One of my biggest lessons from 2025: everything can change in an instant, and adaptability is a skill you can train.
I lost my job at the end of April after 15+ years in art direction and motion graphics, working with brands like Apple, PlayStation, and Nissan. I knew change was coming… just not that fast.
So I went all in.
I bet on myself.
I leaned hard into AI automation and content creation.
I put myself out there - publicly.
In six months:
- 33K+ YouTube subscribers
- 70K+ on TikTok
- A Skool community of 2,500+ members
- Replaced my full-time income with a job I built myself
Not because I had it all figured out, but because I was willing to adapt, take risks, and be seen.
