How 14-Year-Old Ryann Wealth Grew to 125...

Edward Sturm
About this episode

E405: Ryann_Wealth started a new self-branded (not faceless) Instagram and in two weeks got to 125,000 followers.

He walks around his parent's house talking about entrepreneurship. He is literally 14 years old.

His new brand is already making money.

Ryan is making use of the Curious Learner Bias.

He is not an expert entrepreneur, nor does he claim to be.

He's learning every day and sharing what he's learning.

But he's also doing it in polarizing ways. The tactics he uses are extremely repeatable - for any brand.

This is an inspiring episode. If this 14-year-old can do it, anybody can. There's no time like the present to start.
