I’ve gotten to know a bunch of you through Blossom events, messages, and just being around the community, but I realized I’ve never actually shared much about myself or how I ended up here. For those I haven’t met yet, I’m Tim, I’m 20, and I work as an intern on the Brand Partnerships team here at Blossom. My journey here has been a pretty unconventional one. Growing up, my entire world was gaming. I started playing Fortnite competitively at a pretty young age, eventually playing professionally and getting signed to some of the biggest organizations in esports, including Overtime. Then, before high school, I decided to walk away from it. I had spent so much of my childhood behind a computer that I wanted to experience a completely different side of life. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with business. From flipping cars, to running Amazon FBA, to starting and eventually selling a landscaping business, I was constantly trying something new. Some things worked, a lot didn’t, but I loved figuring out how to build something from nothing. That same curiosity eventually led me to investing. I became fascinated by the businesses behind the stocks. How they made money, why some companies won while others didn’t, and ultimately where I wanted to put my own money. That interest eventually led me into finance and most recently private equity. For a while, I thought I’d stay on the traditional finance path. Then I joined Blossom. It was a completely different direction, but looking back, it brought together pretty much everything I loved: investing, entrepreneurship, technology, and building. And it’s genuinely been some of the most fun I’ve ever had. I’ve gotten to work on things I never expected to be doing at 20, travel across the country for BlossomCon, and learn firsthand what it takes to build a company. But easily the best part has been the people. Working alongside @tigertim , @maxstocks, @brandon , and the rest of the team has given me some of my favourite memories. Everyone here genuinely cares about what we’re building, moves insanely fast, and still manages to have a ton of fun doing it. The culture being built at Blossom is something really special, and I’m incredibly excited to see where we take it. I also want to hear from you guys. If there’s anything you love about Blossom, think we could do better, or want to see us build in the future, drop it below or shoot me a message. I’d genuinely love to hear it, and you’ll definitely be seeing more of me on here :)
