Right About Now with Ryan Alford

What’s up, everyone!

I grew up collecting cards, and now, as a dad of four boys, I'm right back in it—but this time it's not just about the value of what's inside the pack. It's about the lessons that come with it.

GaryVee

When I talked to Gary Vaynerchuk, it reminded me why I do this: to connect, to teach, and to build something meaningful with my kids. Gary isn't just talking trading cards; he's talking legacy, and he's using VeeFriends to do it.
