I paid off $46,000 in student loans in two and a half months, on money
I made from a laptop while I was still in school.
That turned into a content business doing about $10,000 a month, with a
peak month of $33,000. None of it started with money — it started with
the free stuff below.

9 free certificates worth putting on a resumeCERTS
I had no money for bootcamps going into my first internship search, so I built the
resume off free platforms instead. All nine are free to start.
I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona in August with a
mechanical engineering degree.
Three consecutive summers at Lockheed Martin, in supplier quality.
Before that, an internship at Intech Mechanical doing HVAC and
sustainability compliance.
What I will be specific about is how I got there, because that's the part nobody
shows you. SpaceX rejected me. So did a stack of other aerospace companies.
I sent over a hundred cold LinkedIn messages and booked coffee chats with people at
NASA, Tesla and Boeing before any of it worked.
I'm in the gym most days. Same thing as the rest of it — you show up on the days you
don't feel like it, or the whole thing is just talk.
And I'm founder and CEO of Off Mute Studios, a business I built from
nothing and still run. That's the part people assume takes talent. It takes a schedule.
