We had the good fortune of connecting with Jay Vargas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jay, how do you think about risk?
Taking risks have played important parts of my “career” by being more successful than I would have 1 or 2 years ago if I was being safe by just being home going to work and school and not doing social media like I am

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I got to where I needed to get by giving up and realizing if I gave up I won’t know how far I can get if I don’t keep going and working hard. It’s certainly not easy still not easy there will always be people who are haters and will always be a problem infront of you but I gotta always have a situation. The lessons I’ve learned along the way are never give up invest in yourself it will come a long way, believe in yourself when no one else does because when you do make it you realize who your true friends are. I want the world to know that I’ve been through a lot I graduated in 2020 during Covid started doing social media then went to college at the peak of Covid affected my mental health but was playing soccer I moved to LA then to Texas then to Arizona to live in a content house then move back to Texas cause it was for me

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my friends visit me I’d take them to Tempe town lake, the sunsets are beautiful then go to the west 6 in Tempe go on campus at ASU make some videos with my friends and some of the students then after get some boba at bosa donuts then go to chipotle
