From living in a car to ghostwriting for CEOs: An unlikely success story
A gap year spent living in a car led to an unexpected career in ghostwriting for top executives. With no degree or business background, the writer began crafting LinkedIn posts for high-profile clients while working at Starbucks. Their journey eventually led to founding a personal branding agency in New York. The path started with a year in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, where they lived in a car. Bathing in icy glacial streams and using biodegradable soap became part of daily life. Food was basic—mostly canned kidney beans and cheap sushi wrapped in plastic.
After returning, a UK agency offered a content writing role. The first major break came when they were hired to write four LinkedIn posts a month for the CEO of a global bank. The pay was $1,000 (€865) per month, but the real value lay in the experience. Ghostwriting gave rare access to how executives think and operate across different industries.
Balancing the job with shifts at Starbucks, they relied on the café's Wi-Fi to work. The routine was gruelling, but the insights gained from writing for leaders shaped their next move. After graduating, they moved to New York and launched Seneca, an agency focused on personal branding for executives and investors. From living in a car to running an agency, the transition was driven by persistence and opportunity. Ghostwriting for high-level clients provided the foundation for a business built on understanding leadership. The agency now helps executives shape their professional presence in competitive industries.
