From Introverted to “That AI Guy on TikTok”

Just a few years ago, I was introverted and camera-shy. I avoided social media for over a decade. I struggled with a speech impediment—with a lisp, unable to say my Rs properly. The idea of putting myself out there seemed impossible.

But something changed. In just 12 months, I went from hiding behind the scenes to building an audience of 250,000 followers on TikTok, generating $300,000 in revenue through short-form video content. Now, I'm regularly recognized in public as “that AI guy on TikTok.”

The transformation wasn't about discovering hidden secrets—it was about building the habit of consistent content creation and showing up authentically, face-on-camera. Because in the AI era, human trust is more essential than ever.
