Take #73 - Ronnen Harary: Spin Master Co-Founder on Inexperience as a Superpower | No Experience Necessary, PAW Patrol & the Art of Becoming

Spin Master co-founder Ronnen Harary built a global entertainment empire, PAW Patrol, Bakugan, Air Hogs, and hundreds of toys that shaped childhoods worldwide, with, in his words, no experience necessary. In this episode of That Digital Take, host Torri Webster sits down with Ronnen to talk about his first book, No Experience Necessary, and the philosophy underneath the billion-dollar business. This is less a conversation about toys and more about becoming: why inexperience can be a competitive advantage, why curiosity, wonder, and optimism are underrated superpowers, and why success is often more of an identity shift than a business strategy. Ronnen and Torri go deep on risk and patience (why time (not money) is the real cost of starting), passion and conviction as forces that de-lever uncertainty, building businesses with friends while protecting the friendship, and his concept of "Uber Luck" and why "doubt is anti-luck." They also explore staying curious after billionaire status, avoiding stagnation, knowing when to let an old version of yourself go, and what it means to be an entrepreneur in the age of AI, social media, and constant comparison. Whether you're a founder, creator, artist, or anyone trying to build a more meaningful life, this one will leave you underlining. Plus a rapid-fire round: the belief Ronnen has completely abandoned since 25, the one risk people should take sooner, and how he finishes the sentence "Experience matters, but ___."
