Two years ago, I sent this text to my frat that made me a millionaire.
I was 21, sitting in my apartment at Syracuse, staring at my phone for an hour before I could hit send.
It went to my fraternity group chat. The guys I had lived with, partied with, and called my best friends for three years.
I told them I was taking a leave of absence to build a street interview business.
I was moving to either New York or Miami, and I did not even know which one yet.
I just knew I was leaving by morning.
I sent one more message after that. "Come to 611 tonight."
That was our house.
Everyone showed up to say goodbye.
I left the next morning, and I never came back.
Some of the guys in that chat thought I had lost my mind.
A few told me to come back and finish school.
Most of them had no idea what street interviews even meant.
I still have that group chat. The same guys who told me to come back now send me every article and podcast I am featured in.
They hype every win louder than anyone on my team does.
The screenshot of that text is still in my phone. I read it when things get hard because it reminds me what it cost to start.
Everything I have built came from being willing to send one terrifying message and then actually follow through on it.

Every single one of you sick degenerates is responsible for this.
No 15 year old should be like this. No 15 year old should be a founder, should be trying to move to SF, should be raising VC.
This is sick and perverse and it’s not his fault but the failure of the adults around him.
