VRILL INSIGHTS |
VRILLED TF UP! |
God does not reward lazy people. |
November 14th, 2022 was the first day I starting making content and posting it on Instagram on the account @Destruism, the precursor to @Vrillerism. |
During the time I was posting on that account I was backpacking South America for 4 months. |
For 4 years (2021 - 2024) I would basically work at a ski resort in the USA, saving money and being a ski bum. Then spend all the money I saved on traveling. |
|
I was 23 when I began, not knowing jack shit about video editing or building a brand. |
But at the time it just felt like a new creative pursuit I wanted to try. |
So as I was traveling I would just make content on my phone. |
I didn’t even own a computer at that time. (I do have a computer now, but tbh all the content u see in IG I still make on my phone). |
My point is that you have a powerful ass computer in your hands and what are you using it for? Musicians are making albums from their phones. You can literally just do things. |
And all I can say as to why any of this has worked out is because I started once didn’t stop. |
Every business model works if you do it long enough (not every business model, but u get what i’m saying) |
 | Fuck this guy, and fuck communism. But u get the point |
|
Another important point is that it’s easy if you enjoy it. |
I’m not gonna tell people you have to grind and hustle at something you enjoy because it gives off the wrong impression. |
I’ve spent the last two days laying in my bed, screen-timemaxxing on my iPhone 13, making content. (Push ups in between of course) |
You could call it a “grind” but I enjoy tf out of it. |
I really do feel blessed to be able to make content that gets seen by people all around the world. |
To me it’s not just making content, I put my soul into it. |
(I wrote a free guide to brand building if anyone wants to learn what I know) |
Anyway, It’s been basically 3 years since I started posting on Vrillerism. February 4th, 2023 was the first day I shared something on that account. |
I started posting on @VrillClub In August the same year. |
 | First vrill club post |
|
Not to mention @vrillsthetics, @vrillosphy, & @vrillcrew. |
I learned how to do all this by doing it (lesson in there) |
While I was posting on all these accounts I was still working normal jobs. |
if you’re a creative, there’s 3 phases you have to go through: |
Work on you passion while working a 9-5 Get paid to be creative through freelance work Only work on your own creative pursuits full time
|
This process takes a while, and i’m still in between the 2nd and 3rd phase. |
a year ago, February 1st 2025, I left the USA and still haven’t been back since. |
I was working at the ski resort (my 4th year there) while also growing Vrillerism and VrillClub and also also freelancing video editing for two other brands. |
I got an opportunity to go work in Thailand with a brand I was working with. So I said FUCK IT and went. |
I realized at that time that I was making enough online to support myself in a different country. So I stayed in Southeast asia for 4 months. |
After that, I went to England for a month to visit my brother, staying on a couch in his apartment. |
Then went to Sweden, stayed with @MJ at his families cabin (this is when we started working together). |
 | Vrill in Sweden |
|
Then went to Cairo, Egypt (stayed in a hostel for 3 weeks) bc It was a cheap place to stay for a while we kept growing Vrillerism and Vrill club. |
After that, spent 3 weeks in Berlin at a German girls apartment I met in Thailand ;) |
Then after that, MJ and I took off to Brasil (we kept seeings signs from God to go there, so fuck it we ball) |
This is where we started to work with @Gabe, the 3rd member in the vrill team. |
Truly am thankful for these guys, working on cool shit with dope dudes is all we really need. |
 | Vriller manifesto, steak, eggs, and Vrill Crew shades. Tf else u need?! |
|
Then we followed the signs again and went to Da Nang, Vietnam, stayed there for 2 months. |
And lastly went back Thailand. bringing us to the present day. |

So why am I telling you all this? Because if you follow your passions, God will put you in contact with the right people at the right time. |
I’m also telling you this because if you follow your passions, your intuition becomes way stronger and you know when and where to go at all times. |
I’m also also telling you this because i’m on the journey of making this brand into something truly incredible, and I know It will happen. and great things take time. But patience is confidence, and i’m enjoying the process just as much as the destination. |
Also Also also i’m telling you all this because none of this shit could have EVER happened if I didn’t just start posting on Instagram. Sounds simple, but there’s so many cool people I never would have met, places i’ve been, and experiences I’ve had bc of it. |
That idea you think is stupid is not stupid, as long as you’re being truly authentic in your creativity, God will reward you. |
I’m also also also also telling you this because my life has taken off so much in the past year and I don’t think it would’ve happened that quick if I wasn’t in a position where I was forced to make it work. |
Your comfort zone will kill your soul. |
And also also also also also i’m telling you this for all you fucking retards that think I’m CIA or a fed who’s getting paid to psyop you. |
(yes the CIA is paying me minimum wage to make schizo content in hostels in third world countries) |
that must be what CIA agents do, who knows. |
Currently Gabe, MJ, and I are planning so much cool shit for the future (events, clothing, meetups) Vrillerism is almost at 22k, Vrillclub has doubled its follower count in the past 2 weeks alone |
And once again, y’all have no idea how grateful I am for all this. |
And the best part is that it’s still only the beginning. |
If any content (or any part of the brands resonate with you) Don’t ever hesitate to DM me or reach out. |
I love talking to you guys. |

|
moral of the story is go fucking work on your passion! |
Make it real! It is possible. |
if anyone tells you your idea is stupid, tell them to go fuck themselves. |
As Shia Labeouf would say “JUST DO IT” |
We’re all gonna make it brah! |
