A decade ago, I was pulling a 24-hour shift with a calf, driving my beat-up Corolla to work, and dreamed of making something bigger than myself. today, I lead a group of American investors who have a US US. Has submitted an offer to buy operations. Life comes to you quickly, isn’t it?
But here’s the thing – this is not just about business. This is about protecting what regular Americans have created on TickTok while making sure this remains true for American values. And a person who has not created his own business without sweat equity and determination, I know one or two things about making something saved.
When I started the company to become an employer.com, it was only I, my laptop and endless cups of coffee in Temple Coffee Rosters in the downtown sacrifices. No fancy VC baking, no trust fund, safety is not net. Only a fire extinguisher who believes that he can help good people with good jobs. Familiarity of sound? It is now a story of numerous manufacturers and small business owners on TickTock.

I still run that Corolla. It is still today after creating an employer.com. Because success is not about fancy cars or angles of corner fiso – it is to be true to your values ​​and remember where you came from. And right now, we need to remember what TickTok really is at its origin: a platform sharing with the world of their lives, their dreams and their thoughts by regular people.

See, I get concerns about Chinese ownership. Like someone whose company helps thousands of small businesses manage their employees’ information, I take data privacy and security seriously. But to ban ticktok? It’s like using a fire hose to place a birthday candle. You can solve the problem immediately, but you will cause a lot of unnecessary damage to the process.
When I was fighting the fire, we learned quickly that sometimes the Best way to save something is to control the situation, just not to close everything. Here we need it – American ownership tickets, so we can protect the platform that depends on our national interests as well as millions of entrepreneurs and manufacturers.
That is why fellow business leaders and groups of investors are joining me in step. We have no silicone valley huge with billions in the bank. We are an entrepreneur who have ground up companies and understand the value of hard work and opportunity. Now, we want to help protect the platform where many Americans are making livelihoods, joining new communities and expressing themselves.
I have seen how ticktoke has become a lifeline for small businesses. The owner of the restaurant in Oak Park, who doubled his business through ticktock videos. The person in Rosville, who left his corporate job to advance his passion for wood operations, made his entire customer base on the platform. These are real people, with real dreams, make real businesses.
When I was starting, I knew that the odds in front of you were like stacking. People tell you that you are not enough, not enough, not enough, not fancy enough to succeed. But here is what I learned: with enough conviction, with enough grit and with the right opportunity, can create something amazing.
It’s at stake here. TickTalk is not just an application – it’s a chance platform for millions of Americans. Yes, it needs to be separated from Chinese ownership. Yes, we need to protect Americans’ data. But we need to do it in a way that saves the platform that many hardworking Americans have faith.

I still work outside the sacrifices and still take coffee in the temple. Because, at the end of the day, it is not going to be the largest or fastest – it is to do what is right and make opportunities for others. That is why we move on the plate. Because sometimes, the Best person to save a valuable thing is a person who likes to make something from anything.
So yes, let’s save the ticktok. Not for algorithms or data or technology – but for millions of regular Americans who have made their dreams on this platform. Because, if a fire extinguisher of Sacramento can form a company that supports more than 10,000 small businesses today, imagine what Dreamers and Builders can do with the appropriate opportunity and platform for the upcoming pay general.
When I was fighting the fire, we learned quickly that sometimes the Best way to save something is to control the situation, just not to close everything.
Remember: Not about where you start – it’s about where you have decided to go. And right now, we are committed to keeping this platform alive for every American, just as I chased me, using it to chase their dreams.

We are grateful to President Donald Trump for providing time and opportunity for American creators to save TickTok. We believe that we have proposed the Best to fulfill the goals of the President to protect America’s national interests, protect user data and ensure tickets, where the freedom of speech is a safe place.
Let it happen. Not for Wall L Street, not for Silicon Valley, but for Main Street, USA. Because we are the same, we have come from there, and that’s it for which we are fighting.
