In September of 2022 I had the opportunity to be in attendance for the first ever Hustle Academy Conference & Expo. This event was open to all, but free for ages 18-25. The two day event was packed with information and gave us useful tips on how to excel in the current world we live in. We got to hear from individuals from different industries and were able to ask them questions, which was great! Through the conference I was able to receive a sponsorship from BDW to learn how to trade, as well as gain mentorship from Lenny Walls himself, as well as Manny Diotte, Yvonne Aceves, and Ymelda Salas.
Since then, I've had some powerful experiences and life changes, and a lot of it is through these mentors! Here's a few that stood out to me:
-a lot of us went to Miami for a business conference for a November weekend and it was incredible! We did so much in the few days we were there and I felt like I really got to see another side of the people I was with! It was a bonding experience for sure! Got to eat a lot of food, hear people speak at the conference, and even were welcomed onto a yacht! Miami was beautiful and the experience from that weekend made it all so much better.
-the mentees have had many opportunities to attend high end galas, holiday parties, and events. The events are so beautiful and it's been a great way to network and get a feel for what our futures may hold!
-As for fitness, I've been able to attend one of Lenny Walls' Hustle Fit Camps (& I'm signed up to take another later this month). The event is free for all and inclusive. Lenny even gave us options to modify exercises based on our physical abilities. The fit camps usually run about an hour long and it's a lot of fun! I would recommend it for those looking for some family friendly fun that also keeps you moving!
-More recently I've been working part time with Yvonne in her marketing business too! Work doesn't feel like work when it's with someone you like spending time with! I appreciate getting to work with someone I trust & learning from them while also being able to put my skills to use!
-BDW and the mentorship I have been receiving also emphasize self-growth, and I feel like I have been able to do that with them through the mastermind meetings they host for us weekly as well as offering a safe space and advice for life events that come our way. They've made a conscious effort to push me to become my very best and I'm so grateful for them and all that they've taught me and continue to teach me! read more
