The Horrifying Event That Drove Simon Tizon To Become A Well Known Celebrity Media Executive

One simple mistake in a football game can make a lot of difference in how the game ends. One quick turnover can lead to a major setback. It is a fact this turnover will help you foresee if you won or lose. It is very similar with unpredictable occurrences that rise in moments we are blind sided. In any given moment we could lose everything.

Sadly, a rare dark moment rose on the road of a prospering Model, Simon Tizon. In this one moment he made the wrong move and it scrambled him into rock bottom. This was a scary reel of him being heavily assaulted in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the 1st of July 2017. The scary reel, of him losing his left ear. Losing his ear, halting his Modeling career and feeling like his future was taken from him boiled into depression. Missing an important body part took its toll on him. Couple months after the dark traumatic event, Simon was seen sleeping overnight in a nearby parking.

Nevertheless, the struggling moments that steered him poor converted him to a road better than he would not expect. He is now a successful man after founding his own PR company named Crushn Media. In addition to that, he was credited by Yahoo Finance as a “Top Entrepreneur to Watch in 2020”.

His hardships from his teenage years contributed so much strength to him. His persistence and perseverance prevailed during his downtimes. Along those three long years of being short of everything, he hustled and took advantage of the resources he accumulated with his past profession.

Synonymous with Bill Gates, Simon Tizon also did not get to wear a toga and walk up on stage. Who would have thought that those people who did not finish a degree in college would soar high in their chosen industries?

Moreover, Tizon’s outlook in life made him a very strong asset for his clients. Losing a part of your identity sometimes gives people the feeling of being incomplete. Yet, this man did not let this swollow his drive up.

Currently, Tizon has been working with lots of celebrities. He also experienced collaborating with his likes, those who grew up in poverty and he feels very productive and an efficient instrument by being a part of their lives. He has never been so captivated by any other career. Maybe the accident was really meant to uplift his spirit and get the fire inside him to radiate further.

Humble beginnings completely drive people to enjoy what they are doing. Simon Tizon has always been passionate about bringing out the best in every person. According to him, everyone is talented and their talents should be known by the world. He is aware that even overlooked everyday people can be great personalities. It only takes one to believe in them.
