I didnât walk away because the offers werenât good⌠they REALLY were.đ
I walked away because they didnât align with who Iâve already proven myself to be.
Iâve built my own income from scratchâŚover $1M through digital products, real estate, and content. Iâve grown audiences to 200k+, created systems that generate revenue, and operated like an owner long before anyone gave me a title.
So when I got those 6-figure offers⌠it felt like I was being hired to execute. not to build.
What I actually wanted was:
⢠A seat at the table
⢠Direct access to founders
⢠Ownership in outcomes, not just tasks
⢠Speed, pressure, and real leverage
When .bens called me to help build Seek Jesus as a second founding hire on a 7fig apparel brand, that matched my trajectory way more than any âsecureâ role could.
I didnât need another job.
I needed a bigger arena.
So I chose:
Leverage > salary
Equity > title
Mission > comfort
Because at this stage, Iâm not trying to fit into someone elseâs company.
Iâm trying to help build one that matters and could truly truly impact millions and change history in the retail space.
