Wallace managed to sneak his way backstage, hoping for a chance to impress.
@_austin_wallace_Well here’s the end result with Jake’s brother Idk what to do at this point.
“You know there’s millions of people trying to do what I wanna do. Just watch the clip.”
“Then why would I give you a job?” Paul responded, explaining that he wasn’t in a position to be a mentor. Paul did, however, offer some advice.
“I’m glad you quit your job, it takes balls to do that, but now you gotta activate.
“I’m not the guy directly. My team is [mimes something very small] – we’re locked.”
“I’m serious, that’s it. I’ve always said, if you can talk to someone, you can make it in LA.”
He noted that Wallace had been trying to gain attention from various celebrities like Danny Duncan, Bryce Hall, and even Dr. Phil after being rejected by Paul.
GunnarTV advised Wallace: “My advice to Austin, who will probably watch this, is just make your own content for now.”
“Austin, I really do wish you the best. You seem passionate and I hope you stay positive, so please take my criticisms and jokes in stride, but also hear them out.”
It appears Wallace has heeded the advice from both GunnarTV and Paul, as he has since amassed nearly one million followers on TikTok by creating a significant amount of content on the platform.
He also has a YouTube channel where he describes himself as a ’23-year-old from Ohio here doing me, having fun and doing influencing’.
