21 Year Old Made $100,000 with 1 TikTok

Hey.

There’s a guy who we let in as a new member of 8AM World named Xanth.

He’s 21, and last month he made over $100K in profit - Mainly let by 1 TikTok video.

I recorded a podcast with him you can listen here on Spotify or Apple.

So he joined 8AM world a couple weeks ago, and I do a 1:1 call with all members who join to connect & see where I can help out (and often visa versa). Since we vet our members for quality through the process, I’m typically pretty excited for all these 1:1 calls.

On our call, Xanth talked about moving on from tiktok to building apps and creating something that actually matters to him. And he talked about how long he’d been putting it off.

On the call, we talked about his app idea - Not because I have all the answers — I don’t — But because this is a space where the i like to reflect questions that are the backbone of the 8AM World.

Questions like:
Why are you really building this?
Do you feel the conviction in your body, or just in your brain?
Is the version of you that’s building this the one you want to be remembered for?

When Xanth joined, he told me he didn’t know anyone who was building the way he wanted to build. He had gone into the woods with his cofounder for 2 weeks trying to download etherial ideas to build.

So Xanth came into 8AM looking for proximity to people thinking outside the box, and to be around people who live like life is sacred. He’s currently focused on learning design, learnign to build with a developer, iterating his idea, learning Figma and other tools and doing everything it takes to make his vision real.

He’s doing it. He’s not the only one like this within 8AM.

This is the type of person you find inside 8AM World. Self-taught founders. Clear channels. Chasing the divine download of a dream.
