Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Merino.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Being an entrepreneur started at the age of nine when I was selling classmates chips and caprisun drinks at lunchtime. I have a background in sales and have been a top Sales Rep in Verizon wireless authorized dealers. I have also been sales manager and team leader for other various companies. Covid is what put a fork in the road for me and forced me to get creative with where I wanted my life to go.
I started creating sports-related content for YouTube and a podcast. I had a big emphasis in fantasy football and gathered a big group of supporters very early. I also started community building and it’s all based around helping others on a week-to-week basis. Going into year two of being a content creator/influencer, things are looking as good as ever! I have also branched out and am now a digital investor and invest in multiple markets daily, such as the foreign currencies market. I have created a brand that a lot of people around the world are now supporting, and it feels awesome! I love connecting with others and going onto others’ podcasts and YouTube channels to talk sports or just talk about life and everything in between!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Some struggles along the way in 2007 were going to jail for Marijuana before it was 100% legal in California. It was only for four months but being in the system for three years after kept me in a messed up circle for a few years. Operating in the grey areas of the law in the California Medical Marijuana industry, I had to pay a debt to society also in 2009 and do a year of house arrest in 2014. All marijuana-related and all things that now would have been 100% legal. The final struggle along the way was in 2020 when I was laid off while being owed about $15,000 in unpaid wages from a marketing company “Hyper Farmer.” This was the thing that pushed me into coming up with the most creative business venture I could have ever started!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My business is a fantasy football advice business and community. I am a content creator, and the content is based around fantasy football and answering people’s questions regarding what they should do on a week-to-week basis. I also offer advertising services for other fantasy football content creators. My brand is known for being consistent with helping others. My brand is known for being a part of the marijuana community. A lot of people love that I can partake and be very knowledgeable at that same time.
I’m proud that my brand is all about my personality, and others have found me who are very similar and who have been looking for someone like me to spend their time with. I would like the readers to know that if you are interested in playing fantasy football or need help with your fantasy football teams, search me on YouTube “Fantasy Football Hustler” and search me out on Instagram & Facebook – @FFhustler, and find me on Twitter @FFhustler420. Also, find me on all podcast platforms out there “Fantasy Football Hustler.”
How do you think about luck?
I have my ups and downs, but I can’t really base much on luck. I outwork the others in my industry, and I spend more time helping others compared to others in the same industry.
