Ethan Donati Personal Brand Story

How I Went From Crippling Anxiety To Business Owner AndInternational Speaker

As I looked around the room, I wondered if it was true.

Everyone around me was obnoxiously loud, outspoken, and seemingly confident in their own skin eventhough we were awkward teenagers with mouths full of braces.

My teacher had just announced a list of students he claimed would without-a-doubt become successful inlife....

And I wasn’t one of them.

_____

Every day I would wake up anxious for the day before it started. I dreaded being in any social setting -God forbid ​getting called on by a teacher and having to speak in front of the class​.

The question “Why are you so quiet?” was one I heard on a regular basis.
The truth is I’d always been quiet, but it wasn’t until my shyness turned to extreme social anxiety that I

started questioning whether I’d ever be able to function like a ​normal​ person in society.
And on the day my teacher publicly excluded me from the “Kids Who Will Be Successful” list, I knew the

answer.

I accepted my future that life had already planned out for me until my final year, when something insideme switched...

I decided I was done being controlled by my anxiety.I wanted to overcome it.
I was ready.

But I didn’t know how.
______
While I set the intention to find a way, I continued down a path that most of society deems ​normal​...

I got into university on an elite athletic scholarship, got my first job working for pennies as an airportcleaner, and saw the next four years of my life being perfectly mapped out for me.

The only problem was that I kept failing in all social situations, and pretty soon started failing at somethingeven bigger...

______

“Dear Mr Ethan Donati...

The University has reviewed your results for Semester 1 and found that they are below the minimumrequired for satisfactory progress...”

I remember opening the email like it was yesterday.

Despite how hard I’d tried to put myself out of my comfort zone and continue living a “normal” life, my anxiety consumed me - and ultimately - my first year of university.

I failed.

It wasn’t until I took a year off, went back to finish, and sat at the back of the room during a lecture that it hit me...

Maybe I could overcome my anxiety and get my message out by helping other people communicate theirs...

And not just ​any​ people... but the people I related to the most.Entrepreneurs.

______

I realized I related to entrepreneurs since they’re the black sheep. The ones who feel different; the ones who challenge society standards, the ones who are told they’ll most likely ​“fail”,​ and the ones who have a message​ to put into the world...

I figured out the best way to help entrepreneurs do just that was through digital marketing, so I starting dedicating every waking hour to mastering my craft.

Less than a year later, I became a university student building million-dollar advertising campaigns and helping businesses around the world monetize their messages.

I started speaking in front of audiences of 1000’s of people and teaching business owners the secrets behind 7-figure funnels...

Sharing a stage with Gary Vaynerchuk and Janine Allis...
Getting invited to teach over 180 students at the university that once deemed me as ​“failing”.​ ..

What started as a personal goal to overcome social anxiety quickly turned into an international digital marketing agency that helps clients from around the world reach their ideal customers.

Our mission is to help thought leaders and businesses monetize their message through digital advertising- ditching the outdated word-of-mouth strategy and replacing with powerful automated sales funnels.
