On todays podcast episode of "The More We Know" I interview youtube star Ryan Scribner, who was rated the #1 MUST watch Youtube channel for making money by Forbes! He has over 650,000 Subscribes on Youtube and runs a popular blog you should check out: https://www.investingsimple.com/
You may recognize his face from his youtube videos but who is he?

Ryan Scribner started his online business journey back in 2016 when he launched his YouTube channel. After investing on his own in the stock market, he decided to document his investment journey on his channel. Fast forward years later, Ryan has a massive channel with over 500,000 subscribers, making him a key influencer in the personal finance space.

In 2019, he was recognized as the #1 must watch YouTube channel for making money according to Forbes magazine. After dominating the video creation space, Ryan Scribner diversified into blogging with his business partner Ed Canty. Ryan is the co-owner of the rapidly growing personal finance blog Investing Simple.

Just a few years ago, Ryan was working for his local power utility company as a past due bill collector. His job was to go door to door, shutting off power for a living. After realizing this was not the path for him long term, he became obsessed with online business. Now, Ryan earns his former annual salary from his old job each month as an affiliate marketing expert. He left his 9 to 5 behind in 2017 and hasn’t looked back since.

We had a great podcast chat on pursuit of your dreams, not listening to negativity, the tik tok robinhood craze and much more- this was such a fun interview!

Make sure you are following Ryan on his blog for so much more investing education- it is such a great blog:

Anthony Zhang is the Co-Founder and CEO of Vinovest a platform where you can invest in fine wine!  He is featured on Forbes, NBC News, People Magazine and more. Anthony is a repeat entrepreneur who has previously founded and sold two companies, EnvoyNow and KnowYourVC. He has also held leadership positions at Blockfolio and is a board member at RateMyInvestor. Anthony is also a Thiel Fellow. 

Anthony has an amazing story, he is a college dropout, but has been an entrepreneur through his college career as he has already sold two businesses at a young age of 25. Anthony has stated that his big shift was when he skipped class one day to go see Mark Cuban and Mark Burnett- where he was actually able to pitch to them and secured a $100,000 investment for 5% equity in his company. As he continued to work on his start-up as you hear him speak on this podcast and on as an article on Medium.com describes it, "Anthony was faced with great adversity. Anthony was in an accident in a swimming pool in 2016 which left him paralyzed from the neck down. He was in the hospital for months and took some time away from his business to work on his recovery. Anthony’s physical rehabilitation is a priority in his life, and he continues to work on his recovery today" (Medium.com, Matt Shaffer). 

That being said even as he is paralyzed from the neck down he is a WARRIOR changing up the investment space by allowing the everyday investor to invest in Fine Wine- an asset that does not have real correlation to the stock market sort of like gold (Disclaimer: neither Anthony, or I are providing any investment advice in this podcast). It is a really cool alternative investment that has an exceptional founder heading it. Anthony spends time on this podcast helping educate you on why you should keep pushing and striving through adversity. Because life will get tough, but look at Anthony he never quit, never stopped, and just continues to ADAPT!

On todays episode of the More We Know, we have Emmy Award winning actor and producer Robert Ri'chard who you may know from his role on Coach Carter, Cousin Skeeter, House of Wax, Empire, and MANY MORE! See a list of his full titles here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0722647/

Famous film and television director Brian Robbins describes Robert as a sniper in cinema, “If you need to shoot the best scene in your movie and you have one take, you call Robert Ri’chard.” Emmy Award winning actor Ri’chard (French pronunciation) has a strong love for collaborating and creating the best work. The expansive spectrum of his roles has garnered screen time with box office juggernauts Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Alec Baldwin, Oprah, Forest Whitaker, and Vanessa Williams. If you ask Robert to describe the work in his future he would beam his bright smile and say, “ Running, carrying the hero’s weapon, and kissing the lead actress.”

Robert came from extremely humble beginnings and build a vastly successful name for himself on the Hollywood scene.What separates him is his "can do" attitude, and competitive sports like energy+spirit. I brought Robert on the More We Know podcast to help inspire and motivate the Gen Z's and millennials.

Robert is also an entrepreneur and founder of #HighwayFit. He is also partnered with "Epm" products- "better science. better medixine"- check them out at epmproductx.com

"Your career is like your bank account. The more you deposit into your career the greater your return will be."-- Kareem Grimes

Actor and producer Kareem Grimes most recently on CW's "All American" as the character "Preach" which has been a SMASH hit, comes on the show to talk about self belief, motivation, his journey in acting and more! Kareem has had a plethora of experience and has been an actor who has made 80+ appearances. He became very popular within his different roles like Boyz in Da Hood, All American, SWAT, The Shield, and many more. He has had many different roles, and has stole the audiences heart with his character preach on All American. He is also the co-founder of an app called "face pop" on the app store now, and on the android store in the near future. But aside from his amazing talent, is his work ethic. In this episode he highlights to the Gen Z's the importance of having a short term memory, so you can bounce back through any rejection and keep moving forward. We look forward to seeing Preach back in action in season 3 in 2021, and hopefully he is free this upcoming season!

Daniel Alonzo is a wealth expert, entrepreneur, media personality, podcaster, speaker and author of the forthcoming book Wealth on the Beach. He brings his messaging of creating a life of passive income and financial independence to 30,000 organic social media followers and speaks in front of hundreds and thousands of people a year who also has a net-worth of 17 million+

From a very early age, Daniel Alonzo knew he wanted to be somebody. When an injury in college ended his dreams of playing high level baseball and his dreams began to fade, one of his friends introduced him to a Leading Financial Services Company. From that introduction, age 21, he knew he wanted to win in business.

Even though he endured many rejections, he knew he had to commit. He was young with very little credibility, so he had to get up earlier and stay out later. He had to out work his competition.

It only took Daniel a few years to become a Regional Vice President (RVP) and open his own location. By the age of 24 he was making $100,000.00 a year in passive income.

Less than a year after he went RVP, Daniel married Karma, his high school sweetheart. The two had together built a business and now wanted to build a life. They bought a 1,200 sq ft condo and continued to focus on growing their business. Daniel went in the field, recruiting and training, while Karma took care of the administration in the office. Karma also helped with thank you notes, pending business, building relationships and keeping our agents accountable. What a partnership! They believed that with a Big Dream, anything was possible.
