Griffin Johnson & Josh Richards: TikTok Careers & Investing Interests | SALT Talks #145

“I remember trying to buy Bitcoin in 9th grade… and my parents didn’t let me.”

Josh Richards and Griffin Johnson are two of the biggest influencers on TikTok, a social media network where users share short-form videos, where they have a combined 34+ million followers. Their media and business ventures extend across multiple channels.

Business-minded from a young age, early media success born out of TikTok has opened doors across media and finance. Social media content houses, like the Sway House, are becoming popular and major content hubs for Gen Z. This is launching many careers of young people and showing new ways people can pursue professions outside traditional frameworks. “There are so many other routes than just going to college, 9-to-5 and mortgages… to achieve your dreams.”

Success on social media has opened doors to many other opportunities in business. This led to ventures in angel investing that involves networking and learning lessons from entrepreneurs, founders and executives.
