Plagiarizing like a motha fucka time!! 🎉 Decided to go recreate this reel: https://www.instagram.com/p/DRaws4cDVAw/ I have access to Reel Trials, so I posted it in there and on my main IG Feed. Here is my reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT2LFY_gInm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Alright y’all. I started posting on my instagram in November of 2025. And throughout that I’ve been watching Daniel and learning from him. Over the last week I’ve grown 110K+ followers and 10M+ views. I’m just now starting to get it. It isn’t fuckin rocket science. Just post good, entertaining content and be yourself. People will see right fucking through you If you don’t. Add your own twist to the million ideas already out there. Anyways thanks Daniel for helping all of us R*tards out here.

Emotion to Evoke: Triumphant through perseverance Hook: I sat in a jail cell at 12 years old. For making a paintball joke… Slide 1: Three kids stole my lunch. I said I’d get them back on the paintball course. Columbine had happened a week earlier… Slide 2: I didn’t even know what Columbine was. I was 12 in Oregon. They arrested me anyway… Slide 3: my parents picked me up and took me for pizza. I still got expelled a week later… Slide 4: that one day taught me something at 12 most people struggle to learn… Slide 5: nobody is coming to save you. Stop asking for permission. And build the life of your dreams! @Joseph Farinha

I chose my 3rd struggle from Day 1: "I got arrested and expelled from Catholic school in 7th grade. Some sixth graders took my food out of the microwave, and I'd just been paintballing for the first time, so I made some comment about taking them out on the paintball course. I was 12. Columbine had just happened and I didn't even know what that was - I was in Bend, Oregon. They called me to the office before swim practice and then arrested me. My parents picked me up and took me to get pizza, but I still got expelled a week or so later." Curiosity Hooks 1. "Everyone thinks the system protects you. Here's what I learned at 12." - How getting arrested made me an entrepreneur 2. "I thought following the rules would keep me safe - until I got expelled from Catholic school." - How I learned context doesn't matter to institutions 3. "How I built a business without ever asking permission." - Why I stopped waiting for approval Knife-Edge Hooks 1. "I almost let that arrest define me. Instead, I used it as fuel." - How getting arrested became my edge 2. "I almost became a rule-follower. Instead, I questioned everything." - Why I stopped trusting authority 3. "I almost lost my confidence at 12. Instead, I stopped asking permission." - How expulsion taught me to build my own path Refusal Hooks 1. "I refused to trust authority. I chose to question everything." - How skepticism became my superpower 2. "No to asking permission. Yes to building my own thing." - Why I don't wait for approval 3. "Never again 'follow the rules.' From now on, make your own." - How getting expelled taught me the game is rigged

Hi everyone! Excited to be here and grow my IG channel. Here is my homework for day 1. 5 Struggles: 1. My dad committed suicide in 2018, I was 27 and it was a week after my birthday. The fucked up part is we'd been in a fight, and I was ignoring his texts and calls. And he did it in my room. That guilt lingers and creates an internal driving force to be someone he would be proud of. 2. I trained my whole life for baseball and the dream died slowly. I spent years training under Tom House at USC, IMG Academy, the whole thing. But my pitching shoulder has this hypermobility issue where it pops in and out, God has a sense of humor. Failed a weed test at another college and got kicked off the team. One year later, looked good for a try out, then my shoulder officially popped and I burnt out shortly after. 3. I got arrested and expelled from Catholic school in 7th grade. Some sixth graders took my food out of the microwave, and I'd just been paintballing for the first time, so I made some comment about taking them out on the paintball course. I was 12. Columbine had just happened and I didn't even know what that was - I was in Bend, Oregon. They called me to the office before swim practice and then arrested me. My parents picked me up and took me to get pizza, but I still got expelled a week or so later. 4. In 2024, my business partner left me $100k light and burned bridges around me. I paid for everything - custom built computer, screens softwares, travel, rentals, and the list goes on. He held the money from deals. Then I crashed my car and needed some money back, he disappeared for a week, ghosting my calls and texts. Then over a three-minute phone call, said there was nothing he could do and that was it. As one of my mentors says, "it was a big seminar of what not to do". 5. I've sacrificed relationships, friends, and basically a normal life to build this. I'm single by choice. Gave up dating, hanging out, going to events - all of it. My sister gives me shit about it because she's married and works at Chase Bank and doesn't really get the entrepreneur thing. I could just get a regular job, make six figures, pay off my debts, and live normally. But I really want to give my mom the life she deserves and become someone my dad would be proud of. That's a big part of what keeps me going.
