If you ever got told you weren't smart enough — bad grades, a rough start, a degree that didn't "count" — this one's for you.I had all F's my first year of community college. Today I'm in tech, six figures, with promotions and equity behind me. I'm not saying that to brag — I'm saying it so you can see that your early record doesn't decide your ceiling. The thing that actually carried me was never intelligence. It was resilience, showing up, and refusing to let a bad start become the whole story.If this one resonated, that's the whole reason I make these.⏱️ Chapters0:00 – All F's to six figures0:25 – How I failed out my first year of college1:15 – Locking in and transferring to UC Davis2:30 – Graduating behind everyone else3:00 – The $50K job I couldn't stand3:55 – Emailing my way into a 50% raise5:30 – Laid off — right after I got engaged5:55 – Why resilience mattered more than my grades6:50 – The one question I ask when everything goes wrong8:45 – Your grades don't define you10:20 – Learning to actually love learning11:00 – What did you write yourself off for?🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033E9pIHIoHnNrgI46t3nE▶️ Subscribe on YouTube: @NotThereYetWithMoaazInstagram and Tiktok @NotThereYetWithMoaazWhat did you write yourself off for way too early?
