- Blake (aka mr4to8) is a young entrepreneur that is really good at building a community. He shows everything he does so that others can learn from his success and mistakes. He has a great understanding of the stock and crypto markets. As well as the real estate market. Specifically how to run AirBNBs.
- His drive is to be financially free and to give back to his family and others that helped him build. As well as use his businesses for social good. Such as using his AirBNBs to give make-a-wish kids a grand vacation.
- Uses the already established AirBNB industry to grow a huge portfolio of them. By either purchasing the property or sub-leasing it. His other business, WiseGuy Investing, an investment education community. Uses Discord to connect with the younger generation to educate them on how to trade and invest. He brings in other professionals as well to post in their “journals” for the community to learn from.
- Obsession with growth, both in business and personal life. He is constantly giving, learning, and teaching.
- He used Tiktok to promote his brand and ended up going viral. During COVID he used the opportunity of everyone being on their phones to start creating educational tiktoks. After doing this he quickly went viral, gaining over 1M followers. Using Discord for educational purposes was also a newer idea when he first started it. Typically it is known for gaming. But he found it also worked well for his purposes.
- His desire to use his business for social good inspires me to do the same with my business. Having a mission behind the business gives a great motivation to grow it rapidly. He also gives glory to God for all his success. Which is a great reminder for me to do the same.
