7 years ago I walked into Studio71 as Head of Gaming at 21….the youngest executive in the company.
Before that I was a college dropout getting rejected from every job I applied to. Every MCN passed on me. Nobody wanted to bet on the kid who’d been making YouTube videos since he was 13. Studio71 was the first place that eventually offered me a job but only after I built my own business working with creators.
Yesterday we bought the company.
If you told 21-year-old me this would happen, I would’ve called you crazy. Hell, I still kind of can’t believe it typing this out.
Work your ass off. Bet on yourself when nobody else will. Don’t take no for an answer.
You can make anything happen.
