Hello SoBros world! I am excited to announce that I have been added to the list of contributors here.
The genre of content you can expect from me will vary across a wide spectrum of technology, cars, aviation, self-improvement, and exploration of the planet. I am also writing for my own blog, so I will be cross-posting what I write over there for the SoBros universe.
With that introduction taken care of, I would like to give you all the dubious opportunity of getting to know me a little better. Most of you know I left corporate America and went into commission-only sales work a little over a year ago in January 2015. This work has awoken a new me that I didn’t even know existed. Since then I have been in a continuous frenzy of urgent self-educating, hustling hard in sales, surviving the crazy ups and downs of my health insurance business, and searching for the next opportunity. My hard-working and beautiful partner Samantha and I have built a lovely work-from-home life in Mount Juliet with our goofball dog Murphy.
Well, in February, I discovered the world of e-commerce, and ever since then that discovery has impacted every single day. It was like discovering a hidden universe. As it turns out, a regular guy like me can start his own brand of stuff on Amazon, and it’s apparently quite compelling for the people that succeed. I am a risk taker with a lot of work ethic, so I couldn’t resist. I sold off some toys, raided my savings, and dove head first into a strange and heady world of Chinese manufacturers, international wire transfers, creating a website, and down the rabbit hole of increasingly arcane subjects like SEO (search engine optimization) and online marketing. As events have progressed, I eventually came to the realization that this journey isn’t really about getting some custom-branded headphones onto Amazon. It’s about learning how to understand the deep inner workings of the matrix that is today’s internet, and that is a mountainous task that I am taking great pleasure in tackling.
So in addition to planes, electronics, automobiles, etc I will also be occasionally sharing updates about how this e-commerce experiment is going. It’s definitely one of the most insane things I have ever done, and I believe the experience gained will alone be worth the cost of entry, even if I don’t sell a single unit.
Never stop self-educating, folks. You never know where it might take you. See you all on my next post! Rumor has it that it might be about travel.
