How did a YouTube prank channel turn into a multi-million dollar business empire? Gary Brecka sits down for an in-depth conversation with entrepreneur Kyle Forgeard, the man behind Nelk, Full Send, and Happy Dad to talk about about navigating YouTube demonetizing his channels, turning fan engagement into lucrative merch drops, and partnering with John and Sam Shahidi to launch the future billion dollar seltzer brand, Happy Dad. Kyle found himself at his lowest point last Summer and knew he needed to make a change. After years of drinking and partying, he committed to turning his health around and has naturally seen improvements in his testosterone, liver function, and has completely changed the way he approaches life and business.
