RAK’D Audio • Owner, Ryan Kanallakan
"If it's not a hell yes, it's a no."

Ryan is a workhorse operating a small business that has now shipped products to all 50 states and 16 countries, all while still having a full-time job! He currently has 8 employees to help him be as efficient as possible. Speaking of his team, his mom was his first full-time employee.

He started this business in 2017 and in 2022 is when it really took off. This is when his TikTok videos one after another started going viral.

This is Ryan's third year speaking to our students. Of our entrepreneurial guest speakers throughout the year, Ryan is the youngest by about a decade. Each year students are inspired that their small business could maybe take off one day too.
Ryan does a great job of going through every detail of how to start with an idea and keep growing and improving.

When you see the quality of these speakers, it comes to no surprise that his website has 212 reviews and 4.92 stars! Students were equally impressed that he created his own website.

CEO student feedback:
• "I was definitely influenced to buy one of his speakers."
• "Ryan was quite impressive. He knew his business inside and out."
• "This was my favorite guest speaker we have had so far!"

Ryan, thank you for speaking with us!
