Lennox Saint is the Threads Guy.

In 2021, Lenny graduated with a Juris Doctor law degree from the University of Western Australia. However, a year earlier, he became depressed, realized he hated law, and couldn’t envision a career in it. So on graduation day, he quit to start Saints Coaching — inspired by his late mum’s emphasis on quality education and her own business, Saints Clothing.

Despite investing 3,000 hours and $80,000 into a failed course, Lenny persevered. Since July 2023, he’s spent 1,500+ hours creating Threads content, building a community of over 6,000 followers.

Recognized by Buffer as one of “7 Creators on Threads to Watch,” Lenny continues his mum’s mission with Saints College, a Skool community for Threads creators, now boasting over 500 members and ranked as a Top 500 Skool group.
