If you measure your success and growth in comparison to others you will miss your own achievements and trajectory. Compare and despair is a unhealthy place to be and in this fast-paced, ever-changing world of media and content curation it can be easy to get "lost in the sauce". This was Sean's mindset for far too long, he is now able to embrace every experience as part of the journey good and bad. Enjoy the process. "My mess is my message."

It is easy to fall into victim hood, or have imposter syndrome lacking confidence in oneself. Our brain's can be our own worst enemies. He has struggled with those demons for far too long, as well as the "compare and despair" mindset and "the grass is always greener" which never allows one to be present, enjoy the process, see the growth organically, or be grateful for what you have.

Feeling like he started life behind the 8-Ball, born into a family with a history of alcohol abuse and being overweight from a young age ingrained in him to always feel like "an other", or someone different from his peers. This got worse and perpetuated into an unhealthy relationship with himself, others, and society as a whole. Food was his first addiction, love and validation from the opposite sex, and eventually finding drugs and alcohol to appease his lack of love for himself. A habitual marijuana smoker, drinker, and sampler of other illicit substances this was a crash course in debauchery that took him on a 2.5 decade journey into oblivion that he was fortunate enough to grind to a halt in June 2017 when he got his 3rd DUI and sought the assistance of the recovery system in Orange County, CA. He needed an escape from himself, his geography, the ghosts of his past and present, and start fresh in the area he hoped to finally start making career strides in if he maintained his sobriety.

Living and working in Los Angeles it can be easy to fall into these tropes and traps. Everyone here has 8 separate hustles that pay. Everyone here is working with or has worked with someone you idolize. Stardom. Fame. Glamour. The high-life all seem one Instagram post or TikTok viral video away from catapulting your life into the 4th dimension. Few want to put in the actual reps or time to get there and that's what sets him apart. Growing up outside of Washington, D.C. Sean was blessed with a stellar work ethic, a determined mindset, and an exuberant personality that enables me to stand out amongst his peers and the general public. After cutting his teeth in the music, culture, and arts scene along the East Coast he moved out to California to clean his life up, get sober, and test his mettle professionally because he wanted to give 100% of himself to see if he had what it takes to make it in LA. 6 years later, sober and thriving in one of the most competitive and cut throat industries in existence he's persevered on and continued to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of the LA creative community.
