017 | Taking a Gap Year & Moving to New York City w/ Jada Jones

Listen Later

Having graduated from high school a year early, Jada Jones had the opportunity to move to New York City on her own to work as a nanny and pursue her acting career... at AGE 17! Solo travel can be a scary (but incredibly rewarding) part of a gap year, and on this episode, Jada and I talked about how you have to dive headfirst into these opportunities, trust the process, and learn as you go. We covered:

  • how & why Jada graduated from her performing arts high school early (1:11)
  • taking the leap and solo traveling to New York City after graduation (4:51)
  • the perfect opportunity to live in NYC (7:31)
  • how Jada attracted the opportunity of a lifetime (12:31)
  • professional development in NYC (16:45)
  • moving back home and changing course due to the pandemic (19:41)
  • how Jada continued to learn outside of college/formal education (21:55)
  • did she have doubts about not going to college? would she consider going to college at any point? (24:31)
  • dealing with doubts about YouTube and content creation (25:47)
