"I got rejected from every single internship I applied to last summer - consulting, finance, tech, and entertainment. At the very end, I settled for a role at a startup called RecruitU as a social media intern. I grew their Instagram from 0 to 100,000 and my own account from 0 to 50,000. I also grew the company's user base by 400%. I was pretty much their only distributor."
"I learned how to make content by just making content. I flopped for four years making content. Not a single video was successful until last summer.Once one video did well, everything else followed. Roy, Cluely's founder, saw what I was doing and was a fan. He reached out and was like, "Yo, would you be interested in joining Cluely?" I flew out to film a YouTube video with him, and I had no intention of joining Cluely."
Daniel Min was rejected from every internship he applied to and accepted a social-media internship at RecruitU. He grew RecruitU's Instagram from zero to 100,000 and his own to 50,000, boosting the company's user base by 400% as its primary distributor. He learned content creation through repeated experimentation, failing for four years until one viral video triggered subsequent successes. Cluely's founder noticed his distribution skills, invited him to film a YouTube video, and convinced him to join the startup. Min has no technical skills and relies on distribution as his competitive edge amid high expectations and long hours.
