The trajectory of a lifetime is decided between the ages of 12 and 24.
All my life, all I wanted was the Iron Throne.
Kidding. But all I actually wanted was to be an actor and a musician.
Fast forward to today: I am actively executing that dream in New York City. I have had the privilege of working on projects like The Equalizer with Queen Latifah, Caught Stealing starring Austin Butler, and Marty Supreme starring Timothée Chalamet. I have trained under industry powerhouses like Lane Napper from Victorious and Eric Allan Kramer from Good Luck Charlie.
But to get here, I had to take a massive, terrifying leap of faith.
I had to move across the world from Costa Rica and step into the complete unknown. It was either going to work or it wasn't. But I had to go in with the mindset that it will work out because I was personally going to make it work out. Period.
Nobody else can build your life for you.
That is exactly why I created Compass. I realized that so many young people carry an unconventional dream, but the path to a massive vision can feel incredibly isolating when nobody around them understands their direction yet. Compass exists to bridge that gap, align them with their support system at home, and give them the real world strategy to execute. That is why it was structured specifically for teens and young adults ages 12 to 24.
This window, from age 12 to 24, is the absolute crucible. It is the exact stage where you are just starting to explore who you are and who you want to be. The habits, the mindset, and the level of agency built right now dictate whether a person goes on to aggressively build their dream life, or if they settle for a routine they spend the next forty years trying to escape.
Many adults look back later in life and wonder if they settled, if they gave up on their own leap of faith too early, or if they are truly satisfied with what they built. But the trajectory all starts right here in these defining years.
Young people cannot keep waiting for the perfect, safe moment. They need to learn how to trust their own potential now.
Every great journey starts with a single moment where you look at your reality and say, "Enough is enough."
Looking back at your own youth, or looking at your teen right now, what do you think is the biggest challenge young people face today when trying to take that first big action toward who they want to be?
