I’m Ian Christianson, a 17-year-old entrepreneur who’s not waiting around for life to happen. I’m on a mission to build my dream lifestyle, and the best way I know how is by learning directly from the people who’ve done it—those who’ve built empires, conquered setbacks, and turned their vision into reality.
This podcast isn’t about sugarcoating success. It’s about real conversations with people who’ve faced the same struggles we all do and found a way through. It’s about taking their lessons and applying them, step by step, to our own journeys.
If you’re someone who’s ready to take control, escape the average, and start creating a life on your terms, this podcast is for you. I’m not here to inspire you; I’m here to share the playbook so we can all level up together, and build a life worth living.
