A Youtuber and Entrepreneur, Ryan Trahan started at 14 to become an entrepreneur. He started a simple water bottle business that would later help make him into a millionaire. Starting his YouTube channel in 2015, Ryan posted about his daily life at college as a student athlete. However, he quickly gained followers due to his creativity and humor within his videos. Having adopted just 30,000 YouTube followers and juggling his business, Ryan was pressured with his college or his business. His school had set a tight rule with him, as a student athlete, making it so he couldn’t brand himself properly while in college. Because of this, Ryan had to choose between a high-risk endeavor or the college route, and he chose the entrepreneurial side. Ryan had the same mindset Peter Thiel speaks of, saying, “I view creating as entrepreneurial. Creating something from nothing has always been ingrained in me.” Thus, his career rocketed. His small water business became a great part of his revenue. The business, known as Neptune, was built to create sustainable water bottles which would reduce plastic waste. With his social enterprise, Ryan also used his business to support several organizations centered around cancer.
While Ryan had Neptune blooming, he also opened up a clothing line called Hydra Collection, which became his personal merch on his social media accounts, as well as another clothing line, Howdy Howdy, and a candy company, Joyride. Creating innovative videos on YouTube and establishing his businesses across the world has made Ryan Trahan into a wealthy, young entrepreneur. From going on live television to creating television series of his own, Ryan meets every corner around the world to grow and engage with his audience.
Ryan is known for his penny-to-a-house series and simply racing people in airports. Through his creative and entertaining work, he has amassed 17 million followers on YouTube with over 3 billion views worldwide!
This is a really cool story! Ryan seems like a very creative entrepreneur and I love that even though he had to risk dropping out of college, he chose to take the risk. If he had stayed in college and delayed starting his business, he probably wouldn’t be anywhere near where he is today. That decision to drop out of school ironically opened so many doors for him and allowed him to expand his businesses even more.
I love to watch Ryan Trahan’s YouTube videos! He is very amusing and has great creative content. It is also really cool to watch his entrepreneurial ideas flow. He does well with documenting his ideas online so that everyone can join him in his adventure. I didn’t realize he started so many businesses. He is so determined to succeed. I like how you mentioned his penny-to-a-house series because those gained him lots of popularity. He uses his humor and creativity to market his companies and ideas to the world. Ryan Trahan is certainly a fantastic entrepreneur.
Hey! This post stuck out to me because I actually watch Ryan’s YouTube videos! You wrote this well. I’m glad you focused on his backstory and how he dropped out of college to pursue a career as a content creator rather than only discussing his achievements. Good job!
