Dustin Williams, a Mississippi boy with love for cars, moved with all he had to Southern California after graduating high school. He moved into a friend’s house; all he had was a Subaru WRX and a camera. He began making money through photography by working at a high-end car dealership and doing weddings. He also had a YouTube channel that began seeing some success. As he grew his photography business, Legends Media, he made his own shirts and wore them in his YouTube videos. His audience enjoyed his sense of style and his brand and encouraged him to begin selling apparel, which he then did. His brand, Legends Media, saw very early success among his fans and quickly grew. Today, he does monthly drops based on his life and YouTube channel as well as a subscription for monthly t-shirts and other benefits. He now has 675k subscribers on YouTube and continues to grow at a rapid pace.
Dustin has been an entrepreneur from the start! He began making money by doing photography for people and then reinvested that money into what he loved, cars. He then used his cars to provide content for YouTube, and the rest is history. He has inspired me and many others to do what they love and to go the extra step. The motto he carries in his life and shares with others is “Do More.” He encourages his audience to always go the extra mile, because it may pay off in the future. His entrepreneurial mind has inspired so many, including me. His ability to make a living doing what he loves is very inspiring and makes me want to do the same!
It’s awesome that Dustin was able to take something that he was passionate about, like cars and then monetize his interest through youtube and a clothing line. This seems like a very lucrative idea if properly managed. As a car enthusiast myself, I really appreciate the concept of this company. I can’t wait to explore Dustin’s company further.
Wow, that is so cool that he has been an entrepreneur since right after high school. Not everyone has the courage to commit to their dreams no matter the workload involved. Being able to make a living from what he loves and serve the community at the same time definitely takes practice, but it is an amazing skill to have. I really like how he utilized branding too.
Dustin’s story is very surprising because not too many people have the bravery to move to California and start a company from scratch. Youtube is a truly transforming app and when you are like Dustin a truly innovative person you are sure to gain a following. It was very smart to link his two passions cars and photography. The result of this gained him 675 thousand subscribers.
I have seen Dustin’s content before and it is great! Moving to California is a huge step in pursuing a career like that, and it is very impressive that he pulled it off straight from high school. The way that he marketed his brand by just wearing it himself and he gained a lot of interest in it is really cool. Dustin seems like a great influence and someone to model yourself after if you are an aspiring entrepreneur.
