Young American Aidan Ranzieri is what is known in business circles as a “serial entrepreneur”. Born in 2005, he is a teenager who has already founded several successful companies, including fitness brand Achedaway and digital marketing agency Next Level Growth Agency. As a savvy digital marketer, he has of course built his own sizeable online audience, which includes over half a million TikTok fans, 311,000 Instagram followers, and 31,000 YouTube subscribers. He has been cited as an entrepreneur to watch by such august publications and outlets as Yahoo, Disrupt, Time Bulletin, and Influencive.

Ranzieri was born and raised in Naperville, Illinois by his parents, both of whom are successful business people in their own right. Although Ranzieri initially showed athletic prowess and promise, by the time he was 14, he was already dropping out of the various teams he played for to focus on his nascent business empire, part of which included Achedaway, a fitness brand that sells various wellness products. He reinvested the profits from this into his ideas for digital marketing. He set up a TikTok account and showed his Midas touch, building a huge audience within a fortnight and making not one but two viral videos seemingly out of nowhere.

Today, Ranzieri’s social media accounts are the epitome of the young high achiever, showing Ranzieri both working hard and taking the time to enjoy the benefits of his hard graft. For someone who has yet to graduate from high school, let alone go to college or work full-time, this is hugely impressive stuff and marks him out as one of the major business brains to watch as the 2020s unfold.
