How we all doing? Hope yall had a Merry Christmas! I'm on holiday break from work and a lot of great things happening right now! Looking forward to the new year! ✨

What a week. Auditions, shoots, and trying to lock down that Christmas to New Years break so I can breathe a little. Work has been full speed, but I’m grateful for every rep right now. 🎬 My boss surprised me with a really dope Christmas gift this week too. He gave me Superfans and the same hat Macaulay Culkin wore in Home Alone. Such a thoughtful combo and honestly fired me up even more heading into the new year. 🎁 I also leveled up my YouTube setup. Started using lav mics and the back camera. The quality is better and it’s teaching me to slow down and be intentional. Plus I switched to a new thumbnail look to keep things fresh. 📸 Still rolling with the daily outfit posts on Instagram. Over 20 days straight now. Wild how consistency builds momentum when you’re not even thinking about it anymore. 👕 2025 has been a ride. A lot changed. A lot grew. And I can feel 2026 lining up to be one of those years that shifts everything. 🚀 Question for y’all: What’s one thing someone did for you this year that inspired you to go a little harder? 🤔

This week something wild happened at work. My boss pulled me aside after watching one of my YouTube videos and basically said he sees me growing fast outside of my job. In the most respectful way, he said he didn’t want to hold me back. He even suggested that maybe I shift into part-time so I can get my time back and put more energy into acting, YouTube, and the businesses I’ve been building. That hit me. On one hand, I’m newly married, living in an apartment with my wife, trying to buy a house, and thinking about a baby next year. Stability matters. On the other hand, this feels like one of those life signals that shows up when you’re starting to grow into the next version of yourself. He said we could try it for a season, maybe 6 months. My coworker is about to go on paternity leave, so I’d probably shift into part-time after he’s back in January or February. I’d still keep steady income, but I’d also get back real time to build Actor Media Company, grow my YouTube, take more acting jobs, and create the life I’m actually trying to build. I’ve been thinking really deeply about it. Is this a risk? Yes. Is it also an opportunity? I think so. Sometimes success shows up disguised as a scary decision. I’m curious how y’all handle moments like this. Have you ever been at a crossroads where the “safe” option and the “growth” option didn’t match up? How did you decide? Appreciate any wisdom from this community. 🙏🏾

🎂 What a week. I celebrated my birthday and then shot down to Orlando to celebrate my nephew’s birthday too. His is three days after mine, so that little tradition is locked in every year and it always fills my cup. ❄️ Back home, Georgia decided to surprise all of us with the first snow of the season. It was wild seeing snow hit the ground in the middle of everything going on. 🎤 On the creative side, I had a singing audition for The Last 5 Years. I am really proud of how it went, and now I am in that waiting stage where you try to stay calm and not refresh your inbox every five minutes. 🎬 I also stepped on set for my first commercial shoot through my acting agency. It was at Trilith Studios, which felt surreal. Being on a lot like that gave me a whole new shot of energy for where I want to take my career. 📈 On YouTube, my video on Frugal Living took off. Seems like that topic really resonated. If there are angles you want me to explore around money, simplicity, or lifestyle habits, I would love to hear what you want a video on next. 🤝 Last thing. I edited a video for my cousin this week. He asks me a lot to help with videos and I never really want to do it, but I also never know how to say no. Still learning how to navigate that without feeling guilty. If anyone has advice on how to set boundaries with people you care about, drop it here. How are you all doing this week?
