Kaelan Moss grew up in difficult circumstances and discovered Salesforce while looking for a way forward. He taught himself the platform, then his family during COVID, and started posting tutorials online that helped hundreds of people get certified and enter the Salesforce ecosystem.
I'm just like everybody else. I'm just a regular guy who decided to teach his family Salesforce and ended up turning it into something that is affecting people all around the world. I grew up in a separate household. I had a single mom and that was difficult for her and also for my dad as well. It was probably the most difficult times of my life going back and forth between households and families. The first time I ever saw it consistently was with my uncle Johnny. I was in long jump at this time and he would tell me every day, you just have to do the work. You have to do what people aren't willing to do. Just things nobody had ever taught me. And he would just instill those into me every single morning. By the time track season came around, it was just like, I have no other option but to succeed. Then won A state championship, third at the Big 12 championships, competed at the US national championship, made it onto Team USA. Then suddenly he passed away. Life took a downward spiral. I started partying a lot, was hanging around the wrong people after that, just kind of on the road to just recovering from this life situation that happened. Someone asked me if I knew about Salesforce and I kind of looked at that like, that's my gold medal. I've got to go. After that. I started my career out as a Salesforce admin and as I was learning, I remember thinking to myself, I have to show other people how to do.
Kaylyn saw how I was working really long nights. He was just like, mom, you just can't do this forever. Let me teach you Salesforce. During COVID we all moved in together. Kaelyn did a very good job at explaining like what it is, what it's used for and how to pick it up really easily.
They actually taught me a lot about myself and my communication with them on how to teach the subject and break it down into simple steps so that even the most basic beginner could learn it. And it only took a few weeks.
We were able to really learn marketing cloud. Once I got my first job and I'm like, oh my gosh, this is crazy. It's so easy.
I started posting on various social media platforms and then as that started snowballing, I started realizing, wait, I'm affecting lives right now. I've pretty much gotten between 500 and 1,000 different messages from people saying I'm either certified or or I am now in the salesforce ecosystem with a full time job.
Kaelyn is very selfless. He helps anyone that reaches out to him really. He helped me he helped my mom.
My mom went from struggling as a single mom all the way to now after learning Salesforce. She's got a nicer car than I do. If I can make one impact on every single person in the community and they can make one impact, how different can the world be in a year from now or five years from now? I'm Kalyn Moss, and I'm a trailblazer.
