In this episode of Passion to Profession, I'm joined by Ryan from Ryan's Cardhouse, one of the top live sellers on eBay. Ryan turned a childhood love for Pokémon into a full-time business and built a thriving community around ripping, collecting, and live selling.
We talk about:
- How social media drives his business
- Why entertainment and community are core to what he’s building
- The current Pokémon boom and what’s driving demand
- Why live selling is the future of retail
- Building a trusted brand and team from the ground up
- His move to eBay Live and what’s next
Ryan’s story is about showing up consistently, caring deeply about his audience, and always being ready to pivot. If you're a collector, seller, or entrepreneur in the hobby, there’s a lot to take away from this one.
