WHEN Zak started selling his dirty socks online, he had no idea where it would take him. Zak told Truly, "I realised there was a massive foot f****h in the world and started selling all my used socks." As soon as the Navy found out about my side hustle, they said you've got 24 hours to leave the ship." Despite the initial shock, Zak soon found that selling his socks would become a full time career. "Roughly on average I make £40,000 yearly; I think that's about half a million pounds," Zak explained. Splurging on designer clothes, exotic holidays and his dream car, Zak's smelly socks have earned him some serious cash. But not everyone agrees with his money maker. "I do face judgement about my job all the time online. Hateful comments that I've had on videos are, 'You should be ashamed of yourself,' 'Get a proper job,' 'You were never in the military', Zak explained. In this episode of Hooked On The Look, Zak will be hearing what his dad, Chris, thinks about his unusual job. Chris admitted, "I was shocked!"
