Where I Have Been
And what's comin up
Before We Jump In
I am in the final stages of opening a paid internship position with my creator business. This internship, dealing mostly in administration and logistics, has potential to develop into a full-time position. I am looking for detail-oriented, organized applicants who want to learn more about operating a profitable, independent creator/music business.
Applicants that qualify will be scheduled for a brief interview and will be assigned a sample project to complete.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, submit a resume/CV to this Dropbox.
Life has been LIFIN,’ ya’ll
Played my first Bar Mitzvah…at SoFi Stadium?! Thank you CheckOne2 Enterprises!
Packed up my whole apartment and moved down the street. Now I’m saving ~$500/month in living expenses. This is almost an entire Roth contribution of savings.

Speaking of savings….
I also switched to Mint Mobile earlier this year. The service has been amazing. I left T-Mobile and went from paying $70/month to $30/month ($840/year to $360/year).
That’s not all. Mint Mobile was BOUGHT BY T-MOBILE, so I’m essentially getting the same service anyway.
You can save 57%—for the exact same same service.
Give Mint Mobile a try using my “Refer a friend” link. I only have 4 slots, so first come, first served!
