need some help man 28 and lost as fuck

I’m 28, in California, and life has been really painful lately. I need some mentors or real guidance.
Three years ago on my birthday, my girlfriend of 2.5 years broke up with me at Disneyland. Around the same time my dad passed away. I never recovered from either.
I’m genuinely not happy. Just feel numb and stuck.
I’ve been coping in shitty ways:
• Sleeping with escorts
• Heavy porn and jerking off constantly
• Stopped working out completely
• Still 8 classes away from finishing my supply chain degree
I know it’s all making things worse but I can’t break the cycle on my own.
Looking for guys who’ve been through similar shit — grief, breakups, bad habits, feeling lost in your late 20s. How did you climb out? Any honest advice on grief, discipline, school, fitness, or just feeling alive again?
I’m ready to put in the work.
Thanks for reading.

Knows branding / marketing psychology

Can communicate professionally with clients

Has experience in sales, operations, development, or growth

Wants equity energy instead of “just another freelance gig”

Is hungry to build something scalable

Current Direction

RARE INTERFACE is being positioned as a premium digital presence studio with a futuristic aesthetic and high-conversion strategy behind it. Think:

cinematic interfaces

modern branding

conversion-focused builds

AI workflow integration

performance marketing systems

I’m not looking for somebody passive.
I’m looking for somebody who sees the long game.

If you’re serious about building something rare from the ground floor and want to collaborate, drop:

your skillset

portfolio or socials

what role you’d want

why this caught your attention

Let’s architect something elite.

Currently building a new web design studio called Rare Interface focused on clean modern websites that actually convert instead of looking like another recycled template.

Trying to understand what founders actually want from agencies right now.

What annoyed you most when hiring designers/developers?

bad communication?

slow turnaround?

overpriced retainers?

generic designs?

sites that don’t convert?

ghosting after launch?

Would love brutally honest feedback while building this out.

Curious where other web design/dev agencies found their first actual paying clients.

Right now I’m building a new agency focused on modern websites, UI/UX, branding, and startup-style digital experiences, and I’m trying to figure out which client acquisition channels are actually worth scaling early on.

There’s so much noise around:

Cold email

Cold DMs

LinkedIn outreach

Google ads

Referrals

Local networking

Reddit/X

Upwork

SEO

Content marketing

Would love to hear what genuinely worked for you in the beginning and what ended up being a waste of time.

Did your first few clients come organically? Through networking? Paid ads? Outreach? Random luck?

Also curious:

What niche converted best?

What outreach strategy got responses?

How long did it take to land your first consistent clients?

What would you do differently if you restarted today?

Trying to build smart systems early instead of burning energy in the wrong lanes. Appreciate any insight.

I’m currently launching a web design agency focused on modern UI, sleek branding, startup-style websites, and high-converting digital experiences.

Looking for people into:

Figma/UI design

Frontend development

Framer or Webflow

Branding/logo systems

Motion graphics

Creative direction

Social content/design

Trying to create something that feels premium, futuristic, and actually stands out online instead of generic agency templates everywhere.
