I'm dropping out of college...

This might be the coolest thing I’ve ever typed…

I’m officially dropping out of college to work full-time with Alex and Leila Hormozi as a Social Media Strategist at Acquisition.com.

It still feels surreal to say that.

I remember watching Alex’s YouTube videos while in class as a sophomore in high school.

Here’s how it happened:

A few months ago, a mutual friend introduced me to Michael Lim, who leads content at Acquisition.com. I wasn’t looking for a job - but when I got the chance to work on a few trial projects…

We clicked.

The work was challenging, the team was world-class, and I knew instantly this was something I wanted to be part of.

So I made the call: I’m pausing school, handing off my agency clients, and going all-in on this opportunity.

I’ll be helping the team grow the Hormozi brand across platforms through short-form content strategy, scripting YouTube content, and finding new ways to tell stories that cut through the noise.

I’ve learned more in the past few months working with the team than I did in entire semesters of school.

I’m grateful to Michael for the opportunity, to Alex and Leila for trusting me, and to everyone who’s supported me on this path. Every tweet, every email newsletter, every project I shipped... it all led here.

This is the power of working in public. You never know who’s watching. You never know what could come of it. But if you keep showing up, the right opportunities will find you.

And if you’re curious what that journey has looked like for me, I just released my first book.

It’s called You Can Just Do Things.

It’s not a step-by-step guide. It’s a short, story-driven read for anyone who’s ambitious, unsure where to start, and tired of waiting for permission.

Remember: You really can just do things.
