Started W/Guerrilla Marketing at 13 years old.

Background

  • 13 years old — Diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. Sick for almost a year since no one knew what I was sick with.
  • 14 years old — Taught myself guerrilla marketing to raise money and awareness for Crohn’s Disease.
  • 14 to 16 years old — Raised tens of thousands of dollars for Crohn’s Disease.
  • 16 years old — Joined the board as the youngest board member of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation ($50M per year in fundraising organization).
  • 18 years old — Tried to start a marketplace of friends who has T-shirt brands. Onboarded brands, built a website but couldn’t figure out how to get payments integrated so never ended up launching.
  • 18 to 21 years old — Attended college and had more internships than anyone else I knew. I helped pay for my college tuition so had to outwork everyone else.
  • 21 years old — Graduated college and moved to Los Angeles to work at an education technology company. Was the youngest employee and built a product that connected students at college campuses to others at their university to share study documents. Scaled platform to 100’s of thousands of college students.
  • 21 years old — On the side of my full-time job, started doing some side consulting. Also ended up buying a dating site. Scaled the dating site to millions of visitors. However, the site was built poorly that it crashed almost every day. Ended up losing money on the site.
  • 22 years old — Went to work for a small but fast growing YouTube competitor. We were a team of 7 and raised close to $10M.
  • 23 years old — On the side of my full-time job, started a biz that helped musicians grow their following on Instagram. Sold this biz 6 months after starting to the largest player in the space.
  • 24 years old — Started and grew an email travel series from 0 to 500K subscribers in 10 months.
  • 25 years old — Started consulting and was making more money than I ever had. Got brought in as a partner at an agency. That agency then ended up selling to another.
  • 26 years old — Started my current business, Boundless Labs.
  • 27 years old (now) — Scaling Boundless Labs. 7 figure per year, email marketing agency. 7 full-time employees and growing.

    Crazy I can't imagine how hard life was at 13 with crohn’s.

    I got UC in my 20s and it has been a challenge to say the least.
