Fake It Until You Make It
White lies? Jeremy Greene shows that sometimes success is scandalous...
"I'm not broken. I'm not gonna let this break me, ever." - Jeremy Greene
A Turbulent Childhood 👶🥺
Jeremy Greene grew up in a fatherless household with a mother who was battling her own life riddled with addiction. Jeremy would often come home to an empty house with no food and would have to call a selection of local bars to see if he could reach his mother. It was understandably a rough upbringing, but it forced him to find creative and scrappy solutions to his problems that would prove instrumental in his future successes.
Free Long Distance Calls ☎️
With an essentially parentless household, Jeremy felt a strong desire to find his father and try to foster a relationship with him. The only problem was that his father was pursuing a music career long distance, and the cost to call long distance was astronomical. Jeremy found a way to bypass paying AT&T for long distance calls and began the search. Would he reach his father or did AT&T catch him red handed?
Hacking MySpace 🤯
We’ve all dreamed of social media fame (at least I have) and for those of us not lucky enough to have found the secret to riding the algorithms, we have to grow slowly and organically. Jeremy decided a great path to success would be to produce music. In some way perhaps this would prove to be a way to connect with his father. In an effort to promote his music, Jeremy found a way to hack his songs to the top of the charts and grow exponentially - seemingly overnight. MySpace caught on to his tricks and instead of banning him or pursuing legal action, they invited him to meet and it contributed to a huge jump in his success.
The Next Chapter
So what next? Naturally after a budding music career the obvious progression is 😂TECH 😂. A multi-facetted man, Jeremy Greene created a custom avatar creator geared for streaming platforms and social media!
Food 🥕 For Thought 💭
"I remember going to watch The Social Network with my best friend and I just got so inspired. I looked at him and was like, 'Yo dude, we gotta build something! Like let's build a website or anything!' " - Jeremy Greene
