Hello,
I'm a 25 year old male with an entrepreneurial itch. I have a degree in Middle Eastern Studies that I can't use because I decided I didn't want to be an academic. I read Millionaire Fastlane while studying Arabic full time the summer before starting grad school. Although TMF opened my mind in a new way, I wanted to be a counter terrorism specialist so I put the dream of retirement on the backburner. While in grad school for Counter Terror I realized writing academic papers comparing terrorist ideologies was a far cry from the heroic role fighting ISIS I had envisioned for myself... the military pretty much handles that and I am medically ineligible for service.
I discovered Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at age 23, ironically while studying abroad in the Middle East. I quickly decided martial arts was it for me, and quit school to pursue training. I soon took a job as an HVAC technician so I could pursue martial arts. I got into MMA and 2 years later quit my HVAC job won my second amateur cage fight.
I had a substantial windfall in cryptocurrency during the bull run of 2017, plus saving while working HVAC has afforded me some time off and some entrepreneurial investment funds... I am midway through UNSCRIPTED and I am preparing to commit to entrepreneurship full time while training martial arts several hours a week time permitting. I am looking for the right niche, thinking of markets I know within the MMA world. I have a standing offer to return to the HVAC company should I need work again, so I am pretty much coasting looking to maximize this time off.
Looking forward to exploring the Fastlane Forum more, I've already found great food for thought that is further opening my mind to business angles...
now back to finish UNSCRIPTED
