We had the good fortune of connecting with Aiden (Aidxnft) and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aiden, how do you think about risk?
Risk has defined the last six months of my life. From dropping out of college a month into my TikTok journey to moving across the country at 18 to chase my dreams, risk has played a huge part in my life. I think about risk as an opportunity. Where taking a risk and failing is an opportunity to grow and learn, and taking a risk and succeeding only furthers my passion to chase my dreams. Taking risks is part of life, and without risk, I would not be where I am today.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Our content took the storytelling genre and put a twist on it. This opportunity has allowed me to work closely with my friends, doing what I love. I am most excited about the content we plan on making in the years to come. I am most proud of the obstacles we’ve overcome to live near and with each other so we can create content every day. There were difficult times and obstacles to overcome, but no matter the challenge, I have overcome it with the help and support of my friends and family. Along the way, I have learned to take it slow and be patient. Good things do come to those who wait and listen. However, the world should know we are only going to grow and create better content. I only began my journey six months ago, and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite thing to do is to create content, and there is no better place than the Houston Galleria or First Colony Mall. I also love taking pictures, and one of my favorite spots is the MF Doom mural with all of the amazing graffiti. For food, you have to hit the classics, Whataburger and Texas Roadhouse. You can’t go wrong!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My manager and best friend Daniel Starnes. I met Daniel over two years ago now and he has completely changed my life. He and I have spent countless hours researching and learning about social media, and under his guidance, I have been able to achieve rapid success and growth on all platforms. Besides that, he is one of, if not the most generous person I have ever met. He offered me my first job when I was 16, and we had really just met, and from there we have learned and grown together as a team. In addition to all of that, he has made me the person I am today. A much more confident and outgoing person who is not afraid to go through challenges and take risks to follow my dreams. Despite living across the country, Daniel and I have been able to travel together on numerous occasions, all across the country. Now we live just a few minutes away from each other and plan on continuing our journey with TikTok and YouTube over the coming years.
