On a YouTube Podcast, Ludwig shared how he was laid off from his job at the iconic Tech giant, Apple.

Ludwig shares how his dating life cost his Apple Job
Ludwig Ahgren, also knowns as the Mogul, appeared in the “Cold Ones” podcast on October 23, 2022. Hosted by Max Stanley and Chad Roberts, Cold Ones is a parody of the celebrity interview show, The Hot Ones. Instead of eating fried chicken with extremely hot sauces, in the Cold Ones, the host and the guests delve into the adult delight of drinking alcohol.
In the podcast, while being slightly intoxicated, Ludwig shared his early professional life before his online career. He shared how he used to be a Technical Support Representative at Apple Co. He worked there for two-and-a-half years. But he had to walk away abruptly after he was fired due to his undisciplined practices at work.

“I got fired because I showed up late too much,” stated the Mogul. Giving the full context about why he was laid off, he added, “I had a good reason, I worked from home so it’s kinda weird to show up late, but my reason is that my girlfriend cheated on me, we broke up and I was sad…”
This mental state affected his competence at work as he shared, “Every time I would enter a call, dude I would be, I would be so mad, I’d be mad at the poor 70-year-old boomers who just wanna reset their phone so I just couldn’t show up to work, and I would get on the calls sometimes and just threw off my headsets and then just go sit on the couch.”

Even one of the hosts, Chad Roberts, claimed, “That seems like a valid reason to fire you. I won’t lie to you.” And instead of defending himself, Ludwig agreed with the statement as he says, “Yeah I was a terrible employee that’s why they fired me!”
