Jack’s ‘sliding doors’ moment

Jack stumbled into his career in content creation by “pure luck”. Finding himself isolated during a 12-week COVID lockdown, he started posting videos on TikTok to get laughs from his mates.

“I think the first one got about 600 views, which I was amazed at because I didn’t have 600 people I knew,” Jack says.

Today, he collaborates with corporate giants like Toyota, Amazon Prime and the AFL, and says being a creator is like running a small business.

“You need all the financial know-how of how to structure things correctly and manage the income and expenses for tax deductions,” he says.’

Jack’s advice for young people wanting to pursue a similar path? “Be fluid and open to taking chances and calculated risks.” You never know where a little TikTik video might take you!
