids scream in agony for hours at night until they end up rupturing their vocal cords

Or simply from seeing the pain that your situation causes on your loved ones, who’ve cried so much that no tears are coming out no more

But hold on before typing your pity filled comments lol

As I said above, if it’s bad enough good things come out of it

If someone is under constant pain and stress, at some point, in order to survive, his brain rewires itself as a form of coping mechanism

In my case it created complete mental apathy

I think it started little by little but at some point I just stopped feeling emotions. To this day I feel nothing, it’s neither good or bad, am just numb

But something a lot weirder happened

I think because I felt so much survival guilt and incomprehension the only way I could accept my situation was by convincing myself that I was the chosen one lol

If I kept surviving it meant that the universe had chosen me to accomplish great things, and for reasons I still don’t really understand, it developed a soldier like mentality

I stopped complaining

Like I was 10, in pain post-surgery and I’d be like stop being a bitch and tank it lol

But above all it gave me like, idk lol, indomitable grit?

I think the only purpose my brain could find in order to harness and use this was by using it to make it right

To achieve great things for my friends who were never given the chance to try, to give my mom and sister a better life so that they hadn’t gone through all of this for nothing etc etc

I know that from an outside perspective this prob doesn’t sound very healthy, and perhaps you can’t comprehend it, but it never felt that way for me, it just gave me purpose

That’s why I left my family at 11 after I got a scholarship to go to boarding school, to this day it’s still the most important decision I made in my life it kickstarted everything

It’s hard to explain

Like when I got FTX’ed almost for it all I kept working as if nothing had happened like a psychopath and I was back at it the next day

I am 25 today and a while back I got to pay off my moms debts and financially support her and my sister who otherwise would have to rely only on welfare

The only reason that happened is because of how the above shaped me to become who I am today

It’s utterly insane to say but you couldn’t craft better character traits for financial success

Imagine if setbacks had close to no impact on you, that’s how I feel

I like to think that I was born with horrific luck and to balance it out the universe rewarded me with that lol

All that to say

I can’t teach you guys shit about anything

My only tip is to find a reason bigger than yourself

When life inevitably fucks you, it’s a whole lot easier to keep going if you’re not only doing it for your own gain

I’d be flipping burgers today if I was doing it for myself and myself only and that’s a fact

I authorize all of you to say that you worked for Beni industries, aka Galvani Capital LLC, at any point from 2019-2025 when I dissolved it

Say that you were either an intern or a quantitative analyst

In the off chance they actually reach out to me, trust me to tell them all about how exceptional you were and how lucky they’d be to have you
