He wasn't the biggest kid on the ice. Nor was he the strongest. But he worked the hardest. 

Practicing 500 backhanded flick shots a day, every day, turned him into a powerhouse on the hockey rink. 

He carried that same disciplined approach into social media. At age 14, he jumped from 0 followers to 100,000 in a single summer.

Josh Richards, Co-founder of TalentX Entertainment and Chief Strategy Officer at Triller, takes us on a journey from dancing on his sister's video to amassing 24 million followers on TikTok.

In this episode, Josh and Erik chat about... 

- How social media became Josh's profession

- Thoughts on dropping out of high school

- The value of a great manager

- Why passion alone isn't enough to make it big (and what is)
