Boot Camper Feature #4 - Caleb Crisp
How the Boot Camp landed Caleb his 1st big job!
I work with 100s of creatives each year and get a wide range of rad humans in these 3-Week Boot Camps...
Some are beginners looking for where to start while others are more intermediate looking for the next steps...
Some are illustrators, painters, designers, bloggers, photographers, animators, videographers, and even coaches...
Some sell digital services, merch, products, NFTs while some don't sell anything at all...
Some are making their mark in their 20s and 30s...
Some are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s still movin' and groovin'.
One thing is common, everyone is hungry AF and ready to bet big on themselves.
Caleb Crisp (sounds like a famous musician's name, right?) is a student I had the pleasure of having in a Boot Camp early in 2022.
He came into the program as a young gun fresh out of college looking to find his path...and just land a design-based job in general.
While he most certainly found the path, what he also gained was mindset, discipline, desire, and community.
I recently got this message via Instagram a few weeks back of Caleb celebrating some wins that were spawned by attending his first Boot Camp!
I always get so hyped hearing wins from students.
Especially from someone so young who is hungry to invest in their personal development and creative pursuits.
I couldn't help but ask if he could go a little deeper on this so I can share these types of transformations with rad souls like you.
Here's Caleb's response on where he was at before his Boot Camp and what takeaways led to his big win...
And why he came back to the following Boot Camps to build off that success!
“
When I attended my first Boot Camp, I was looking for direction. I was an unmotivated perfectionist who didn't know how to prioritize my time.
I had just graduated college and I wasn’t sure how to turn the things I enjoyed doing into a career.
I gained a ton from watching your podcast and past student coaching calls...
I knew that I needed to surround myself with other people who were looking for the same things.
So when I learned about the Boot Camp, I immediately jumped at the opportunity.
Being around others who are pushing themselves made me think hard about the things that I want for myself and then set practical steps to reach those goals. During the session, I gained insight on:
How to prioritize myself and my dreams.
Skills to focus and manage my time better.
How to get specific with what I want to do (and how to do it).
Practicing saying the words “I will” instead of “I want to” massively changed the way I commit to my work.
I started working on projects and preparing my portfolio for the jobs I wanted...
Rather than the stuff that would make me a quick buck, which ultimately helped me land my first job!
In September I accepted the Visual Lead / Graphic Design position at a company called Chike here in my hometown of Abilene, TX.
I now have the opportunity to grow my skills in photography, advertising, package design, branding, and brand strategy (something I didn’t realize I was interested in until Scotty pointed it out in a previous session).
I owe Scotty a huge thank you, and I’m so pumped for Q4 this year.
I can’t wait to continue my journey with the side hustler fam, and I’ll see you there!!!

Fast forward to today, and Caleb is now one of my 12-Week Premium Students and chose to go deeper down the rabbit hole with me.
He’s more hungry and tenacious than ever as he pursues his mural freelance business.
Not only that, he’s learning how to manage himself, his time, and his projects around his day job, gym, and social life.
He’s truly a juggernaut in the making.
This is why I do what I do.
When my students win, it feels like I won the lottery.
What's your biggest struggle and how can we unlock it so you can start stacking W's like Caleb?
There's a reason people come back to these Boot Camps for continual growth, support, clarity, and accountability...
Can I expect to see you there too?
