Ready for the wildest first-year stories you'll hear in this space?
Less than 40 days into UGC, still living with his parents, Antoine Boado walked into his boss's office and put in his notice. No safety net, no proven system, and barely 15 deals under his belt.
Host Nate Flake sits down with Antoine to walk through the whole unfiltered journey, from landing his first $1,000 Fiverr gig to hitting a $10K month, crashing hard, and slowly rebuilding with real systems and a sharper business mindset.
Antoine holds nothing back about the burnout, the low-paying retainer traps, and the moment he finally started valuing his work the way brands actually could.
