Michael Gruen

Michael Gruen has been an entrepreneur since an early age. When he was 12 he started a successful drop shipping business, selling everything from socks to pet toys. He then founded a company called Creator's Edge Media, one of the earliest influencer marketing agencies. Around that time, Gruen opened up a sports management company with an NBPA and FIBA agent. Gruen was also an early investor in Bitcoin and co-founded a company called FRAX, a cryptocurrency product that billed itself as “the world’s decentralized central bank." He is probably best known for co-founding Talent X Entertainment, the agency that reps some of the biggest names in social media. But don't worry, we talked about Nessa, Dave Portnoy, beefs, the future of Sway and more. There's some tea in there too:)
