The GaryVee Audio Experience

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I’m joined by Ronen Harary, co-founder of Spin Master and the creator of global hits like Paw Patrol and Bakugan. We dive deep into his new book and why I believe the decade between 20 and 30 is the most important time to bet on yourself and follow your internal knowing. We also discuss the "Power of Not Knowing," how to handle massive business failures, and why staying in motion is the only way to create real luck.

Ronnen's book No Experience Necessary is available for pre-order. Order your copy today at Amazon, Barnes and Noble or wherever books are sold!
 
You’ll learn about:
The "Inverse Risk" of not following your passion.
How Spin Master survived two years of losses to create Paw Patrol.
Why "fresh eyes" are more dangerous than experience.
The strategy of profit sharing to scale human capital.
How to facilitate difficult "unsaid" conversations within families.

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I talk about the massive shift coming to business through AI and why you need to stop making excuses and start putting in the 50 hours of homework to understand it.
