3 things to do with your first paycheck that most teens skip!
always try to invest some of your money even if it’s a couple bucks a month!
day 1 of securing a sponsor for slush
slush is the biggest european startup conference in finland
slush invited me to host an AI workshop for 50 young founders during slush week in Helsinki
we have room for 1-2 sponsors.
your brand will be featured in the workshop and my social channels (350k followers, 300m views, large Gen-Z audience)
who’s down?
since posting on this app:
- met cofounder of notion at their office
- got free oura ring by tweeting
- NYC summer housing leads
- made friends whenever i traveled
this app has many pros and cons, but some of the people ive met simply tweeting i am endlessly grateful for ❤️
highest roi thing ive done as a student is creating my own opportunities
aka opportunitymaxxing
in high school i wanted to travel so bad so kept searching for conferences but never qualified
so i randomly applied to this tedx talk that was only open to uk students
i am not from the uk
got accepted, we figured out the funding and did my first live tedx talk in the uk at 16.
stayed super close w the org team and pitched being an emcee speaker in my final year of high school
they said yes and boom
16 year old me went for it and it turned into 2 trips to the uk
if it feels scary think abt it like this: worst case they say no
which is exactly where u already are if u dont apply
highly recommend:
- apply even if the rules say ur not eligible. let them tell u no
- once ur in, stay close w the ppl
- pitching never stops. bring ur wildest craziest ideas
first yes is always ALWAYS the hardest. it gets way easier once u have momentum
announcing 2 $1k scholarships for either high school or college students
if ur building something cool you should apply, today’s the last day!
no gatekeeping
easiest hack to get internships
if ur a college student and you’re trying to get a job for summer 2027, try this
if you’re a college student you need to stop spending 100s a month on software that you can get for free!!
unpopular opinion: you don’t need a niche
you need an audience. the niche is you.
i made videos about anything students cared about. internships, scholarships, finance, career, jobs
then 100 vids later, finance and tech were the ones consistently going viral so i doubled down
you can’t pick a niche before you know what works. even then you want ppl to watch the content bc you’re the person sharing the content, rather than the content itself
is anyone having a wedding anytime soon? i've just really been meaning to go to a wedding. i promise i'm funny and cool and i will buy you a really awesome cool present. anyways let me know if anyone's having a wedding.
here’s how I turned every interview into an offer back when I was internship hunting after my freshman year of college
this is also how I ended up getting a lot of interviews without going through the traditional process
