Rejected from 15 medical schools—now he runs a $1.5 million business

"....Posting financial advice on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok."

Does anyone else find this concerning? To be frank, this guy wasn't making any money, but then turned a profit by....giving advice to other on how to earn money? Things don't really add up.

There are too many people out there giving financial advice with 0 history to back it up. I see this particularly on Twitter with "finance bros" accounts, so I'm not surprised it's really burgeoning on TikTok where the audience is even younger and more impressionable.

Good on him for being financially stable, but I'm not really on board with the amount of people getting into the financial advice industry without really any financial background or experience.

This article seems like it was sponsored by the guy whose story was told.
How did he go from a Med student to a financial adviser though? With no experience nor training in the Finance industry?

Sounds like the keys to success for him was:

1. going to bed extremely early
2. waking up extremely early
3. sticking to a schedule

Simple things. It sounds cliche, but they have a big impact on a person's ability to stay focused on reaching their goals.

I lost too many days to going to bed at 3AM and waking up at 1PM the next day..makes you feel like a slug and then the day is wasted.

In April 2020, about a month after Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, I noticed a spike in interest around stimulus-related content.

Wild the amount of people who turned the poor financial conditions of covid-19 into an opportunity, but I'm even more surprised by the YouTube payout. He says he made 10K on one video that went viral -- when I see this number it makes me think that making money as a YouTuber is tough and not viable.

At that rate you need to to have 5 viral videos a year to make 50K. Doable? I don't know.
