We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Adrian Johnson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Adrian , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
One risk I’ve taken was going all in on social media. Being vulnerable enough to do what I love on camera in front of the whole world
Adrian , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Adrian Johnson I’m a professional cornhole player, motivational speaker, and social media star. I have the largest following in cornhole in the world with over 1 Billion views combined on my videos. I’m from Virginia grew up rough decided to give something new a try and it has opened doors that I couldn’t imagine before. Gave me the ability to connect with super stars from the NFL,NBA, Movie Stars, and some of the biggest rappers in the game like Drake and more. Whether they follow me for my creative videos online, the love of cornhole, or one of my motivational speeches touched them it’s a pretty cool feeling. My goal is to use my platform to continue to spread positive and uplift those that follow me all while chasing my dream to become the #1 cornhole player and motivational speaker in the world. If I can change so can you because life is so much bigger than the neighborhood we come from.
Please list all my social media handles in the article asking to follow for more updates. My social media channels all can be found here on my linktree but very important to share them all https://linktr.ee/Acl_pro_adrianjohnson
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I built my audience on social media by being authentic, not being afraid to fail, being creative, and most importantly adding value to all my videos. Anyone who follow me can learn something valuable and that’s a great win
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal is simple . I will be the #1 player in the world in cornhole, use my motivational videos to connect with the youth especially the ones coming from the inner cities that the rest of the world wrote off. Show them that it’s possible to make it if you apply yourself. Take chances and learn to live life.
My ultimate goal is to be a man that both my children can look up to and be proud
