Guest Quote
"I had thousands of people's numbers, which was really cool. And I would text them every day, just to kind of build that relationship. And then, as I would post TikTok videos, I would take the video, put it in my text messages and just blast it out. So, within minutes, I had thousands of kids watching it, as opposed to posting it online and letting it take its course. I kind of cheated the system in a way, and I told so many people about it. I was like, ‘guys, you gotta get on this app.’”
