Micah and Sarah Wallace (@micahandsarah on TikTok) didn’t set out to become social media stars. They were professional theater performers working corporate administration jobs to find financial stability. But when a honeymoon video of a “mind-bending” infinity pool went viral, their lives changed forever.
In this episode of the Forbes Top Creator Show, Steven Bertoni sits down with the married duo to discuss the “creator bootcamp” they put themselves through—banking 10 videos every weekend while working their 9-to-5s—and the terrifying moment they decided to quit their jobs and pay for a pregnancy out-of-pocket to chase their dream.
