Just 2 months ago Nathan Apodaca, a.k.a Doggface208, was living out of his RV.

He was working as a laborer at a potato warehouse in Idaho bagging and stacking potatoes, fighting fires and embroidering beanies with the best of them.

Then, Nathan went viral on TikTok when he took just a few seconds to film himself drinking some Ocean Spray cranberry juice while long-boarding to work to the tune of Fleetwood Mac’s "Dreams."

His life changed forever.

Since posting the video, he's made thousands from sponsorships and recently paid $320,000 for a new house - all in cash.

He also just got engaged to his girlfriend of 14 months, who he met at the potato warehouse where they both worked.

Moral of the story - your life can change if you are bold enough and brave enough to be vulnerable.

Let the world see you - the real you.
