GE Ep 177 [2016]: How Ryan Blair Took ViSalus from $6M in Debt to $624M in Revenue by Using Challenge Marketing
Published 7 years, 1 month ago
Description
In this episode, Eric shares the mic with Ryan Blair, a #1 New York Times bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, multi-millionaire, and CEO of ViSalus.
Listen as Ryan takes us on a journey through his days at rock bottom—poverty, an abusive father, and gang life—to his days as a rockstar living on his own terms. Learn how he started a venture fund called HashtagOne that invests in technologies that they want to learn about, how he bought ViSalus for $75,000 in 2005 and sold it in 2008 for $32 million, and why he says that being a better student than a teacher led to his success.
