After football, he become involved in Marijuana Dispensaries where through the “school of hard knocks” he learned many lessons about entrepreneurship. Demetrin credits many of the opportunities he has seen in life to the relationships he has with those around him and those he has connected with throughout his journey. Instead of going into situations with people asking “what can I get from them?” he believes in being open minded and truly connecting with the person. He encourages us to engage with people as people and find the commonality between us. A random encounter, lead to Demetrin purchasing some bitcoin which he later sold for over a million dollars! Never underestimate these random encounters! Demetrin recently received his residency in Sweden and has launched a coaching business to help young athletes there. His world travels have taught him that open mindedness and curiosity are key in connecting with those around him. As far as he is concerned, there is no education better than just getting in there and doing it - and always be learning! Today, Demetrin is involved with Sound-Fi and encourages you to watch for Sound-Fi to come to a theater near you - prepare to be immersed in the movie! He encourages us to remember to practice self-care and breathe, not to lose ourselves in the hustle and bustle and to enjoy the ride.
