00:00:27.280 don't finish so what happens when these women go and drop out let's find out your time on why i 1.00
00:00:33.440 dropped out of school my she's a six i'd say if i've the lad you know what's interesting i can't
00:00:40.400 say the fake stuff doesn't work but it works for a second and then you look closer and you're like
00:00:45.280 what the hell is that you know i mean like it's like at a glance so cute and then you're like what 0.59
00:00:50.400 what are those lashes you know like it for a glance you're like oh that's how it goes new year of
00:00:56.960 college so uh upon graduating high school i graduated high school in 2018 and my mom basically
00:01:02.480 told me before i graduated like you don't have to go to college but you're gonna have to get a job
00:01:06.320 and at the time i was working at mcdonald's and i just didn't see myself working at mcdonald's paying
00:01:10.480 bills all that full time so i was like okay i'm gonna go to college so i applied to all out-of-state
00:01:14.960 colleges because i wanted to leave the state regardless and um i ended up getting into most of
00:01:19.600 the college i applied to but i'm not gonna lie i still was kind of scared like to just venture out on my
00:01:24.320 own and so my best friend was going to a college so i was like okay i'm gonna follow you and i with
00:01:28.720 it but disclaimer best friend goes to college we go to the same college best friend gets a divorce
00:01:34.640 i got bad news for you fellas i got bad news for you you're next i would not recommend people to do
00:01:40.160 that yes we still are best friends but i know a lot of people who friendship ended because of that so
00:01:44.240 i don't recommend to do that back on track so we ended up going to college in my senior year high
00:01:49.120 school right before i graduated i took a lash class so i was like okay i'm gonna learn how to do lashes
00:01:53.280 and you know at the time the dorm i was going to be living in was 800 other girls so in my mind
00:01:58.320 i'm like okay you're going to get in all this practice doing all these girl lashes and i was
00:02:01.920 going to charge really really low and then when i got good skyrocket my prices kind of like the
00:02:06.560 monopoly effect and i was like by my sophomore year i should have enough oh those are supposed to be good
00:02:11.200 lashes oh no maybe you should have stayed in school i need to have at least a suite and like you know
00:02:18.480 have my own place to do lashes out of and then once i leave college my sophomore year they're
00:02:23.360 just too long i don't even hate lashes all the time but that is just that's too long nobody would
00:02:28.720 really care because i've only been there for two years and i can show people i'm already making all
00:02:32.480 this money from lashing in my mind it was like the perfect idea so i.e i never planned on really
00:02:37.840 graduating and so my freshman year come and i'm really not into it too much um i guess it wasn't
00:02:43.520 really what i thought it was going to be so i'm like okay i still translation i had to do hard
00:02:47.280 things i didn't want to do the hard things i had to study show up to class do a good job that was too
00:02:53.680 hard i want to do something in that field so i decided to take a brow class so i took a bus ride
00:02:59.040 like two hours away in a different city um learn how to wax and tint brows and so i kind of got into
00:03:04.400 that so we're going into my sophomore year i'm kind of trying to get into that whatever and so i'm
00:03:08.720 kind of telling myself you know what you might as well graduate like you're already you know
00:03:12.080 what i'm saying you're already into it you might as well graduate so i started doing brows and it
00:03:16.000 just i don't know if it wasn't for me or i just didn't take it seriously but i just couldn't get
00:03:20.320 into it and then boom covet hits so covet hits and obviously everything is shut down i had to go back
00:03:26.320 home i had to move out of my dorm all that and it really was just me doing nothing in the house like
00:03:31.040 i tried creating like the little strip lashes and stuff like that i just couldn't get into it and
00:03:36.800 like many people i was kind of like going through a depression it was just a lot of stuff going on
00:03:40.400 so we got back to men never say what they have going on do you know what i mean like if they
00:03:46.320 if they said say i did a bad job they just say yeah i didn't do the job they never say oh it was
00:03:52.000 this this this and this but women it's always with like a butt right but i was depressed men are 1.00
00:03:57.200 depressed all the time but they just don't really use it as like an excuse right not all not all youtube
00:04:03.520 school they did it hybrid so like most of my classes were online and i had got an apartment
00:04:08.560 back um where i lived where i went to college and during that time period it just was feeling really
00:04:13.520 aimless to me like i really was asking myself why am i at college like why am i here like i thought
00:04:19.360 about it best case scenario right if i was to get a job doing exactly what i went to school for which
00:04:24.560 was strategic communications which is just public relations and i got the best job and the best field
00:04:29.760 doing that did i really want to do it like i don't know it was just a lot of asking myself and this
00:04:34.640 video is about to end so tell me if you guys want a part two as most of you know i have been fighting

00:07:36.160 but they always pick tick tock can't even be youtube it's always tick tock computer science like i was going
00:07:41.280 to enter the corporate world all that the most clarifying conversation i had was with one of my
00:07:46.000 closest friends and classmates he said you are more likely to regret coming back than regret leaving
00:07:54.000 that line stuck with me because he was absolutely right i imagined every scenario for whether or not
00:07:59.440 my business did well whether or not it did horribly and i compared what my life would look like then with
00:08:05.600 what my life would look like if i went back to school and in no situation would i regret this
00:08:13.360 more than this even if i failed one of my biggest delight let's see if i think she's gonna make it
00:08:18.400 sometimes you they do make it let's see if she's got let's see if i think she's got what it takes so
00:08:24.640 what is she selling all right her cre uh okay so creator playbook she might do okay what does she what
00:08:34.720 does she pay for that i have to give my email okay fine um you're not getting it but that's not bad
00:08:40.320 free a strategy call
00:08:45.200 okay a mini doc about my story i took a gap year from school after my freshman year to pursue content
00:08:52.960 creation and control she makes six figures but again we gotta go right now so i gotta you know and i have
00:08:58.560 to say because i was i was on tiktok when people were making stupid money okay now i wasn't i wasn't
00:09:06.800 myself making it i i did i did okay on tiktok but i knew people that were making six figure brand deals so
00:09:14.080 they had to do one post and they would get 100k right so i know what that's like and that is um
00:09:24.480 um but a lot of them are making nothing now i'll just say do i think she's got the long term
00:09:34.640 okay now now again they say six figures is that profit or revenue those are very different numbers
00:09:39.760 but okay so it's going well for her now one let's expose some content creation myths you don't need 2022
00:09:48.880 she might make it to be honest a mini doc i was a guest on this pod cast create your own store track
00:09:58.400 your finance okay at least she's given like the it's interesting because what women do is they become 1.00
00:10:04.240 experts at things as they're online and it's their journey where men have to be an expert and then they
00:10:09.680 build a brand which by the way if if you are a smart intelligent man that wants to be on youtube

00:10:43.200 and then they can start a youtube channel where pretty women can become experts as they're going 1.00
00:10:49.280 now you know she's this might turn out okay for her let's see how our last video so it has come to my
00:10:55.520 attention that you don't think your life is interesting i don't think our attention spans are
00:10:59.200 actually decreasing but i do think let's see uh 12 162 000 20 000 okay all right well
00:11:12.960 i give her i don't think in five years she'll be employed but i think she'll have a good run 0.51
00:11:17.840 i think she'll have a good run two conversations convinced me to take a semester off of school
00:11:22.320 i already covered the first one but the second one happened in a random apartment in san francisco
00:11:27.360 hanging out with a ton of you know tech interns and someone asked the question if money didn't
00:11:32.000 matter if money was taken care of what would you do with your life i don't remember all the answers
00:11:36.480 but one person said they would sell and design sneakers another person said they would direct
00:11:42.400 movies women women it's always tick tock once they well it's always tick tock women it's it's a hundred 0.98
00:11:50.160 percent always always going to be tick tock graduated the sentiment around the room was pretty much
00:11:55.600 i'm going to work this job and save up and then one day pursue my dream now i was sitting over here
00:12:03.600 contemplating whether or not to take off my next semester of school um to pursue my content creation
00:12:11.280 and my business and social media or go back to school and study computer science and then get
00:12:16.640 myself an internship in the tech space i won't lie guys i don't think she's the worst one 0.98
00:12:23.040 because and i'll tell you why i actually don't think she's going to be i've covered a lot of women
00:12:26.880 that quit for tick tock from what i've seen all of her stuff is still going to make her hireable later 1.00
00:12:34.640 right so it's how to grow on social media like from what i've seen none of it's her twerking doing 1.00
00:12:42.160 stupid tick tock stuff whatever um it doesn't seem to be too political right she didn't go down that 0.93
00:12:49.200 rabbit hole and it's a semester off i'm she might be okay she seems all right and during that conversation 0.99
00:12:57.600 i thought to myself i have an opportunity or at least the guts to take an opportunity to skip over
00:13:05.760 the years of waiting for that security and waiting for the right time to then pursue
00:13:14.160 the creative passions that i've always had so if i say no now what's to say i will ever try yeah
00:13:21.680 again they always now she's trying to make herself a hero in the story whatever oh let's see what else
00:13:26.720 she's got learn from other industries how america goes viral becoming the niche niche down life update 0.99
00:13:35.760 i spent years sometimes all you have to do is show up how often is she posting so it has come to my
00:13:44.560 attention so four days ago i don't think our attention so i treat i hope she's going very
00:13:50.240 differently context i started creating content on okay tick tock all right so i give her 50 50.
00:13:59.520 now let's see this girl okay i guess i'm just gonna start a series because this needs to be said but
00:14:07.280 i don't know if she quit for tick tock the other girl so the other girl had more of like a girl next 1.00
00:14:14.240 door like ability like in casting um this girl like her voice i'm not i'm not really i am a senior at
00:14:24.400 indiana university and i studied biology and i've been on the pre-med path for the past three years
00:14:32.000 and this summer i took my mcat i did well and ultimately decided to not apply to med school
00:14:37.680 and now i am in that phase where figuring out what to do with my life because i have no idea what i want
00:14:44.080 to do post-grad but i know to not go to med school right now um so yeah but since i made the decision
00:14:53.360 i've been doing a bunch of networking and for once i actually have so much free time that i don't
00:14:59.680 know what to do with myself and i don't know what to do with my life i wonder if she'll think about
00:15:05.360 getting married maybe you know all right let's see quitting pre-med i hope her backup plan isn't tick 1.00
00:15:13.040 tock she doesn't have what it takes she's in chicago um but you know she could do well in the 1.00
00:15:20.720 dating market who would i set her up with if i was trying to like match make what kind of guys
00:15:26.880 would be into a former pre-med it'd be a guy that values i know it's looks but she's cute enough most 1.00
00:15:33.360 men would um it would have to be a guy that values intelligence is she indian she i feel like she would 0.99
00:15:43.120 do well with indian guys there's this quote that i think about often like with the american i'd set
00:15:49.200 her up with like a guy in tech that's what i would do i'd set her up with the tech guys i think that 1.00
00:15:53.440 would be a good fit for her because she's kind of chill all right i i don't think i don't think
00:15:59.600 social media the other girl has a better shot what is up you guys all right now her i like her vocal
00:16:05.840 tonality um that's not bad i don't know if she has the right look so if i'm casting for a female 1.00
00:16:14.160 social media influencer she has to be cute enough to get male attention right she can't be below five 1.00
00:16:22.000 um and she has to be not too pretty where she's relatable enough to women right where women now it's 1.00
00:16:30.560 tick tock is mostly female apps i'm assuming she's selling to women um i don't get the it factor with
00:16:38.480 her but i this is just first first glance with me for work while i tell you why i dropped out of
00:16:43.600 college okay so i guess we should start off with a little back like i'm bored do you know what i mean
00:16:48.800 like you have to i'm just i'm just not drawn in to this girl because so if she quit to be a tick 1.00
00:16:56.560 tocker i got bad news i feel like a lot of people don't know this about me i feel like i've expressed
00:17:04.560 it a lot and shared about like my whole journey with college on my youtube channel so if you were
00:17:10.560 interested i'd recommend checking that out because being a first generation latina you know going to 0.98
00:17:17.200 school was really important for me okay so i graduated high school back in 2019 and then i went right into a
00:17:25.280 four-year university which i feel like that was kind of like my mistake i made but anyways i went
00:17:32.800 to cal state san marcos and i absolutely loved it the campus was close enough to home where i was just
00:17:39.600 a commuter and also i absolutely loved like all my classes and i went in as a business major so the first
00:17:48.480 two years yeah i'm just i'm still bored it could get better i don't know i took like general education
00:17:56.560 classes and then it wasn't entail about like it was going to be all these unnecessary details why did you
00:18:03.520 quit like can we just third year and i was going to be a junior is when the classes started being a lot
00:18:10.480 more harder because i was getting ready to apply to be into the business program because i wanted to do
00:18:15.520 more of the management and marketing side so then you have to apply to get into like the business
00:18:20.960 program if that makes sense right around my second semester of sophomore year of college we entered
00:18:28.240 the pandemic which obviously changed so many things for everyone but for me personally it actually helped
00:18:34.480 me academically because i already at that point was failing two to three classes that i already
00:18:39.920 yeah tick tock's not going to be for her now you don't have to be crazy intelligent to do tick tock
00:18:46.240 or youtube and stuff but you do have to be smarter than the other youtubers and if you're failing out
00:18:53.280 of a business degree like that's not a super hard degree like i'm not gonna like i would almost think
00:18:59.520 that music theory is more difficult than a business i was in the business program and it wasn't that hard
00:19:05.760 so hold on one second one second hello
00:19:14.960 hello
00:19:26.320 oh no i'm not interested thank you
00:19:28.240 i hate it when i think someone else is calling yeah okay hold on i'll finish this make sure to edit this
00:19:40.640 out um all right let's go back i knew i had to make up and i also started to become really lazy and i
00:20:05.520 honestly stopped showing up to my classes because i felt like oh she's not gonna i please please did
00:20:12.240 you quit to be a waitress please don't quit for tick tock the point if i was already failing or i knew
00:20:19.760 like this test that i had i was gonna fail which is a terrible mindset to have but at that point i was
00:20:25.120 like i'm so done i don't even know i'm here and i'm wasting everyone's time and money at this point but
00:20:31.200 i stayed going to college because i knew like that i had to i felt like i had no other choice
00:20:36.240 at that time of going to college i was obviously still working at chick-fil-a i was working there
00:20:41.120 for like i think two and a half years at that point and i was still working like a pretty heavy schedule
00:20:47.200 i pretty much get home from like a full eight hour shift do homework wake up go to school sometimes i
00:20:51.600 would leave school early to make it back to my shift on time and it was just becoming like too much
00:20:56.000 and i felt like i had to choose between one or the other again terrible mindset because all those
00:21:00.400 things could have been prevented but i also love being financially independent and going back to
00:21:05.120 where i was even starting with this whole conversation yeah okay can we get then the
00:21:09.760 pandemic hit and i started doing so much better in school i was able to go at my own pace or able to
00:21:15.520 like go back and watch all of like translation i could cheat everything was online and i could cheat
00:21:22.080 my way through college recorded lectures and i was basically able just doing things on my own time
00:21:27.840 and if i had questions i could just go back and look i was in class i felt like i couldn't really
00:21:32.880 ask the professor questions until after class look like office hours with them and i didn't really
