Nick might only be twenty-six years old. But at a young age, he’s already achieved many feats. As a motivational speaker, actor, influencer and owner of a clothing brand called Only the Motivated, he’s making a mark in the world. 

Nick Laureano was born in Brockton, Massachusetts. While things haven’t always been easy for him growing up, he has always been driven by his pain and past experiences. All his good and bad experiences lead to him becoming a keynote speaker who influences those who want to find their “why” in life. “Everybody has an inspiring story to share, but some don’t realize their script is still being written daily,” says the multitalented influencer. “On the verge of putting myself in positions to continually win and uplift others along the way.” His mission in life is to influence, inspire, motivate and be a beacon of light for those finding their way.

Nick Laureano’s content and image are valuable because of the work and reflection he leaves on humanity, which speak for the influencer and speaker. In his eyes, when a person gains traction or momentum in his journey, others start to notice their moves and are inspired by them.  “Every step I take on my journey, others seem to want to follow my lead as I’m huge and leaving an impact. People resonate with my motivational videos, powerful speaking and energy I give off. You have to be proud of every step you take in life because most of us thought we’d never come back from such extreme measures”, says the passionate motivational speaker.

The content of this dynamic motivational speaker continues to rise, empower, and spark a change in every individual who watches it. Every day he would get messages on how he inspired someone who was feeling stuck or stagnant in life, and that alone is his “why.” “My goal is to be one of the most recognized influencers leaving a mark on humanity in such a positive light while chasing my dream as an actor,” says the multi-talented actor. His target audience is all who feel complacent with the way their life may look in the present moment. 

Anyone who follows his journey and watches his content daily can easily find inspiration in the young influence. Nick Laureano is very known to have a competitive spirit and resilience to not settle for less than what he deserves. He believes that all have a reason for continuing to strive through life, but for him, no matter how good or bad his life is at the moment, he will not get outworked in anything he does. 

In five years, he sees himself as one of the most significant upcoming actors and motivational speakers of this era. Leaving his mark and legacy in humanity, being remembered as the guy who never gave in to the stigma that he had to settle for others wanted him to be but decided to push forward on his own terms. Although Nick Laureano is very competitive, he still sees himself having his own family, owning real estate across the world, and continuing to be a great influence across the world.

Nyshan Sadler on How to Become a Photographer with High-Level Clients

The career path of young adults is often influenced by several factors like upbringing, childhood community, and educational attainment. Pursuing a profession according to the influences of your formative years is a sagacious decision. However, pursuing your passion can result in a more satisfying career. A person who pursued his passion is Nyshan Sadler, a sporty young man who became an excellent photographer. 

Nyshan Sadler excelled in sports and was a versatile athlete known for his remarkable talent on the basketball court. His original goal was to pursue and build his basketball career into college, but a random encounter with a camera redirected him and his purpose forever. He invested in a camera to have fun with his friends and started capturing pictures. His friends noticed his impressive skills behind the camera, and a seemingly innocent hobby turned into a lifelong passion and calling.

“I was a three-sport athlete my whole life excelling in basketball and wanted to continue that into college. I bought a camera for fun with my friends, and they would always tell me that my photos were perfect, so I took it up as a hobby. My friend Justin was opening up for Lil Durk and asked me to come and shoot his set. I got to stay in the pit for Durk, and I was hooked ever since,” says the passionate young photographer.

“King Von was the first artist to repost my photo. After that show, I shot Jay Critch’s shows for a few months until he sent me a private message with his number for the photos and wanted to work more. I have a cool relationship with TJ Porter. He’s a good friend, and I’ve built an excellent relationship with Darrin Dee, the CEO of Ruff Ryders, and Donjai, the Ruff Ryders photographer, who handles a lot of the stuff. The Ryders team has looked out for me so much since meeting them. I appreciate all his help and support,” recounts the young photographer. 

Nyshan clearly understood that excelling in this industry required hard work and commitment, so he gave himself entirely to photography. Eventually, his reputation was recognized, and he was offered various projects that matched his skill level. The reputation that Nyshan established elevated his career to the next level and gave him more unique opportunities. 

“I was then invited to DMX’s celebration of life at the Barclays Center in April, which was a huge blessing. I shot with Dro Kenji, one of my favorite artists,” says Nyshan. 

As the young photographer’s reputation increases his reach and networks, he is working with various record labels, musicians, rappers, and other photographers. 

“I’m very social, so it lets me fit in every room I’m in, which makes it easier on everyone, I think,” answered the brilliant photographer when asked about what makes him stand out from others. His motivation is the people around him. He thinks that he has shown people that there are more ways to succeed than just having a college degree. He sees himself shooting for significant artists five years from now, doing album covers and press photos.
