We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Chance Dubinick. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Chance below.

Chance, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Earning a full time living from one’s creative career can be incredibly difficult. Have you been able to do so and if so, can you share some of the key parts of your journey and any important advice or lessons that might help creatives who haven’t been able to yet?

I am from a very small town in Kansas named Louisburg. I began reselling sneakers after graduating highschool for extra cash. I then learned that making videos online, could generate sales on my sneaker reselling business online. Working very hard out of my parents house, I was able to start making money doing promotions for big brands as my social media pages began taking off. As soon As I saved up alittle money, I dropped everything and quit my 9-5 job yo move an hour away from my hometown to downtown Kansas City to further my career in social media. After that, it was all uphill from there. I began working big brands like Lids, Popeyes, Nesquik, Puma, and more. While also meeting other creators in Kansas City that had similar visions as me. I’ve always wanted to make social media content for a living. My first endeavor on social media was at age 10 making skateboard videos on YouTube for fun. I always had this l dream and vision from a young age, I just didn’t know how to properly execute.

Chance, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I’ve always had a passion for collecting sneakers and making content. I just had to find a way to monitize and make enough money to pay my bills persuing my dream. Because I knew once I could put all my efforts, every hour of the day into my craft. I knew I could make it work. With no backup plan I HAD to make it work.

For someone trying to get into the social media space, my tips would be make as much content as possible and spread it across all platforms. It may not work at first, but consistency over time is going to take you very far.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect for me is when I put hours and hours of work into something, whether it be content, or starting a brand/project, and it all pays off when your followers/ fan base enjoy it. One example of this would be when me and my good friend @michealartisma did a fundraiser for world cancer day. We were able to raise thousands of dollars that we then went and bought items for kids at childrens mercy hospital off their wishlist. The amount of hours and days of hard work put in behind the scenes wall payed off when we were able to take all that stuff to children in need at the hospital.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

My goal is to make content for millions of people around the world, to take them away from life for just 10 minutes or so, to put a smile on their face. My other long term goal would be to start a business or brand that outlives my name or even my lifetime.
