A 22-year-old from Rochester, NY is moving to Salt Lake City to join an e-commerce house after finding the opportunity on Twitter. He wants mentorship from founders with real exits and plans to build his own brand instead of dropshipping. He's driving 30-plus hours solo and leaving behind family and his girlfriend to step out of his comfort zone.
Yo, what's going on, boys? Hope you guys are doing well. I wanted to make this quick video, so I got some news for y'. All. I'm gonna be moving out of my hometown on Wednesday, so probably be uploading this Monday night, so, you know, within a day. And I kind of just want to share my thoughts on, you know, like, why I'm doing it, you know, what the future holds for me, and just kind of, like, talk about it because, you know, I know there's a lot of people who know a lot of people dream about moving out of their hometowns or even consider it, or even if you don't consider it and you're like, you want to stay there forever? Maybe this will shed some light on what you actually should be doing. So I've lived here since freshman year in high school. Before that, I moved around a little bit. I've lived in Arizona. I've lived in Kansas, actually. So I've lived in a few different places, even Nebraska. So now I'm in, you know, upstate New York, Rochester. And, like, there's. I've gotten to a point where, you know, I'm doing well with E Commerce. You know, I've made some connections here and there, but, like, there's just not much for me here. My family is here, and I love my family. I'm super grateful for them. And even, like, my girlfriend's here, for example, and I love her, but in terms of my, like, career and my personal development, like, just this kind of like, the. Even, like, the environment I'm in, it's just not built for growth. Like, there's not really anyone here who does what I do. And I live in a decent. Like, Rochester is not like, a small. Like, it's a. It's a decent sized city, but there's just not, like, anyone here who really does econ like that or anyone that I, like, actually want to, like, link up with and learn from and, like, surround myself with. And so I've never really had the opportunity to, like, move into a place where, you know, I'm working with dudes who've done it, you know, people who are, like, very successful. And, you know, this past month, like, knowing my lease was coming up soon, like, I. I was just praying and praying, and it's like, you know, God, like, I would love the opportunity to leave here and just, you know, try something out and to, you know, maybe just get a fresh start, even just, like, you know, a new environment, you know, because new environments, they can. I know they can help. So Much help change you. You know, you can just have a nice fresh start, you know, do what you want to do, you know, be who you want to be. You can change yourself if you want. I don't see myself changing too much, only for the better. But like, I just, that's something that, you know, I was willing to do because, you know, with the kind of job I have, the career I've chosen, like, why not travel? Why am I not traveling? Why am I not trying new things out? Like, I'm 22 years old. I need to get out of my comfort zone a little bit and grow. And that's ultimately what I decided to do. I was lucky enough to stumble across a Twitter post and of these, these guys wanting to do an ecom house in Utah. So that's where I'm going to be going, Salt Lake City. And it's a really, really beautiful home. Seems like a really good group of guys. So I'm really excited to, you know, meet them, you know, get to know them well and to even learn from them because I know that, you know, some of those, some of those guys are doing very, very well for themselves and you know, have gotten massive exits and you know, no, like, they're not like just these, you know, drop shipping dudes. They're like, you know, legit e commerce brand people, if that makes sense. And so that's something that I, I want to learn and something that I want to shift towards because I don't want to just be doing drop shipping forever. Obviously. I want to grow out of that. So my dreams always have been like, to like have like your own, you know, custom product, brand, whatever you want to call it, that would be amazing. And so, you know, God's. I've been so grateful because God has, you know, supplied me with the opportunity to actually go out and learn this. So yeah, I'm fairly excited. So I got a 30 something hour road trip ahead of me this, you know, this week. So going to be filming that for you guys. Gonna be driving across United States, you know, pretty much by myself. By myself. I don't know why I say pretty much just me and my thoughts and you know, can be filming it. You know, I don't know if I'll stop anywhere cool or not. We'll see. But yeah, like, it's just like this is like the first time of me doing something like this, you know, being somewhere where I'm not necessarily with family or have family around me. And I feel like for a lot of people that's gonna be scary, but for me, like, I don't know, I've built myself up enough, and I've. I've lost and I've failed so much that, like, I know I'm gonna land on my feet and I'm gonna be okay. Like, I trust 100% God and what he's got planned for me. So, like, although it might be scary, like, it's gonna be worth it, and I'm gonna grow from it. So that's kind of a little update. This is what the apartment looks like now. Almost all packed up, sleeping on the floor. So set up. Still got the setup going, but probably gonna pack that up tonight. Yeah, man. So, you know, keep. Keep tuned. Like, it's gonna be some really cool content. Like I said, I'm be rooming with some cool dudes, shooting some. Some cool shit for you guys. And so, like, I'm very excited. I'm very excited, very blessed. And I just found a nail on the ground that's just kind of a little update of what's, you know, bound to happen. So, you know, hopefully you guys, you know, either you take some inspiration from this or, you know, just get to catch up a little bit on what's going on in my life. So. Yeah. All right. Peace, boys.
