Things didn\u2019t quite go to plan \u2013 as he admitted in a viral TikTok video<\/h2>\n

One man was so desperate to work for Logan Paul that he quit his $100,000-a-year job to go and offer up his services \u2013 only thing was, he got rejected.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in 2021, Austin Wallace went viral after claiming he\u2019d packed in his $100k salary job to try out for a job with\u00a0YouTuber<\/a>-turned-boxer\u00a0Logan Paul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He boldly decided to head to\u00a0Cleveland<\/a>, where Paul was supporting brother Jake as he took on\u00a0Tyron Woodley<\/a>, and scam his way backstage.<\/p>\n

But things didn\u2019t\u00a0quite\u00a0<\/em>go to plan \u2013 as he admitted in a\u00a0viral<\/a>\u00a0TikTok video.<\/p>\n

Through tears, Wallace said: “I’m 22, I do make $100,000 a year and that’s cool. I wanna act, I wanna do these things, I’m gonna break down right now.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I don’t know what to do. I did come up here by myself, I do have family but we’re not the closest, and I don’t have really close friends. You know there’s millions of people trying to do what I wanna do. Just watch the clip.”<\/p>\n

Wallace then cut to a clip of the encounter he had with Paul, who asked what he was good at.<\/p>\n

Wallace was brutally honest and admitted he didn\u2019t really have what it took, despite \u2018legit\u2019 quitting his job for him.<\/p>\n

“Then why would I give you a job?” Paul asked, continuing to explain that he couldn\u2019t be a mentor to the fan, but offered up some solid advice.<\/p>\n

“Go make content, make stuff with your friends,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m glad you quit your job, it takes balls to do that, but now you gotta activate. I’m not the guy directly. My team is [mimes something very small] – we’re locked.”<\/p>\n

Paul continued: “Life isn’t about handouts, you’ve gotta work. If you really are serious about it, you should move to LA and just like you approached me, start making connections with every single person in LA.<\/p>\n

“I’m serious, that’s it. I’ve always said, if you can talk to someone, you can make it in LA.”<\/p>\n

YouTuber<\/a>\u00a0GunnarTV shared an update video about Wallace in March last year, noting how he had been \u2018clout chasing a ton of different people\u2019 after being turned down by Paul, including Danny Duncan, Bryce Hall and Dr Phil.<\/p>\n

“My advice to Austin, who will probably watch this, is just make your own content for now,\u201d GunnarTV said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not anybody yet, people do not know you, and you should not be trying to make content that relies on somebody else who is an unwilling participant, because it\u2019s needy, it\u2019s annoying, and in some cases it\u2019s illegal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustin, I really do wish you the best. You seem passionate and I hope you stay positive, so please take my criticisms and jokes in stride, but also hear them out.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWanting to be famous is not good enough \u2013 you need to also enjoy the content you\u2019re making, because it\u2019s all about the ride to the top. It\u2019s all about the journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it seems like Wallace has paid attention to both GunnarTV and Paul, having grown a following of nearly one million followers on\u00a0TikTok<\/a>\u00a0after clearly taking his hero\u2019s advice by making\u00a0a lot\u00a0<\/em>of content on the platform.<\/p>\n

He has YouTube, too, where he describes himself as a \u201823 year old from Ohio here doing me, having fun and doing influencing\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
