At 19 years old, Jay Yang is already inspiring millions—but it didn’t start with success. It started with 5 hours a day gaming and feeling stuck. One day, he looked in the mirror and thought: “I should be doing something better with my life.”

In this episode, Jay shares how he transformed from aimless teen to impactful creator—growing an audience of over 200,000 followers, publishing 1,200+ pieces of content, and building a brand on relatability, resilience, and taking action before you're ready.

Whether you're feeling stuck, afraid to start, or simply tired of perfectionism holding you back—this conversation will hit hard.
