Today we’d like to introduce you to Andres Botero.
Hi Andres, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My journey began with a passion for content creation and a goal of growing my Twitch.TV channel to generate some extra income while having fun doing what I love. However, things didn’t take off as I had hoped. That’s when I decided to expand my reach and started posting on social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. To my surprise, a few of my posts went viral, and I realized I could monetize social media in ways far beyond just Twitch.
At the same time, I was fully immersed in my career as a golf instructor at GolfTec, where I held the position of Director of Instruction in Naples. But by October 2023, I felt a pull to shake things up. I set my sights on moving to Orlando—a vibrant city with new opportunities—and in April 2024, I made that dream a reality.
To align with my evolving goals, I stepped down to focus solely on instruction at GolfTec, which gave me the breathing room to channel more energy into my growing social media presence. Since then, I’ve been steadily expanding my platforms and reaching the milestones I once only dreamed about.
Being in Orlando has been invigorating. It’s a city full of energy, and it inspires me every day to push boundaries and stay on this path of growth and creativity.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
moments of self-doubt. One of the toughest periods was in December 2023 when I posted content that backfired, leading to a massive unfollowing on Instagram. It was a blow, especially since I was already planning to step down from my position in Naples. The pressure was overwhelming, and I found myself questioning, Can I really grow and monetize like other creators?
This year brought a new challenge: in June, I got a puppy. While he’s been a source of joy and has helped me mentally in so many ways, those early days added stress and even more sleepless nights. It was another hurdle I had to overcome.
Content creation itself is no easy path—it’s a constant balancing act. You’re putting yourself out there, curating an image, and striving to connect with an audience. When something you’re excited about doesn’t land the way you hoped, it can be a heavy blow mentally. But through every stumble, I’ve learned to embrace the process. Each challenge has shaped me into someone who’s stronger, more resilient, and more determined than ever to succeed.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My work spans three main areas: nerd culture and cosplay, fitness workouts and advice, and lifestyle content. On social media, I share posts like “Get Ready With Me” videos, my hair and skincare routines, updates on my puppy Goku Tiger, and insights into my daily life. On Twitch, I bring these same passions to life in a dynamic live setting, connecting directly with my audience in real-time.
What I’m most proud of is my work ethic. Streaming 25 hours a week, working a full-time 40-hour job, and dedicating 5–10 hours weekly to creating content is undeniably exhausting—but it’s also incredibly fulfilling. I’ve learned to pour my energy into what I love, even on the tough days.
What truly sets me apart is my joy. I work hard to radiate positivity and happiness in every post, even when life gets messy. At the same time, I value authenticity. I’m not afraid to let my audience see my struggles or witness my vulnerable moments—whether that’s admitting when I’m having a tough day or even shedding tears while live on Twitch. It’s that balance of joy and realness that helps me connect deeply with my community.
What’s next?
My ultimate goal is to transition into being a full-time Twitch streamer and content creator while continuing to share my passions with the world. I envision a future where I can seamlessly blend my expertise in golf, fitness, and streaming into a cohesive studio setup—a space designed to fuel creativity and share my journey with my audience across YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, and TikTok.
Alongside content creation, I plan to keep offering golf lessons and personal training as ways to stay connected with the skills that have shaped me. It’s exciting to think about building a space where I can produce engaging content, teach, train, and inspire—all under one roof.
Big changes are definitely on the horizon, and I’m looking forward to turning this vision into a reality. Each step I take now is about laying the foundation for this next chapter, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come.
