All that to say, the channel's namesake is now a celebrity who is not known for his dramas or his onscreen skills but for his positive messages. How did he get to this point? How did we get here?
From Weed Entrepreneur to YouTube Superstar
It was a long road to online stardom for Mr. Mann. He said that his parents immigrated from India with $7 each. Mann grew up in a Bay Area apartment with three families, sharing a single bedroom.
They worked hard to start the taxi business they started with their parents. He said that they didn't have the time to spend with him and instead gave him money to help me do things. He realized that money was the only way to love and have a fulfilling life.
At 19 he started his first business, which was a brokerage for real estate, and spent the following ten years forming several companies that eventually went bankrupt.
He was 25 years old when he was featured on Mother Jones' cover story about WeGrow, the medical marijuana company he founded. He rented an Oakland warehouse and began selling hydroponic cannabis equipment with Derek Peterson.
