OHustle & Motivate, I sit down with real-life underdogs in the world of sports, entertainment, and more. The goal is to bring you entertaining, informative conversations that shed light on how these individuals operate.

Their mindset, how they started, what they’re up to now, and how they overcame adversity on the path to greatness.

The aim is to get your wheels turning.

Realizing that a simple mindset shift opens up a world of possibilities.  Because in the end, you can do anything you believe you can achieve.

Yesterday I got the chance to chat with online entrepreneur Nicolas Sebastian.

Over the past year, Nicolas went from playing video games in a college dorm room to earning a full-time income through the internet.

How did he do it?

I was curious too.  And I quickly learned that it starts with his mindset.

After taking the leap of faith, ditching school, and going all-in on his business, he faced a lot of criticism from those around him.

But instead of letting those voices bring him down, he developed his own underdog mentality, choosing instead to use it as fuel to succeed.

Now he’s doing well for himself.  But he’s only getting started.  Nicolas has amassed a Twitter following (@SelfBrandMafia) of well over 2,000 people, and he’s made it his mission to help others live a life of financial freedom.

Written By

Division III baseball alum (McDaniel College) and founder of Joker Mag. Being cut from my baseball team in 7th grade could have ended my athletic journey. Instead, I found hope in stories of undersized athletes who defied expectations. I ultimately played baseball through college, earning Honorable Mention on the All-Centennial Conference team in my senior season. This experience inspired me to create the world's first digital media platform dedicated to inspiring underdog stories. Since launching in November 2017, my work has been featured on platforms such as FOX Sports, SB Nation, and The Sporting News, reaching over 1.5 million readers world wide.
