Transcript

Here every job I've had throughout college? I've had throughout college and how it led me here. I'm shaving at the beach because I have an event to go to and I've been at the beach all day and I have no time to go back home shower get ready so this is gonna have to do. So freshman year I was a virtual assistant for a real estate brokerage in Miami. I was working remotely while trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. And then freshman and sophomore year summer I went back home to Atlantic City New Jersey and I got a job as a food runner at a steakhouse at one of the casinos. For the first time I was making decent money and that job made me learn what it meant to work hard for every dollar. So hard to see with this glare. When I got back to school I used that money and started my first business. It was an FPV drone business where I would wear goggles and fly through luxury real estate and sell that footage to the agents. I built this thing and all. The following summer I went home to continue being a food runner. It was great money. But at the same time I met a few content creators that were making a real living online. I literally looked at what they were doing and I was like I could do that. So I came back to school and started posting consistently about my healthy lifestyle about becoming a better version of myself. And then fast forward to today I get to work with brands that are already a part of my daily routine and one of those is Schick. I've been using the Schick Xtreme 3 disposable razor. It's giving me a close comfortable shave here at the beach and it's become part of my routine before work meetings or whatever my day has in store. So if you're still trying to figure it out, keep going your next opportunity might be right around the corner. Gotta go wash the rest of the shaving cream off.
