Hey,

FounderShark is back!

Welcome to our new post.

🪄 Farm Boy to a Filmmaker: Future Media Empire Owner

Meet Dan, a YouTuber, media business owner, and founder of KlabundeCoffee. He is a 20-year-old entrepreneur with an absurd amount of love for coffee and filmmaking. Even though his age is smaller than that of his competitors, he is able to outperform them with his discipline and hard work.

Here’s some advice from his journey.:

Old Macdonald’s Farm

Dan grew up on a farm in rural Indiana with his family, and that’s where his love for entrepreneurship ignited. He has wanted to start an automated engineering company since he was 3 years old. Yes,  you read that right. He would spend hours on the couch drawing blueprints in his Blue's Clues notebook.

The Traditional Path (maybe not)

He went to college for a year, majoring in electrical engineering and finance, before realizing he wasn’t passionate about becoming an engineer. He decided to drop out of school and join the Marine Corps.

Once a Marine, Always a Marine...

Dan learned a lot of important lessons that he will need in his entrepreneurial journey from his marine days, but everything has got to come to an end. He was medically discharged from the Marines, forcing him to start over, but there was something that hadn’t left his side since the day he was born. His unstoppable desire to achieve his goals and make his visions come true. And that’s when he started his entrepreneurship journey.

Youtube Journey

Dan’s first business was his YouTube channel, which he still actively runs to this day. In the last couple of years, he has successfully managed to turn this channel into a media company that does general creative delivery as well as managing YouTube channels and UGC clients.

Lord of the Beans (coffee)

Alongside his side hustles, Dan has been a barista since he was in high school, which led him to fall in love with the profound nuances and science of coffee. After all those years, he decided to take a step into the unknown and start his own coffee company, Klabunde Coffee, in addition to his media company, Klabunde Media. The coffee company is fairly new, but Dan is one of the best in his trade, and that’s why the company has the potential to skyrocket its sales into millions of dollars per year.

Until next time,
