The first picture is my mugshot. ...

The second picture is me now...

Let's rewind:

I was sitting in the back of a beat-up Honda Civic surrounded by empty beer cans...

...Sporting the kind of grin that only comes from doing something you probably shouldn't.  

The air smelt like rain and trouble.

Then I heard a BANG that was way louder than expected.  

This isn't a scene from a movie…  

It's just another Tuesday for teenage me.

My buddies and I thought we were the kings of the world when really, we were just a bunch of kids playing with fire... literally.

We'd just turned a mailbox into an improvised fireworks show, and it wasn’t even the 4th of July. 

Looking back, I can't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. 

But at the time, we thought we were invincible. 

That is until the universe decided to give me a serious wet willy that altered my life forever.  

You see, that innocent mailbox wasn’t so innocent at all…  

Why?  

The mailbox belonged to a police officer.  

Yeah, talk about bad luck. And to add some spice to this shit-flavored curry mess… 

It was my third run-in with the law before I even turned 18.  

When the officer looked me in the eyes he told me about my future:  

“You're with going to prison or the grave”.

He literally said that. 

Given my track record, I couldn't blame him... 

But life has a funny way of proving people wrong…  

After dropping out of school and landing a job as a janitor, I hit rock bottom.  

How come?  

Well, my first day on the job was an 18-hour day, cleaning bathrooms for the Winter Special Olympics… (I’ll let your mind fill in the blanks with what happened that day.)

Because I was so freaking broke I’d eat chicken fingers out of garbage cans. 

 I’d spend my skin-burning winter nights scraping the snow-covered parking lots. 

 I prayed to find some change for gas money…only to find pennies most of the time…  

That’s when I finally got my hard-earned realization.

Realization?  

If I wanted a different life, I needed to invest in myself and learn a skill that society rewarded.  

But here's the thing—just like my misguided mailbox shenanigans…  

Following the crowd and society's standards WILL lead you astray.

I’ll explain why this common advice could actually REVERSE your progress (like it did mine).

You see… 

Becoming an electrician seemed like a solid plan.  

So I became an electrician. 

It was good money and had lots of travel opportunities...  

What's not to love?  

Well for starters, I found myself working insane hours in extreme conditions, feeling lonelier than ever. 

I spent over a decade alone in hotels surrounded by beer cans like that beat-up old Honda Civic in the teenage fireworks fiasco.  

I got a gig traveling the world, but it didn't fill the void.  

Even though I had money in my pockets… 

 …I still felt like the douchebag kid eating chicken fingers out of garbage cans. 

 Despite changing my external world, my inner world was still a mess.  

Because my inner hero's journey never started...  

I was missing something crucial—creativity, a true outlet for my thoughts and ideas.  

Something no job, no matter the adventure would provide. That outlet for creativity had to be built with my own hands…

But how?  

Fast forward to a dingy hotel room with the world's worst wifi, in Liberia, Monrovia…

I stumbled upon "The 4-Hour Work Week."

My mind fucking exploded.

From a gunshot wound?  

OF COURSE NOT. 

From the realization that making money online, being my own boss, and living life on my terms was possible with the internet.  

But dreams are tricky.  

Why?  

Because dreams don't just materialize when you throw mental tantrums from wanting them so bad.  

I learned that the hard way, blowing thousands on useless courses and “gurus” like Johnny Depp on a bender in Vegas. 

Have you done the same?  

Knowing what the final destination is, but being scammed by countless internet imposters?  

Getting scammed SO MUCH you don’t even know how to take the first step in the right direction?  

Then, in a moment that reeked of "screw it, I've got nothing left to lose," 

I spilled my guts on Twitter. 

 I shared my story. 

 And holy shit it EXPLODED like fireworks in a mailbox.

2,550 likes, 485 retweets, 101 comments, 516,000 views...

And my following doubled overnight.

People actually cared about what I had to say.  

I couldn’t believe it.  

I had a voice and people listened. 

That was the moment I realized storytelling wasn't just some party trick… 

 …it was my freakin' Excalibur. 

 I wrote stories every day. I couldn’t stop… 

I learned how to write stories that got attention, built trust, deepened relationships, and of course made money… 

And I started going viral over and over... 

Thousands of people joined my newsletter. 

I got DMs from people who wanted me to write their stories, not just on social media… 

…but in their emails and sales pages. 

My first client paid me $1,000 a month. 

My next client paid me $2,000 a month. 

And now I charge clients $5,000 a month. I ditched my day job, hopped on a plane to Brazil, and made out like some hero in a romance novel... 

Why?  

Because I met the love of my life—all because I decided to buddy up with my storytelling mojo.

I made +$20,000 in 5 days.

That was what I made in 1.5 months as an electrician (without the hard labor)... 

Now, I'm not just some guy who got lucky and hit the social media lottery.  

I just built a system that makes stories go viral on social media. 

And not just for me, but for my friends and clients.  

I want to help you unleash your storytelling superpowers. 

 I want to be the spider that bites you and turns you into a web-slinging story superhero like Spiderman.  

It's not just about making money (though that's a nice perk).  

It's about finding freedom, creativity, and fulfillment.  

If you're tired of feeling stuck, if you're ready to take control of your story and where it leads, I've got something for you. 

Want to tell stories like this?
