I stayed silent for years because I wanted to build first and explain later.
I started YouTube at 13 and had 2.5 million subscribers by 19. Then I disappeared.
The comments came. “He’s fallen off.” “He’s finished.” But I wasn’t falling off. I was building.
Yesterday I released a documentary telling the full story. Growing up as a competitive swimmer, having those dreams killed by anorexia, finding YouTube and being ridiculed at school for it, the failed app that died with Covid, walking the streets in Spain figuring out how to keep the company alive, cutting everyone’s salary and not a single person quitting.
From nearly going bankrupt to $135M in revenue and 100+ people.
I made this because I wanted to show no matter how tough things get, you can always turn it around. Link in comments.
