Still kind of shock that 4 years ago, I was still holed up in a hospital wondering if I could *actually* be a nurse for the rest of my life despite desperately craving a creative outlet on the daily

To now being recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 Lister for education and creativity is something I could have never foreseen 

@ugcfoundations has helped +5000 people launch and scale their own UGC business from scratch through educational programs that supply them with the every single resource they need to establish highly marketable skills (from scratch!!) in the content creator economy.

I’m so very grateful for this opportunity, and even more grateful to have so much amazing support around me during all the years it took to get here…

The 17 year old me that spent the last 11 years growing up in a nail salon would have never dreamed this to be her future reality.

Thank you so much @forbesunder30 @forbes and I’ll see you again at the Phoenix Summit in April!! Who’s coming??! #forbesunder30 #arizona taken in Phoenix, Arizona by @ugcfoundations

🏃🏻‍♂️💨 If you want to go fast, do it alone.

🌎✈️ But if you want to go far, do it together. 

And that’s never been more true if you want to be successful in this industry

So here’s how we’re gonna make content creation our full time business in 2025…

I was invited to paint live guest illustrations at a UGC / influencer event in Phoenix, Arizona, hosted by @tran.ugc and truly, every single girl was the sweetest.

The event took place around Valentine’s Day, so everyone showed up with the cutest Valentine’s Day, inspired outfits, which made this live fashion illustration experience so much fun to paint.

Creating custom live portraits for influencers and content creators at branded events like this is one of my favorite things to do. I had the best time, met the most amazing people, and I can’t wait for many more brand activations, influencer events, and live fashion illustraion bookings in the future 💕

AREN’T MY STUDENTS SO CUTE 😭

If you’re new here… hiiii, I’m Tran and lemme introduce myself again 😇

💗 first-gen immigrant (moved from Vietnam in 2004!)
💗 Taurus with a 5-head
💗 Ex-ICU nurse turned 6 figure creator
💗 I speak Vietnamese, English, & Spanish
💗 leading UGC creator coach since 2022

I am proof that it’s possible to thrive in spaces outside of what’s traditionally expected. 

When I first started teaching, UGC was barely recognized as a professional service, let alone a sustainable career path. I was one of the first, and I’m proud to still be one of the longest-standing educators in this space.

Growing up, career paths like nursing or medicine felt like the only options, and for a long time, I thought choosing anything else would make me a disappointment. 

But through UGC, I’ve been able to build a career that’s not only creative and unconventional, but also financially successful. 

I want others from similar backgrounds to know that you’re not limited by your background, and that it’s entirely possible to build a million-dollar business doing something that you actually enjoy!

I founded UGC Foundations to make social media education and career opportunities accessible to anyone, whether they’re looking for a side hustle or a full-time career. 

Since 2022, I’ve taught over 4,000 students, made +1000 free educational videos for the public, helped generate more than $5 million in creator earnings, and opened doors for paid career opportunities with over 1,000 brands.

So as someone who started with 0 marketing experience who still made it work, just know you have an ally in your corner every step of the way!!

did I decide to randomly throw a fancy dinner party + UGC workshop on the other side of the world on a random Tuesday?

yes, yes I did 💗

What started as a simple idea to make UGC more accessible has grown into something so much bigger…

It’s become a worldwide movement of creators building businesses, friendships, and freedom together. 🌍✨

Just three days ago, I hosted my first-ever European UGC workshop and it was magic!!

Creators from across the U.S. and Europe gathered in one room, and strangers quickly became collaborators, confidants, and friends. 🥂

From cocktail hour conversations to behind-the-scenes video demos, the event was filled with connection, creativity, and the kind of collaboration that reminds us why we create in the first place.

In a world where we’re glued to screens, this was proof that the most powerful connections still happen face-to-face.

UGC Foundations isn’t just an online course. It’s an invitation to sit at the table, to share ideas like a fine meal, and to walk away with both knowledge and lifelong connections.

And there’s always room for one more 💫

What began in 2023 as as an all-in-one resource to help creators step into UGC has since evolved into a global community 😭👀

3 days ago, I just wrapped up my FIRST EVER European UGC creator event!!

20 creators from all over the U.S. and Europe who were once strangers, are now connected as collaborators, friends, and fellow business owners ✨

This event brought creators to a cocktail party where everyone was able to network, learn from each others creative processes, and see a step by step demo of how I create a UGC video from start to finish. 

In a time when people look more at phones than at faces, I’m happy to establish a space where likeminded creatives can come together for collaboration, not competition! 

From virtual courses to in-person workshops that carry the energy of an intimate dinner party, where ideas, plans, and possibilities are shared like a five-star meal.

This is UGC Foundations.

And your seat is waiting. 🥂

In 2023, I set the table for something new. ✨

What began as an all-in-one resource to help creators step into UGC has since evolved into a global community.

One that’s connected +1500 people who were once strangers, now collaborators, friends, and business owners.

Inside UGC Foundations, creators don’t just learn how to build a career.

They’re guided from level 0, to landing brand deals, to scaling businesses that feel like their dream life. Some even get hired for paid opportunities through the community itself.

And beyond the education, it’s about connection. 

The kind that feels rare in an age where people look more at phones than at faces.

The kind that lingers. 

From virtual courses to in-person workshops that carry the energy of an intimate dinner party, where ideas, plans, and possibilities are shared like a five-star meal.

This is UGC Foundations.

And your seat is waiting. 🥂 by @ugcfoundations

I had 4% left on my phone when @megan_ugc said to me “Hey Tran, I gotta airdrop you something” last night after our VIP dinner…

I had just enough to call my Uber home, immediately passed out after hosting my first European 7-hour UGC workshop and networking event at @hotel_okura_amsterdam 😭

So to my shock, when I finally looked inside my camera roll this morning, it was a compilation of some afterthoughts our yesterday’s attendees right when we ended and I was busy cleaning up 😭

The UGC community has truly been life changing in so many ways, and the creators that make this community go round have always continued show up in meaningful ways…

I initially launched Foundations LIVE as creative all day “dinner party” where UGC creators can connect, share ideas, learn from each other’s creative process, and set in motion career-changing  decisions that we might’ve been too scared to pursue previously

Our clearly, our Amsterdam event was no exception ⚡️

There’s truly no better way to get energy than to be in the same room with a group of fearless creatives that understand the vision…

Thank you @superprofileforcreators for sponsoring a portion of this event and @megan_ugc for quietly capturing this post-event magic 💗 by @ugcfoundations
