McDonalds and they just piled the Oreo on top and didn’t mix it. Just a funny late night rant that for some reason people enjoyed. That is the earliest one I can think of. MIami Living: What made you ultimately decide to pursue social media full-time? Brandon Farris: I had a looming thought before I moved to LA to live in my car of “what if I never make it?” Almost like saying, what if I never become what I want to become. It was one of those thoughts that really sank my heart into my stomach. Thinking that I might work in this restaurant the rest of my life scared me. So that initial thought is what drove me to make the leap to move where the entertainment was and make it no matter what. Miami Living: Your wife is featured in several of your videos, how has she supported you throughout the course of your social media journey? Brandon Farris: I honestly don’t think I’d be in this position without her. Full stop. Period. When I got fired, I had no place to go and she opened her home to me so I could get back on my feet. She made it possible for me to continue pursuing content and it didn’t take long until it started making money and I’m still to this day trying to repay her for that. She’s everything to me. Miami Living: What impact do you hope to leave behind with your social media content? Brandon Farris: Deep down I don’t want to leave a huge impact. I want to leave small impacts in people’s days throughout the time that I’m doing this. I don’t need the big recognition at the end. I just need to do what I’m good at and hope it inspires one person to do what I did and not settle for a life I wasn’t comfortable living. Miami Living: What was your initial impression of Miami? Brandon Farris: I loved Miami! Me and my wife went for work so we had some time to experience Miami and I really enjoyed it! Miami Living: What have been your most memorable moments in Miami? Brandon Farris: The coffee was one of the most memorable moments for me! Not even kidding, it was the greatest coffee I’ve ever had still to this day! One other memorable moment was while drinking my delicious coffee I saw a nude man riding his bike down the sidewalk and I haven’t been able to get that image out of my head. Miami Living: And what is your favorite thing about Miami? Brandon Farris: As I said earlier, my favorite thing about Miami was the coffee and the food! We love to try new foods and Miami had so much and I didn’t have one bad thing! Miami Living: What is something that you still want to explore in Miami? Brandon Farris: I think there is so much that we would like to explore. I’d like to try more food and maybe explore more shops. It rained pretty hard the one day we decided to walk around so we didn’t get to see that much! Can’t wait to go back, and hopefully see that older man riding his bike.
