Ryan Blair: From Gang Member to Multimillionaire

Podcast - The Daily Edge

What does it take to go from the lowest and most forgotten dregs of society to the top of the world? Ryan Blair went from a gang member and a high school dropout to the CEO of a company worth $600 million at its peak. Hear his incredible life story in my interview with him.

His autobiography, “Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain: How I Went from Gang Member to Multimillionaire Entrepreneur” was ranked 3rd in The New York Times Best Seller list for August 2011 and was a number one New York Times Hardcover Business Book bestseller in September 2011. Ryan Blair was named by Ernst & Young as Entrepreneur of the Year in 2012. He took lifestyle and weight loss company ViSalus (Now known as Vi) from $60 million in debt to $150 in revenue. At its peak, ViSalus was valued at $600 million.

But all that money is meaningless if you waste it on self-destruction. Find out how Ryan learned to appreciate what he had in life and take care of himself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. All that and more, in this video episode of the Daily Edge.
