This is a solo episode about why I left JT—and more importantly, what that experience taught me.
This isn’t drama and it isn’t a rant. It’s an honest reflection on saying yes too fast, skipping important questions, and learning the difference between a good opportunity and the right one.
Last season, I was invited to be part of the JT Elite line. On the surface, it felt like a dream opportunity. But over time, I realized how critical alignment, clarity, and structure are when you’re building a personal brand in paintball.
In this episode, I talk about:
• why excitement can replace due diligence
• how not having a contract created unclear expectations
• the difference between prestige and alignment
• why structure is necessary to do your best work
• and when growth means walking away respectfully
If you’re a paintball player, creator, or entrepreneur navigating sponsorships and partnerships, this episode is for you.
Sometimes the biggest lessons come from opportunities that almost worked.
