I don’t have a dramatic background. My “origin story” is a middle-class lifestyle, military service, and passing time with friends smoking and watching movies. Comfort was my world. But that “comfort” was eating me inside. My breaking point came one day when I was sitting in my office on base, watching my 10th movie of the day, planning to smoke joints until midnight. I realized it was meaningless—I was wasting time I could use on something real. With nothing better to do, I asked myself, “Why not try something different?” After working odd jobs, I landed a gig at a social media startup. My role was to convince college students to join the platform and start posting. I ended up being a top performer. After a few months, I got a call from a friend I hadn't spoken to in years. He was watching my work on Instagram, and a CEO he knew wanted the list I built for the startup. Instead, I pitched the CEO for a job. We worked together for about a year. During this time, I hired an army friend to help me manage my work. One day, at the club, he told a friend about his work for me. Skazi, Israel's biggest DJ, overheard the conversation and asked for his number because he wanted to hire me. Suddenly, I was in huge demand. It dawned on me that I stumbled across what Peter Thiel calls "a secret"— something only I realized was missing in the world. Short-form apps needed creators to post daily, and creators needed someone to ensure they weren’t taken advantage of. That’s when I started Clicks Talent. TikTok was first in the news at the time since "Old Town Road" went viral and landed the artist a deal. I pounced on it, messaging hundreds of artists to see if they would let me promote their music on TikTok. One label told me to do a free trial to see how it would go, and if successful, they would pay me. It went great, but they never paid me. So, I used the case study to lock in actual paying deals and pivoted to become the first-ever TikTok influencer marketing agency. We worked through some unpredictable times.
