Christian Martinez is a 29-year-old Instagram influencer, entrepreneur, cryptocurrency trader, and also an AI/Tech enthusiast. Martinez holds a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering and deals in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and so on. He started trading and dealing in stocks while in college and working a part-time job as a lifeguard. He also claimed he used to flip electronics on the side (and still does it to this day, but only as a hobby). Martinez is a car enthusiast who is very fond of Tesla. Martinez’s other side hustles include a mini car rental business and a chauffeur business on the side.
Martinez believes his ingenuity makes his brand and company unique. He has worked three different 9-5 jobs at three different companies; he realized those jobs never gave him a sense of purpose. And as a result of this, he decided to start his own business to fulfill his life-long dream of being his boss and the freedom it presents. Martinez believes that his experience overtime in all his 9-5 jobs and part-time job taught him the value of money (how to spend and save right); it also taught him strong ethics like time management; this, he believes, has guided him to making smart choices and running his business the smart way.
He describes his target audience as uninspired and unfulfilled by their 9-5 working life, people who want to quit their jobs and start their own business. Or high school graduates with no clue on what to do next. People who want to take bold and risky moves but are not sure of themselves, those who want financial freedom, or people who feel like they don’t fit into society’s norms. Crypto and car enthusiasts are also his audiences.
In five years, he hopes to be changing the world and people who aren’t happy with their current situation in life. Help people realize to stop caring what other people think of them and not follow the path that society gives you, like going to college, getting a job, getting married, and then having kids. Teaching people critical thinking and how to think for themselves and not what everyone else tells them to do. He also has plans to expand on real estate and build an iOS app soon.
When asked what his motivations are, Martinez said, “The main motivator for me is that I love the feeling of helping people change their life. I like seeing people change and grow to be better people. In high school, I was also a swimming instructor, so I am a natural when it comes to teaching. I am also tired of people losing their hard-earned money into these fake guru courses. I’m tired of scrolling on Instagram and hearing, “Do you want to work for yourself and be your boss? Tired of your job?” and when I look into the person, I find out that they’ve never even had a job ever in their life. I also feel like the education system does not teach many things, like saving and budget or even investing. I do understand that the purpose of education is to create a product that works as sad as that sounds, but that’s all that I will get at now.”
Martinez hopes this article gives the readers a possibility that regardless of what they are going through, they need to trust their instincts, take a significant risk, visualize their goals, and manifest it into reality.
