Not gonna lie, Nadya Lambreva is ACTUALLY a talented multi-hyphenate artist. Her career as a creative has spanned from traveling around the globe as a model to being a journalist and a TV host, and she is now an artist whose art has been featured in Forbes and Coachella and a content creator for Gary Vee's advertising agency (like me). In this inspiring episode, we talk about how her art caught the attention of Will Smith, meeting Zac Efron and Gerard Butler when she was a globe trotting model, and the difficult journey of finding your voice as an artist amidst obstacles and societal constraints.

If you've ever wondered how to become a video editor for your favorite YouTubers, this episode is for you. Sam Bakas has edited for notable social media stars like The Try Guys, Julius Dein, and MandJTV. He now works as a content creator for Gary Vee's advertising agency like me - so yeah, we're friends. In this chaotic, very unhinged episode, we show you our ridiculous secret handshake and how to make a girl fall in love with you, but also talk about the real shit like what it's like to be a video editor living in an influencer beach house, why Sam dropped out of film school in Mexico City to move to LA, how he got to video edit for The Try Guys, and the secret to happiness.

In this solo episode, I'm telling you my very wild career adventure of how I went from dropping out of Physical Therapy school to running away with the circus, ending up a video editor for YouTubers during the pandemic, and ending up a full time content creator for Gary Vee's advertising agency. This was such a wild ride, and I hope that my very wild career journey will help you out in some way, shape, or form as you navigate whatever careers you choose in the future.
