I went to high school with famous YouTube, w/ 20M followers, and accidentally ran into him at an exclusive brunch at .
I haven’t seen him since high school, but I’ve been watching his success over the past years, and I’ve felt pure happiness and joy watching him grow.
We live in 2 completely different worlds because while he’s building a massive YouTube audience full of fun and adventure, I’m a nerdy LinkedInfluencer talking about data & AI 😅
But we have more in common than you’d think:
↳ we both came out of a small town in GA and built massive public-facing brands and successful businesses
↳ we both understand the grind of content, building, and having your face online 24/7 forever
↳ we both leverage AI in our businesses to expedite growth and content creation
I’ve thought about him so many times over the years because the world of content is lonely and very few people made it big after high school. It was such a pleasant surprise to run into each other!!
I see you Eric, keep on grinding and hustling! SO proud of all you’ve accomplished 🫶🏼
