Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann

How I Built This · 29 Apr 2024 · 1h 24m

What this episode covers

Dhar Mann, founder of Dhar Mann Studios, recounts his journey from a series of business failures—including a mortgage company, a medical marijuana supply store, and a Ponzi scheme investment—to building a massive digital media empire. He explains how he pivoted from a cosmetics brand to creating bite-sized morality tale videos, initially struggling on Facebook before finding massive success by adapting his format for YouTube. Mann details the scaling of his operation from a living room to a 40,000-square-foot Burbank studio, the financial realities of ad revenue, and his decision to remain independent rather than sell to a private equity firm.
