Introducing Myself

in introducemyself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hey Steemit, my name is Kyle Cotton and this post is just a little bit about me! I just wanted to say thank you to @sevinwilson for introducing me to Steemit. I joined Steemit to be as a way to build my knowledge of multiple aspects of life. I have been on here for less than a week and have already gained a good amount of knowledge from videos I've watched and posts I’ve read, and now I just wanted to introduce myself.

I am a Floridian born and raised. There are multiple different aspects of life that I hope I can bring some knowledge to in the Steemit community. Hopefully, if you do follow me on Steemit, I can help you out with your daily life and bring some value to you in some way! While at times I may end up posting about random things on Steemit, like just life in Florida or life in general, but some of the topics I will touch on are going to be Real Estate, Apple Products, Crypto, and Fitness.

Real Estate 

I grew up with a wonderful father that provided for my family as a Realtor. He has been a licensed Realtor for over 30 years, and growing up I gained a lot of wisdom about buying, selling, and renting houses from him. After college, for a while I followed in his foot steps and got my Florida Real Estate License. I was an active Realtor for over 3 years until I decided that it wasn't my calling. I do have a fairly vast knowledge of the ins and outs of the real estate market and will be posting every so often about my thoughts on the housing market. Although I am not currently an active agent I still very much interested in and study our housing markets.

I've been doing Real Estate marketing basically since I was born! This is an AD my dad put out with me and my sister.

Apple Products

During college, as a side hustle, I bought and sold iPhones, iPods, and iPads with much success. It brought me a majority of my income for about 2 and a half years. During my time buying and selling mainly iPhones, I ended up purchasing over 1000 iPhones, and it ended up leading me in the career path that I am currently on. My first real job in the world of Apple products, besides just buying and selling them, was with a company that subcontracted through Apple doing technical support on the iOS side of things. At the start of this job I was answering calls everyday from people that were having problems with their iOS devices and fixing their issues. Towards the end of that job I was apart of the training program, teaching new employees how to fix the issues of the people they were talking to. After that job I ended up working on the hardware side of Apple devices, first with a iPhone repair company that a friend of mine owned, and now I am currently managing a store that works not only with iPhones and iPads, but all Apple computers as well.

Crypto

If you have read my first post, I went into a little bit of detail about this, but I am somewhat new in the crypto space. I have had a decent amount of success so far and I am learning more everyday. My goal is to not only grow my crypto portfolio, but also share what I am learning along the way in hopes that what I learn can help others as well. I was having a conversation recently about cryptos with someone who has a lot more knowledge about them than I do, and we were both in agreement that we may never know everything about cryptos, but we are both going to strive to learn as much as we can! I hope that I can maybe end up teaching a few people a thing or two along the way, and I can’t wait to learn what everyone else on here has to teach me about the crypto space.

Fitness

Now I don’t pretend to know everything there is to know about getting in shape, or being in shape, but I have come a long way in fitness. I started my fitness journey a little over a year and a half ago. Being over weight the majority of my life, one day I decide enough was enough and I needed to treat my body better, so that I could live the best life that I could live. I have come a long way in this journey, and yet I am no where near finished with my journey, I have maintained weight loss and hope to be able to share some tips and trick to how I have had my success! When I am not reading or learning about cryptos, or working, I typically am at the gym, or trying to learn everything I can about how I can be in the best shape of my life. During my journey I have lost 55lbs overall, and while this may not seem like a lot of weight, I have managed to put on around 20lbs of muscle and have lost about 75lbs of total fat. I have also seen a significant strength gain over the course of my training as well. I hope I can encourage others with their fitness goals along the way. Below Is a progress picture!

Like I said, I have been on Steamit for less than a week and already I have seen many positive things come from being on this platform. I cannot wait to continue to learn from this community, and I hope that I can provide some knowledge along the way! I can't wait to get to hear from people on this platform and hope that I get to know some of you and that we can all grow together! Thank you for reading!

Thanks!

Add a picture or two of yourself my man! It will help others verify you in the community! Once you do let me know and I will resteem this to all of my followers!

Will do!

How did you obatain the Apple products in the beginning? Can you recall which was the first product that you flipped?

The first one I obtained, I remember because I learned a valuable lesson from at the time. It was an iPhone 3G that I was told was a 3GS. I ended up making only $5 on it instead of the $50 I thought I was going to make! It definitely taught me how to tell the difference between the 2 phones, and that you can't always trust people. And the majority I was buying off of Craigslist or friends on Facebook.

I hope that this knowledge will help you blessings ...

Thank you!
