Logan Paul and Jake Paul are two of the most popular and marketable individuals as of now. The Ohio-born brothers have been making headlines throughout the year with their boxing matches that have broken PPV records.
Logan was in Ohio last Sunday, supporting his brother Jake during his fight against Tyron Woodley. At the event, an Ohio native named Austin Wallace took this opportunity to introduce himself to Logan Paul. He snuck in backstage to meet ‘The Maverick’.
if you thought “i’m gonna quit my 100k paying job today and it’s gonna be alright because logan paul will give me a job after i sneak into an event to meet him” then damn maybe you’re too dumb to even work for him

Wallace received a lot of backlash online for his questionable actions. The 22-year-old reportedly quit a $100,000 a year job to work for Logan with no credentials or experience in the influencer space. Fans sided with Logan Paul, who dealt with the situation with maturity.
Tiktok dude: I quit my job making $100k a year to come up here and ask you for a job.
Logan Paul: Nah.

“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.” Wallace said on a video posted to his tik tok page. “What are you good at?” Paul asked him. Wallace replied that he knew how to do tik tok dances and basically admitted he didn’t have what it takes.
This video is wild but what Logan Paul said something so real. He asked what is he good at, and instead of selling hisself he down talked himself to which he said “then why would I hire you”. Facts. So many people unnecessarily downplay themselves for other people’s comfort. https://t.co/iWEMP2j1vd

“Then why would I give you a job?” Paul replied.

“Go make content, make stuff with your friends. I’m glad you quit your job. It takes ba**s to do that, but now you gotta activate. I’m not the guy directly. My team is [mimes something very small] – we’re locked.” ‘The Maverick’ then 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. I’m serious, that’s it. I’ve always said, if you can talk to someone, you can make it in LA.”
Logan Paul is completely right. You quit your job without a backup plan? At least have another source of income from your passion so you'd want to make more. No skills, no friends, no connections, no job. It's not looking good. His best bet is to beg for his job back
