TyDeBo’s $250,000 tournament story sounds like something out of a movie.
First, he had to survive a massive comeback.
Then, less than 24 hours before the biggest games of his life, he got locked out of his account.

TomFM did not start youtube with a crazy business plan
He started at a university making Football Manager videos in his spare time
Years later, the hobby became a full time career
Here's the path
Around a year later he left his full time job all together and went full time on youtube, his description of it was perfect

Here's what persistence actually looked like
The question isn't "Is this working yet?"
The better question is am i improving enough to justify continuing
Early numbers are feedback not the final verdict
