Imagine waking up on a beach in Mexico, filming content for a $1,700 brand deal — and realizing that your travel expenses are covered. Sounds like a dream? It's not — it's the power of UGC (User Generated Content).

In this episode, I’m spilling everything about how I built a six-figure UGC business that lets me get paid to travel the world — and how you can start today, even if you have zero followers. I'm taking you behind the scenes of how I got started with UGC and scaled to $5,000 months — all while living out of my Subaru and traveling across the U.S.

If you’ve been wondering how to get started with UGC, how to get paid to travel, and whether you need a big following to make money — the answer is no, and I’m sharing the exact steps I took.

You'll learn:

• How I built a freelance lifestyle while living out of my car
• How a single TikTok video changed my life
• How I discovered UGC and landed my first $5k month
• What it really takes to go full-time as a UGC creator
• How you can skip the $5,000 "big name" courses and learn UGC affordably
