Walking through the streets

of Tokyo Japan being able to do what I love.

Having the support I do.

Owning a successful established clothing company.

This is proof of what seems like an unrealistic goal is possible.

I'm no one special.

Just someone who put in the work

and made the sacrifices to make it happen.

This is it!

The freedom to be able to travel,

explore, and skate with friends while capturing it all working towards

working toward my goal everyday.

Tokyo is such a beautiful city.

The lifestyle, culture, people, architecture.

I love it all so much.

To be able to experience this all is unreal to me

I wanted to make this video

to show you that anything is possible if you put your mind to it

I still remember that argument I had with my parents

about spontaneously deciding to leave my small town

to chase the dream out in LA.

I had no money,

no job,

and had just finished my first semester of college

but, I chose to chase my dream

I'm not gonna lie, the first two years were pretty rough!

not passing training on my first job,

Then deciding to bum it out, starve, and couch-surf.

So I could focus on my goal instead of working

not knowing anyone was scary

and things got rough

but I'm glad I chose to tough it out!

it was such an unhealthy lifestyle living off these 39 set burritos every day!

Even though those living conditions were harsh,

I was happy because I was doing what I wanted to do.

I had so much time to work with and I utilized every single day!

consistently networking and building up my own name.

after the first year passed

I got evicted from the place I was staying at due to unpaid bills because of some

lack of communication with my roommates.

The rent for that month wasn't returned

along with the $750 deposit

we were supposed to get back once the apartments lease was up.

keep in mind that was our last month of our lease.

so I was really relying on getting that money.

I just had a little over $40 to survive

and just like that

it was was either used the money to go back home

or sleep in my car for a bit till I found somewhere new.

I wasn't about to go back to Nevada as a failure

It was a scary moment but, luckily my good friend Lamont offered me

to stay at his place and work on YouTube with him.

so I did and the people I thought were closest to me

turned on me because of that.

At that point I honestly felt like I had no one.

I spent that next year working on the Lamonts Channel

as I worked on growing my own social media as well

along the way I met some close friends which you see in my videos today.

I was making a little bit of money through Lamonts channel

and through a small ongoing brand deal as well

just barely enough to pay for what it costed

to sleep on the couch in the living room

I was comfortable with that honestly!

until I got into a relationship. I remember how bad I felt about

my whole situation during that time period. It made me realize how broke I really was

and how I couldn't do anything because of it.

I was still sleeping on the couch

I couldn't take the girl out to eat

and I couldn't even go out to do anything with her.

After we broke up I really set my mind to change that.

Shortly after I released my first vlog style video which was just a simple "Day In The Life".

I started focusing on my own channel and worked my way up to where I am today.

I couldn't be happier!

Here I am in Japan enjoying it day by day no worries

just doing what I love it's been a crazy journey like I said

this is just the beginning I'm glad that that vision I pictured

years ago is turning into a reality

and the point of all this blabbering on about my story

is

for those of you chasing your dreams

Just remember

don't

give up
