What happened in that college dorm room that changed the trajectory of your life?
Founder & CEO at 4Lifers Entertainment
I stopped going to classes altogether. Just stayed in my room for the whole second semester, sat there and thought about what I actually wanted to do in life. I was there for sports journalism to maybe get my face on ESPN, but did I actually want that? I would watch Steve Harvey videos and Kevin Hart interviews on YouTube for hours. And I started to notice that every single person I looked up to was a comedic legend. I felt more connected to them than anything I had ever felt in my life. It clicked. I have always been the funny guy in every classroom, in every sport, got kicked off the football team for being funny. That is my purpose. I was sitting in college not even knowing that was a legitimate career I could pursue. That was my epiphany.
