From Broke at 13 to $100M+: Josh Snow on Discipline, Luck, and Building a Legacy

Entrepreneurship isn’t about shortcuts — it’s about staying disciplined long enough to create your own luck.

In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford sits down with Josh Snow, founder and CEO of Snow, for a raw and wide-ranging conversation on adversity, discipline, and what it really takes to build a lasting business.

Josh shares how starting his first business at 13 out of financial necessity shaped his mindset, why he bootstrapped Snow into a global brand with over $100M in sales without pulling money out early, and how discipline early in life leads to freedom later. The conversation also explores reinvention, legacy, and why most people quit right before things start working.

This episode is for builders who are playing the long game.
