Meet Jarra Davis, the 22 year old content creator blowing up on socials at the moment after he won the ‘Kayo Call Up’ competition that landed him an 8 week internship as a presenter on Fox Footy… but he didn’t stop there.

Jarra has taken the opportunity and run with it to not only extend his contract but set up future opportunities, brand deals, and more.

There is a lot more to this Law, Economics & Philosophy student than meets the eye. If you want to learn how to grow an audience of 150k followers, sell yourself to massive broadcasters like Fox Sports, or even repurpose the content you’re creating specifically for decision makers on LinkedIn, you’re going to love this chat.
