No Experience Necessary: Why Your 20s are for Taking Risks
6/16/202653 min
In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I’m joined by Ronen Harary, co-founder of Spin Master and the creator of global hits like Paw Patrol and Bakugan. We dive deep into his new book and why I believe the decade between 20 and 30 is the most important time to bet on yourself and follow your internal knowing. We also discuss the "Power of Not Knowing," how to handle massive business failures, and why staying in motion is the only way to create real luck.
Ronnen's book No Experience Necessary is available for pre-order. Order your copy today at Amazon, Barnes and Noble or wherever books are sold!
You’ll learn about:
- The "Inverse Risk" of not following your passion.
- How Spin Master survived two years of losses to create Paw Patrol.
- Why "fresh eyes" are more dangerous than experience.
- The strategy of profit sharing to scale human capital.
- How to facilitate difficult "unsaid" conversations within families.

And so before anything else, like immediately, I need you to go to Amazon or your book choice, uh, and put No Experience Necessary, uh, into the search or use a AI bot or however you do it these days. Um, it- I'm just gonna make this very clear, I know I do this once or twice every two years. If I've brought you any value ever in the history of my career, you picking up this small token in support of a gentleman who I think really... Let me t- I'll give you right to the punchline of why I'm saying what I'm saying. I know a million authors. I am one. Not, not only not everyone, almost no one actually pours their heart into the project. For a lot of people, it's a piece of the pie. When it's in the context of business, there's a lot of authors I think actually who do pour their, uh, heart into something and have something meaningful to say. Um, but
