He was making MILLIONS each month,
I was just a 9-5 employee...
2 years ago, I worked alongside Iman Gadzhi for a day.
I was the creative lead for an 8M follower personal brand. But...
I had quit my own personal brand, so
I had quit my dreams for a career,
I was SURROUNDED by millionaire personal brands, gaining insider knowledge and strategies.
But what was the point???
I was a 9-5 employee. Until...
Meeting my idol Iman showed me there was a different way...
WHY was I building someone else's dream, someone else's personal brand, when I had all the skills and knowledge to build my OWN?
I QUIT my job.
& was treated like I was NUTS.
But f*ck it. I got to work building my personal brand.
90 days after starting?
- $10,000/mo profit
- Cult-like audience of fans
- Actual impact by helping people
Most importantly? Absolute freedom.
It's been a crazy ride since then, but don't EVER be afraid to relentlessly pursue what YOU want out of life.
You can just do things.
& once you do, you'll end up exactly where you're meant to be.

5 Lessons at 22 i wish i knew before starting...
5/ Stay in your lane
We live in an attention economy
Everyone looks like their winning online, making money.
Focus on you, 1% better everyday.
Stick to one thing, get very good at it and you will succeed.
4/ Surrounding yourself with great people
You've probably seen or heard it hundreds of times:
'You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.'
This couldn't be more true. Find a way to:
Make 6-7 connections online weekly
Attend masterminds/events
Once you’ve done this, you will feel energized and understood.
How I stay focused in the morning:
- 60-90 minute work blocks
- 15-30 minute walks in between
- Order tasks by amount of creativity needed
- Listen to a book or lecture on the walk
This creates a Zeigarnik Effect loop - I rarely finish the task or book in that time block, so my brain wants to keep working / walking, minimal discipline required.
