What’s your name and where are you from? My Name Rassi Collins. My stage name is GTM YoungRocky. I’m from Laplace,Louisiana. Why do you love what you do? I love to rap because when I rap I can be raw, honest and relative. When I’m rapping I may dip into the shallow end of the music pool every now and then, as all genres can, but music is a gift I decided to share with the world. Rappers are no different then book writers, we are telling our story through music.
What makes you different? What makes me different is, I’m a rapper that have a voice that draws you in from the start. Rapping is a great tool to tell my story and tell what I been through in my life and what I’m tryna accomplish. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Well I already started my own music record label. My record label
Name is GTM-Get The Money Records, LLC. In five years I see my label very successful. My record label has 6 artist, 1 artists photographer/creative designer, and 2 producers. What do you want to accomplish in life? I just want to get the most out of the opportunities I’ve been given. To become the best version of myself. I believe that many things we cannot change–such as our genetics, or the upbringing we had–this has a huge impact on us. Also the place where we were born, whether we were lucky on good parents and role models, and so on. But once we grow up and make our choices, we get plenty of opportunities to change something to better in our own lives, and in lies of people we have contact with, be it at work or in our private life. I do not want to let these opportunities pass, without taking them. I just want to be happy in my life, that’s my ambition, a simple definition, but it encompasses a lot of things. I want to have a healthy family, provide for the people I love, make some difference in a company where I work, stay healthy, and so on. Of course all these things demand some sacrifices, discipline, hard work. But I know that when I commit myself to my goals, I am happy making sacrifices, and doing the hard work. On the contrary, if I go to work with no other reason than to earn money, I won’t be happy. What do you bring to
The industry? I bring my unique down south style. I am a genius behind this music. My freestyling skills is an impressive talent to have. What do you want to be remembered by? For some artists, it may be knowing that their work will be cared for or perhaps hang where people may see it from time to time. For others, the goal may be to safeguard a reputation and establish a position in the greater narrative. Quality alone does not guarantee a legacy, but for the most part I want to be remembered for my personality. I want to be the one who they remember for being so caring, nice and lovable. I want to be remembered for always helping others and caring about the environment. If I could somehow make an impact on anyone in a positive way, that’s all that matters. I hope that I am also remembered for being a kind person. There were definitely moments in my life where I wasn’t, but it’s something that I pride myself on now as an adult, especially with seeing how mean people can be.

I am a former D1 football player, I played for Utah State and I had an amazing experience, played on 1 of the best programs in the country in 2018. However, I knew I wanted more purposeful substance out of my life beyond being the man and playing ball. I wanted to help others see the bigger picture and understand their worth as a person before being a pon on a chessboard that makes NFL Owners Billions and leaves them walking always with nothing. So I transitioned into sports marketing and interning for my Uncle Zeke Sandhu who is one of the best sports agents in the world. He represents OBJ, Danielle Hunter, Christian Kirk, he represented Vernon Davis and many more and I plan to follow in his footsteps as an NFL Agent. What makes you different? What separates me is my passion for relationships and people. My mission is to depict the bigger picture to my future clients and portray their earning potential to not only provide for their families but to also create a quality life for their legacy that will live on beyond their playing careers. I have seen this example from my mentor and family friend, who values family over everything. I’ve seen personally his client first authentic relations approach and that has created his 20 plus years of success. So I plan to follow suit and follow his lead. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I see myself a certified NFLPA Agent that represents the top talent in the NFL that will set the standard for high performance, real manhood, and family. What do you want to accomplish in life? I want to create generational success, wealth, bonds, and love. I want to change lives point blank that’s my purpose. I Also know how to identify talent, I grew up in a highly competitive household. My grandpa played for the Cleveland browns and ran track for the University of Arizona, my dad also played football for the University of Arizona. Football isn’t just what I know it’s who I am. I love the game and I love people, what other career path would be better for a guy like me? I can recruit, because I can relate to players and people from all walks of life so that will allow me to relate on all levels including with General Managers to negotiate my clients worth. I also see my self as a very successful entrepreneur in the future. I will own one of the biggest hospitality companies in the entire globe. Catering to all kinds of markets, the athletics market, financial markets, and so on. I want to create a memorable experience for all my clients on and off of the field, and that is exactly what I will do. What do you bring to your industry? I bring my agency’s purpose. Passion and purpose, I will take my own personal experience with football and use it to educate players coming up to help them pursue their dreams. My culture has been handcuffed by avenues of earning money only through entertainment. I’m here to help them monetize that and also see themselves in another light to be able to succeed in life. What do you want to be remembered by? I want to be remember by how many lives I change and how many i can bless with my skillset. Remember me by my body of work and my heart first.

“He Kept Going When No One Was Watching — And That Changed Everything”
No one ever noticed the days he almost gave up. There were no messages asking if he was okay. No one wondered why he became quieter. No one asked how much effort it took just to keep going. To the world, he was just another ordinary man. His name was Ayaan. Ayaan’s life didn’t collapse in one dramatic moment. It slowly faded. Missed opportunities. Rejected ideas. Silent disappointments. Every failure was small, but together they became heavy. He had dreams once. Big ones. Dreams that kept him awake at night, imagining a future where his hard work would finally matter. But over time, those dreams began to feel unrealistic—almost embarrassing. People around him seemed to move forward effortlessly. They celebrated promotions, achievements, and milestones. Ayaan watched from the side, smiling politely while feeling invisible. At work, his efforts were ignored. Among friends, his voice faded. At home, expectations weighed heavily on him. Slowly, a dangerous thought settled into his mind: “Maybe I’m not good enough.” That thought followed him everywhere. It followed him on crowded buses. It followed him into sleepless nights. It followed him every time he tried again and failed. One night, after scrolling through endless success stories online, Ayaan closed his phone and stared at the dark ceiling. His chest felt tight, not because of pain—but because of exhaustion. He whispered quietly, “How long do I keep trying?” There was no answer. But that night, Ayaan made a decision—not a loud one, not a confident one. A tired decision. He decided to keep going, even if nothing changed. The next morning felt the same. The same routine. The same doubts. The same fear of wasting his life. But Ayaan showed up anyway. He worked when no one praised him. He studied when no one guided him. He practiced when no one believed in him. Some days, motivation disappeared completely. On those days, discipline took over. He reminded himself: “I don’t need applause. I need progress.” Weeks passed. Nothing dramatic happened. No sudden success. No recognition. No miracle. But something subtle began to shift. Ayaan became calmer under pressure. He learned to sit with discomfort instead of running from it. He stopped comparing his journey to others. The silence that once scared him now became his training ground. Months later, a serious problem appeared at his workplace. It was complicated, risky, and easy to blame on someone else. Most people avoided it. Some pretended it wasn’t their responsibility. Ayaan didn’t announce himself. He didn’t seek attention. He simply started working. Late nights. Mistakes. Corrections. Learning. There were moments he wanted to quit. Moments when fear whispered, “You’re not ready.” But he answered back, “I’ll learn.” Slowly, the problem began to disappear. Not perfectly—but steadily. People noticed, quietly. One afternoon, his manager called him into the office. Ayaan expected criticism. Instead, he heard a question that stunned him: “Where did you learn all this?” Ayaan paused. How could he explain years of silent effort? How could he explain working when no one cared? He simply replied, “I kept going.” That moment didn’t change his life overnight. He didn’t become famous. He didn’t suddenly become successful. But it changed something far more important. His belief in himself. For the first time, Ayaan understood that life doesn’t always reward effort immediately. Sometimes, it watches. It watches who continues without praise. Who improves without recognition. Who grows in silence. Years later, Ayaan looked back at the version of himself who almost quit. The man who felt invisible. The man who thought no one was watching. And he smiled. Because he finally understood the truth: Life was always watching. Not to judge. Not to rush. But to see if he would keep going when it was hardest. The world doesn’t reward those who only work when they’re seen. It rewards those who build strength in silence. And sometimes, the moment that changes everything doesn’t come with applause. It comes quietly. After patience. After effort. After consistency. That is when everything finally begins to change. Final Message Keep going—even when no one is watching. Especially then.
