Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Joey with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
My dad’s experience as an entrepreneur and owning skateboarding businesses has been a great inspiration for me to pursue my own path.
In any industry, learning from those around you is crucial, and it’s fantastic that Arman Izadi, who has managed Internet personalities like Logan Paul and Jake Paul, has played a significant role in shaping my knowledge and skills.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Keep being consistent and following your gut. I think most people like me wouldn’t drop out of high school and choose to move out of their own state at 17. I guess I was pretty hard on myself and wanted to start something new. I don’t regret it, whatsoever.
Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?
It’s now been 1 year learning Mandarin Chinese. It’s so random, but growing up with my brother we also studied different languages, and one day I met someone who spoke Chinese and I said, “yeah, watch me learn this.” And that person actually had the patience to teach me.
Now I’m partnered with an agency that helps creators and celebrities create their own brands in the Chinese market and vise versa and think it’s something that will continue to grow.
