From the corporate cage to the life I designed
For seven years, I climbed the ladder at a Chicago marketing agency. Promotions. A salary that looked impressive on paper. A LinkedIn profile that said "high achiever." But at 31, sitting in a parking garage after my third 12-hour day in a row, I asked myself: Is this it?
With $300, a Canva account, and skills I'd already built, I created my first digital product — a $27 content strategy template. It made $1,100 in the first week. That week changed everything.
I didn't go viral. I built systematically. Eight months later, I'd replaced my corporate salary. By 2024, I had crossed $11M in cumulative revenue, working fewer hours than ever, from anywhere in the world. I now live in Miami with a view I used to see only on Pinterest boards.
