This week John welcomes Yash Daftary to the show for an impactful conversation about entrepreneurship, higher education, and the rewards of starting your own company. Yash is the CEO & Co-Founder of FanBasis, the first Content Creator Monetization Ecosystem & Social Equalizer, designed to eliminate the barriers separating content creators from their fans. Yash is a serial entrepreneur who started his first business when he was 16 and has been fascinated with entrepreneurship since he was young. Prior to FanBasis, Yash also worked in Venture Capital at Storm Ventures and MBX Capital. While working in the VC world, he gained valuable experience that led to the roadmap and strategic foundation of scalability & success.
FanBasis is changing the way content creators and fans interact by building a one of a kind marketplace where fans can purchase and experience bespoke digital interactions with their favorite content creators, celebrities, athletes, and influencers. With a roster of some of the worlds best known athletes, including Lamar Odom, Michael Vick, Dennis Rodman, Ric Flair, Pacman Jones, and Santana Moss and world renowned influencers and celebrities such as Gabby B, Mandy Sacs, and Derrick Fox, FanBasis is redefining how we experience and interact with our favorite celebrities and icons.
In this episode, after confessing to no longer being the “young cool guy in the room” John picks Yash’s younger mind about everything from changing perspectives on higher education to the truth about celebrity influencers. This is a great conversation for any young or aspiring entrepreneur to learn from someone who has built a business from the ground up, turning his ideas and passions into a positive cash flow business that is shaking up the world of sports and celebrity and providing unique experiences for fans and followers.
