WhistlinDiesel is a successful youtube channel that is owned by Cody Detwiler. Originally the channel was made for doing crazy stunts with older vehicles. With an experienced background in mechanics, Cody used his skills and was passionate about making interesting content with trucks. He would put on the crazy 3-foot-wide tires on an old truck and test drive the vehicle. After having much attention to this video, he continued to do interesting additions to older vehicles. 

 

Eventually, he had enough support where he bought a 100k truck. With the support he has now, he drives these expensive vehicles and runs them to the ground by doing crazy stunts. He would get the vehicles stuck in ponds, bury vehicles, and push the vehicles to the limit. The cars that people dream to have are what he destroys to make content. In one video, he buys a brand new Mercedes G wagon and then beats it up with a sledgehammer. He also recently released a video testing the Cyber truck and compared it with the ford f-150. His video showed the flaws of the CyberTruck. With this crazy content, his videos get millions of views.

One day in Birmingham, a group of friends were lifting weights at a gym. One of the friends was Ben Francis. Ben was a busy student at college, he had a part time pizza delivery job, and worked out late at night. Working out was his passion. He loved working out so much that wanted to start a business. He began his business by making a few apps and social networking. From this he gained a few thousand followers, but this was not enough. 

Suddenly, the Gymshark domain was made in 2012. Gymshark.com is a website that offers gym clothing. However, in 2012, Ben had no financial stability as pizza delivery did not bring much to the table. Ben solved this solution by giving most of the profit to third party retailers who would drop ship the packages to the customer. And just like that, the company grew rapidly. 

At first, Ben would hand sew each product himself. His vision for the clothing was for it to be fitted, lightweight, and physique enhancing (gymshark). Ben knew there was already a community interested in this product. In terms of brand awareness, it mostly happened on its own. Gymshark was displayed in the right setting, and the community they targeted came. 

Gymshark eventually sent their products to the top lifters in the world and established a strong brand. Today the company is worth over 1.4 billion dollars. Ben Francis is a good example of chasing his passions and creating a brand that impacts the community. His vision and problem-solving skills as a young entrepreneur brought him immense success as he is one of the youngest billionaires in the UK.
