Today’s guest is Gohar Khan. Gohar is making it easier for students to write essays, stay productive and study more effectively. He’s got a signature video style — you notice papers and drawings moving in and out of the frame on top of his table while he narrates the story. His style, content value and quality of each video has helped him reach 2.3M followers on TikTok. What’s more impressive is how he uses TikTok to find new customers for his college admissions business called Next Admit. 

Before we get to the episode, here are three things about Gohar you should know:

1. He was an entrepreneur out of the womb and his parents encouraged his inquisitiveness 
2. Gohar started creating content at an early age — he’s been building this muscle for a while 
3. He’s someone that is very talented as a creative and an operator. It’s amazing that he’s figured out how to be successful in both spaces
