For some, cosmetic surgery has become as common as a dental visit, with people globally flocking for treatments to enhance their appearances. Dr. Maksym Ivanchuk has emerged as a renowned name in this field. Dr. Ivanchuk’s personal philosophy is based on “reversing the clock,” and his body-altering procedures have won him worldwide recognition.  

Dr. Ivanchuk’s career is studded with a series of noteworthy accomplishments. However, his greatest achievement is his self-administered cosmetic procedure, which has had more recognition than any other procedure in this industry. This audacious act not only turned heads among his peers, but also defined new boundaries within the field. Dr. Ivanchuk’s procedure demonstrates his skills and commitment to expanding limits in the area of cosmetic surgery.  

Dr. Ivanchuk is originally from Ukraine. His expertise and commitment to excellence are evident in more than 5,000 successful surgeries performed by him. The Maksym Ivanchuk Plastic Surgery Clinic, which he founded, is a haven for those searching for cosmetic enhancements. But Dr. Ivanchuk’s impact is not limited to Ukraine—since 2022, he has been practicing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), earning much recognition in the Middle East. Now, he is planning to launch the most advanced plastic surgery clinic in the region by 2026.  

Dr. Ivanchuk’s reputation attracts patients from all corners of the globe, including heads of state and Hollywood stars. Patients seek him for his surgical abilities and the unique procedures her offers. His dedication to his job and keen eye for detail have secured his position among the top surgeons in this field.  

In July of 2024, Dr. Ivanchuk took the world by surprise by performing a complex facial rejuvenation procedure on himself. This was not just any procedure, but a masterful execution of techniques he had meticulously developed over the years. His operation included the delicate outlining of the lower zygomatic region to enhance facial contours and chin modeling to achieve perfect facial balance.  

The highlight of the procedure was the use of J Plasma FACE technology, an advanced technique utilizing helium plasma to tighten and rejuvenate the lower face and neck with no visible scars. This technique reflects Dr. Ivanchuk’s experimental spirit, setting a new benchmark in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.  

Conducted in secrecy over two days, it was a carefully orchestrated event where Dr. Ivanchuk administered his own local anesthesia and performed the intricate dissection and lifting of facial muscles and tissues. Supported by a dedicated team, the procedure was documented on video, offering a glimpse into this unique achievement.  

Remarkably, Dr. Ivanchuk’s post-operative experience was as smooth as his surgical execution. Immediately after the surgery, he celebrated with coffee and a late-night dinner, gaining invaluable insight into the patient experience he strives to perfect.  

Dr. Maksym Ivanchuk’s self-performed procedure is more than just a personal triumph in his career. It’s a milestone in the cosmetic surgery industry. It challenges conventional boundaries and exemplifies the impact of his work, inspiring both his peers and patients worldwide.

What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur? Fresh ideas? Adaptability? Determination? A talent for networking? In today’s competitive landscape, it takes each of those things and then some. And even then, it can feel like your goals remain just out of reach. The five entrepreneurs on this list are proof that success is possible—but it takes unwavering focus, creativity, clear planning, and an unending ability to learn from victories and defeats alike. Their ventures might help you find new hope for the future, too. They’re creating weighted stuffed animals for autistic children, helping readers reach elevated consciousness, and guiding small business owners to success through scaling. 

The business world is changing faster than ever, and that kind of speedy evolution can lead to instability. These entrepreneurs also illustrate the power of diversification in a volatile business climate.  While some prefer to focus on a single company, many balance multiple business ventures across several fields. That approach might not be right for every businessperson, but for many of these entrepreneurs, it’s given them the foundational experience needed to grow. 

Today’s business landscape can feel discouraging and inhospitable, and no one understands that better than entrepreneurs who have had to work their way up from the bottom to get to where they are today.  If you’re running a little low on entrepreneurial inspiration or just want to read something that makes you feel a bit better about the state of the world, take a look at these five success stories.

Diamond Sheik 

Entrepreneur Diamond Sheik is not only following in his successful father’s footsteps, he’s going the extra mile beyond. When he took over his father’s jewelry store at age 24 in 2011, Sheik realized that the future did not lie solely in brick-and-mortar stores but in a social media-facing business. With that innovation, he’s reaching new generations of clients. 

Unconventional partnerships are also attracting intriguing and loyal fan bases to his business. Sheik is talking with international soccer stars about publicity, and he has already incorporated professional wrestlers and Nightmare Factory, his wrestling school, into his jewelry business. Luxe Jeweler, a respected name in both local and international markets, emphasizes craftsmanship and customer relationships. Under Sheik’s leadership, this jewelry company expanded from its previous manufacturing and wholesaling side to the unique and custom-design jewelry business it is today. 

What sets Sheik’s business apart from others, besides its emphasis on social media, is how he keeps track of his clients’ preferences. “Whenever I’m working on something new, I already know which client will like it. And they’ll get first dibs because I know it’s something that they would love and wear.” 

Sheik’s advice to beginning entrepreneurs is to watch for the possibility of picking up a win out of failure. “Be open to opportunities. You never know. Sometimes, it might seem like you’re not going to win in a situation. But those opportunities may build relationships that help you win down the road. Keep an open mind and open heart.” 

Armando Colimodio  

Engineers are often depicted as lacking imagination, seen as only interested in the tools of their fields. Armando Colimodio, however, laughs at that stereotype. A mechanical engineer and native Venezuelan, Colimodio overflows with intriguing and sometimes whimsical ideas. Colimodio came to the United States for higher education, earning his degree from SUNY Buffalo State University in 2005. After a decade working in manufacturing, he returned to academia, earning a master’s in business administration from Wake Forest University in 2013. 

Armando became a successful entrepreneur when he founded Colsen Firepits, entering the market at the early stage of the backyard firepit boom. Colimodio ran Colsen from his mother’s garage before selling it for a substantial profit in 2023. 

Colimodio is now cultivating three new companies: Black Forest Supplements, Apapachos Store, and Enjoint LLC. Black Forest Supplements provides a natural extract product for men to reclaim their masculine potential. In its first year, the company’s revenue was $500,000, expanding to $5 million in the second year. Now in its third year, the company is on track to double that, and Armando is fielding offers to buy him out. 

In Apapachos, Armando creates and sells cute, weighted stuffed animals designed for neurodivergent children—and possibly adults, too. “Apapachos” translates as “cuddles,” but as the description for the plushies says, “In a broad sense, ‘apapachos’ refers to acts of love, affection, or comfort.” 

His newest business, Enjoint LLC, is still primarily on the drawing board. Colimodio has applied for patents and will seek funding for manufacturing. These fun and quirky products will likely launch in Q2 2025. 

Jason Appleton  

Game designer and cryptocurrency expert Jason Appleton faced many failures early in his life. Now, he creates games and platforms that utilize cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence technology. Known as Crypto Crow on his YouTube channel, he educates the public about blockchain technology. Appleton doesn’t consider his early entrepreneurial ventures or employee jobs as wasted time. 

“The best advice I can give someone starting out is failure is not an option; it’s a necessity. Everything we attempt in life will only teach us steps to take in our next adventure, so we can get further until we finally make it.” 

Once, between jobs, Jason read a manual to learn HTML code over a weekend, then built a successful website-creation company, which he easily sold. He was 21 years old. 

“The most important mindset in business is ‘I’m doing this, now I’ll learn how.’ In other words, anything I’ve ever done, I’ve learned as I went along. My only hard rule was to never sell my soul, take dishonest turns, or cut corners.” 

Appleton hopes to retire in six years to launch a foundation for charity work. “I need more in my life than just making money and taking care of friends. Sitting on the other side of a camera with an audience benefitting from it is great, but I want to live out my days with a more direct hand in changing people’s lives as the final cap on my legacy.” 

Jason Appleton’s latest venture is a crypto-related digital trading card game called Wargrum that utilizes NFTs for ownership. 

Jason Wojo 

Jason Wojo, at just 27 years old, has established himself as a significant figure in the advertising industry with a net worth of $4 million. His firm specializes in scaling businesses through strategic ad management, funnel creation, and performance tracking.  

Jason’s company has successfully scaled over 1,320 businesses to six figures and 58 businesses to seven or eight figures. His firm’s success is built on four key pillars: developing irresistible offers, crafting high-converting sales and landing pages, creating omnipresent ad campaigns, and tracking key performance indicators to drive profitable behaviors. 

With over $148 million generated online through paid ads, Jason’s firm demonstrates a proven ability to deliver measurable results. The firm has managed $34 million in ad spend, generating $148 million in revenue with a lifetime return on ad spend (ROAS) of 4X—which means clients typically see a return of four dollars for every dollar spent on ads. 

Jason’s firm is distinguished by its client-focused approach, which involves identifying and addressing pain points to enhance service delivery. The emphasis on team culture, underpinned by the core value of “Team First,” has enabled the firm to effectively service over 300 clients with a dedicated team of 56. With $18 million in cash collected and a client retention rate exceeding 80 percent, Jason Wojo’s firm continues to set new standards in the advertising industry.

The watch’s striking-yet-versatile design—at just 11.8mm thin—is suited for any occasion, effortlessly transitioning from casual outings to formal settings.

The GM2110D’s dial is crafted from brass and treated with both metal plating and color coatings. This painstaking process imparts a glossy, reflective finish that enhances the watch’s overall allure. Available in a veritable rainbow of vibrant shades, including orange, lime green, silver, sky blue, and navy, the dial offers a multitude of hues to choose from, while the recessed dial ring’s metallic finish adds depth and dimension.

As a shimmering alternative to mined gems, lab-grown diamonds are every bit as heirloom-worthy. These sustainably sourced stones are just as brilliant as mined diamonds and can be passed down through the generations. Lab-grown diamonds turn any piece into a treasure, whether you’re attracted to their sustainable qualities or affordability.  

For those who appreciate specially made jewelry, Manat Kaur’s Ring Premier offers an investment in a one-of-a-kind creation that reflects your style and values. Having grown into a leading industry figure in the world of lab-grown diamonds, Kaur knows how important it is to educate jewelry lovers on the aesthetic and ethical advantages of these beautiful stones. Through her bespoke jewelry brand, Ring Premier, Kaur has revolutionized how women lay their hands on fine jewelry with a personal experience guided by client vision and values. Based in New York, Kaur’s jewelry brand boasts exclusive, customized pieces with lab-grown diamonds for discerning clients across the globe.  

Ring Premier represents unmatched personalized service in making jewelry, with ethical sourcing and sustainability at the backbone of all its activities. As an answer to the recent demand for socially ethical practices, Kaur is an advocate for lab-grown diamonds, which is an eco-friendly and ethical alternative to the traditional mined diamond. The approach has not only helped Ring Premier make a mark in exclusive jewelry but also reflects conscious customer behavior and environmental stewardship.

Craftsmanship and individuality have always been central to Kaur’s vision. Her journey into the jewelry world was driven by an inner pull to create a new approach to the tradition of acquiring fine jewelry, especially engagement rings. She realized how impersonal and intimidating the process is for many couples. Over time, Kaur saw an opportunity to design jewelry in a more personal and exclusive fashion, keeping the vision and taste of her client as the top priority. This approach has transformed the typically stressful struggle of picking a lab-grown diamond ring into a celebration of personal style and relationship.  

Every lab-grown diamond is fashioned with details that mirror the unique stories and sentiments of the wearer. From intricately designed pieces to ethically sourced lab-grown diamonds, every design represents a labor of love that evokes emotions and says something about the personality of its wearer.  

This design focus aligns with conscious consumption and environmental awareness movement, echoing most with customers who treasure beauty and responsibility. Each Ring Premier lab-grown diamond jewelry piece is meticulously crafted in a way that tells the wearer’s unique story.

Kaur and Ring Premier pay meticulous attention to detail to each bespoke piece, from the very first consultation to the final unveiling. As Kaur looks forward to Ring Premier’s next big success, this hope of empowering women with beautiful jewelry through personalized service and ethical practices sets it apart. She will remain focused on craftsmanship, inclusivity, and sustainability while offering innovative and creative lab-grown diamonds that can be treasured for generations.

Food influencer Joshua Weissman recently embarked on a meaty mission to find America’s best hamburger. Boasting 9.5 million followers on YouTube, a New York Times best-selling cookbook, and a flair for serving up home-cooked American fare, he’s equally unapologetic and entertaining.  As his hundreds of millions of viewers can attest, Weissman doesn’t deliver scripted food reviews from a chef’s table while sampling perfectly curated dishes in the company of restaurant owners. 

When he’s not making mouthwatering bites, testing viral recipes, or dishing out top tips for home cooks, he’s a road warrior. The unassuming culinary influencer travels to beloved restaurants and dines like any other customer, offering immediate and entertaining feedback while providing insight into the authentic restaurant experience that a typical patron can expect to receive. On one of his most recent missions, Weissman embedded himself in a quintessentially American love story as he searched far and wide for the country’s best hamburger.   

Weissman was joined by Christian Alquiza, Culinary Producer of First We Feast’s YouTube series The Burger Show, on a whirlwind national tour that saw the pair visit the California coast, Texas plains, and the bright lights of New York. Along the way, Weissman and Alquiza reviewed orders from 18 of America’s largest and most storied burger chains, filming their honest reactions for 4.2 million viewers and counting.  

The Results

The fight for the top three spots was a battle of geographic titans. The Big Apple’s Shake Shack came in third place, while California’s In-N-Out Burger notched second. Steak ‘n Shake, the Midwestern burger chain founded in 1934 and credited with creating the Steakburger, took top honors and the title of “Best Burger in America.”

Weissman’s initial reaction to tasting Steak ‘n Shake’s Original Double Steakburger with Cheese was so emphatically positive, it had to be edited out. “That’s ****ed. It has a good Maillard [reaction]…that’s how it should be,” he said. “It’s beefy—you immediately taste the beef—followed by the gooey cheese. You get a solid crunch from the pickles. It’s acidic, but not too acidic. The best part of the burger is easily the meat—a burger should be tender and melt in your mouth. It should be the filet mignon of American sandwiches.”

Alquiza also named Steak ‘n Shake’s Steakburger as the clear winner, saying, “This is real food. This is going to be a core memory…[Now] I’ve gotta go find all their locations.”  

Weissman summed up the Steak ‘n Shake experience, concluding, “I give this burger a minimum of 8.0 and I might even say higher”—it was ultimately rated an 8.1. “This is the one burger that broke it all up…they made a burger that should be a burger. That means that Steak ‘n Shake wins!”

In recent years, there’s been a heartening rise in mental health awareness and holistic practices centered on an all-faceted mind-body-soul approach to wellness. While the increasing enlightenment inspires an optimistic outlook for the future, we’re far from reaching the finish line.  

According to a study by the Mental Health Foundation, two-thirds of British adults have dealt with mental health issues including anxiety or depression. The recent surge in mental health problems calls for effective solutions. Answering the desperate calls, All Points North emerged as a leader in innovation, transforming the wellness and recovery sector while upholding the value of mind and body wellness.

This U.S.-based organization has five well-established locations, from nation-wide outpatient services to a luxury residential treatment center in Colorado. It has since established itself along London’s famed Harley Street, providing a holistic approach rooted in Lifestyle Psychiatry for mental health, addiction, and wellness. 

The days of delaying seeking assistance before complete burnout are long gone. As an advocate of proactive investment in mental health, All Points North acknowledges the interdependence between mental health and personal and professional satisfaction. The company’s approach centers on the Dimensions of Wellness that includes a curated plan for each person’s needs.  

According to Dr. Philip Hemphill, Chief Clinical Officer of All Points North, the company is keen on addressing the stress and burnout prevalent in professional environments. Treatment incorporates holistic elements, like yoga, nutritional, and personal training, in addition to evidence-based therapy and psychiatry. All Points North aims to make mental wellness accessible and appealing to a broader audience in aesthetically pleasing therapy environments optimized for recovery.

Additionally, they recognize the value of advanced treatments like deep TMS, which targets brain plasticity and is associated with improvements in cognitive function. This approach caters not only to individuals seeking additional support, but also those already engaged in self-improvement efforts, offering them a pathway to optimize their mental well-being. All Points North’s bespoke treatment programs in the US include designated pathways for the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, and professional athletes. 

Hemphill further discusses the concerns about the mental health of men who may be more reluctant to seek professional help. The high stress and burnout that men experience can pile up, often resulting in substance use, depression, anxiety, or panic attacks. Hemphill explained that All Points North can help these individuals prevent any further deterioration of their mental health and overall wellness through a range of specific programs, including individual therapy, lifestyle psychiatry, targeted day programs for addiction, mental health, and wellness, with added specificity in relationship therapy and medication-assisted healing, such as Spravato, for acute symptoms.  

Hemphill further emphasizes All Points North’s commitment to providing comprehensive clinical care within a welcoming environment across the US and in the UK. The focus is on offering a range of choices and multiple support levels designed to engage individuals during various stages of treatment and recovery.

Additionally, this mind-body health company challenges the conventional approach to mental health and addiction recovery, advocating for long-term skill development rather than short-term fixes. The company recognizes the complexity of each individual’s circumstances and tailors their approach accordingly, prioritizing a personalized and comprehensive treatment plan designed to address the root causes of dysfunction. This integrative approach encompasses various aspects of well-being, including nutrition and fitness, ensuring an evidence-based solution that addresses the client’s specific needs and goals. 

All Points North’s objective is to improve lives and inspire wellness with modern mental, physical, and spiritual care. They see a future where mental health is deeply integrated into well-being, equal in priority to physical health. Their vision goes beyond the confines of conventional mental health therapy. All Points North emphasizes the relationship between mental health and the overall wellness of the human body.

“We want people to think about the body and the mind at the same time. Our vision is for mental health practices to become universal in the future, and to deliver this comprehensive continuum of care which becomes the industry standard. We know that everyone has different needs throughout their lives, and we aim to cater to them all,” Hemphill explained. 

Whether it be through residential treatment, virtual treatment, or access to complementary modalities, All Points North is dedicated to creating a comprehensive care model that meets the different needs of people at every stage of life. The innovative company looks forward to a time when people can seek mental health services without fear of stigma or dismissal, empowering people to reach out more, rather than feeling the need to sweep their struggles under the rug.

Modern tattoos are detailed, meaningful, and often hold significant personal or cultural significance. They let people tell stories, mark important life events, or show off their identity through permanent body art. As they’ve evolved, tattoos being recognized as a genuine and sophisticated art form. 

Tattoo artistry requires precision, creativity, and a true understanding of design principles. The ability to transform human skin into a canvas for vibrant artwork is a skill that tattoo artists develop over years of practice. Each tattoo tells a story, which often reflects the personal journey of the person and the vision of the artist.  

The increasing popularity of custom designs highlights a growing desire for tattoos that are both visually stunning and carry significant personal meaning. This reinforces the importance of the relationship between the client and the artist, where working together and good communication are essential to creating a piece that really resonates with the wearer. 

The tattoo industry is always evolving, with trends that often coincide with what is popular in society. Minimalist designs with clean lines and subtle shading are becoming more in demand, especially among those who favor simplicity and elegance. Meanwhile, detailed large-scale pieces still attract fans who want bold and intricate artwork.  

The demand for fine-line tattoos—a format that allows an artist’s skills to truly shine—has also surged. The delicate designs require a lot of precision and leave no room for mistakes. As society becomes more accepting of tattoos, the variety in styles and designs keeps growing, offering something for everyone—from understated elegance to elaborate, statement-making art. 

Statistics from a 2023 Pew Research Center survey reveal that approximately 32 percent of American adults have at least one tattoo, with 22 percent of those having more than one. This growing acceptance is also evident in the increasing visibility of tattoos in professional settings, where they are often viewed as a reflection of individuality rather than a stigmatized sign of counterculture. This shift in perception shows a wider acceptance and normalization of body art in everyday life, as societal values evolve,

Mikhail Andersson‘s rise to prominence in the tattoo industry exemplifies the seamless blend of traditional art and modern tattooing. Dubbed the “Michelangelo of the Tattoo Renaissance,” Andersson’s unique journey, which encompasses classical art forms and tattoo artistry innovation, has cemented his reputation as a pioneer. His ability to translate intricate designs and compelling narratives onto human skin has helped him become a beloved tattoo artist. 

Andersson believes that public feelings about tattoo artistry became more positive due to shows like Miami Ink, which help showcase the story and artistic ability that goes into every tattoo. He also feels that Instagram is to thank for the current tattoo “Golden Age.”

“When I see someone with a tattoo,” says Andersson, “I see that they stayed for many hours of pain and investment. When I see someone with a body suit or back piece, I see the sacrifice and time, how much thought they put into it, and how much money they spent. It is almost a different person to me than someone who doesn’t have it. It’s a journey.” 

Andersson’s artistic evolution began with a foundation in traditional painting and sculpture, disciplines that honed his eye for detail and composition. Transitioning to tattooing, he brought with him a unique vision that bridges the gap between classic and contemporary art. His work, characterized by meticulous craftsmanship and evocative storytelling, transforms the human body into a living, breathing masterpiece. 

“The experience of a tattoo artist is how we see the world. Everyone sees the world differently,” says Andersson. “They would draw it differently if you put 100 people in a room. The way I see things and how my view evolves, I probably would see things differently 10 years ago. And 10 years from now, I will see things differently than today. You evolve in your mind, your art, and what you put out there. It is a reflection of how you are in the world.” 

In 2016, Andersson opened First Class Tattoo in New York City, which he successfully operated as the sole owner for eight years. First Class is a space for diverse and creative artists to grow together and help each other develop new skills and horizons in the tattoo industry. This collaborative environment has built a community where artists can thrive and continuously push the boundaries of their craft. 

Known for his distinctive style, Andersson’s tattoos often feature intricate line work, rich shading, and elements drawn from various art movements. His portfolio, showcased on platforms such as Instagram, offers a glimpse into his creative process and the depth of his artistic expression. Through his work, Andersson has expanded the possibilities of tattoo art, inspiring both peers and enthusiasts to view tattoos as a sophisticated, meaningful form of personal and artistic expression.

GENTV’s debut movie, Skill House, debuted to an eager audience of millions of streamers. The immediate success comes as no surprise when you consider power players behind the cinematic event: Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is the film’s leading man, and GENTV was founded by Ryan Kavanaugh, the ambitious entrepreneur who has produced/financed over 250 feature films and created game-changing Hollywood finance company Relativity Media.

Kavanaugh’s career has been marked by his innovative approach and his talent for turning challenges into opportunities. From the brokering Marvel Studios at inception in 2006 to designing the Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) model, Kavanaugh has consistently sought to push the boundaries of what is possible in the industry. His latest venture, GENTV, merges social media and cinema, taking full advantage of the growing influence of social media stars. 

By leveraging the vast followings of social media influencers, GENTV employs an innovative method to engage audiences and deliver content. This approach was vividly realized with the release of Skill House, a film that combines horror elements with social media culture. Starring 50 Cent and Bryce Hall and produced by 50 Cent, Kavanaugh and REALM Agency founder Shane Valdez, Skill House broke streaming records by garnering over 6 million views and an average watch time of over 9 minutes in just 48 hours. Originally conceived by Kavanaugh and penned by Saw franchise writer Josh Stolberg, Skill House follows 10 top influencers who are kidnapped and forced into a deadly social media competition orchestrated by the masked “Triller Killer.” Survival depends on public votes, and in this ultimate popularity contest, only one will emerge alive. Clout is life. 

The financial model underpinning GENTV is as revolutionary as its content. Episodes are sold at prices ranging from $0.99 to $1.99, and by leveraging social media stars for direct selling, GENTV can generate substantial revenue before a film’s release. This approach has already projected revenues in excess of $20 million from shorts pre-release, achieved with minimal marketing costs. This model not only guarantees high engagement but also maximizes profitability, setting a new standard for the entertainment industry.  

Importantly, the shorts provide distinct content from the movie, creating an additional layer of engagement. “We believe that since we will have all of the customer and user data from the shorts, we have a one-on-one connection with the end-ticket buyer. We will be able to drive the audience into theaters in a whole new manner,” said Kavanaugh. 

In a strategic move, Kavanaugh and Valdez merged GENTV with REALM Agency. This merger has enabled GENTV to leverage in-house capabilities to maintain creative control and streamline production, resulting in high-quality films that resonate with audiences—the next six will also be produced by Valdez. REALM boasts over 60 creative professionals, allowing for an unprecedented level of attention to detail in every aspect of filmmaking. “I am able to do what I have never been able to do before: have an entire team working through the editing process to find the best way to approach not just the editing of the movie but every scene of the movie. Every scene is its own movie now, from the editing, to the FX, to the color lighting and music, and it’s just been awesome. The best creative experience I’ve had,” said Kavanaugh. 

GENTV’s approach to distribution is equally innovative, combining short-form episodic films with traditional full-length features to cater to diverse viewing preferences. This flexible strategy ensures there is something for everyone, keeping audiences highly engaged. 

With Skill House set for a 3,000-screen release on Halloween weekend and an impressive A- audience rating, it seems Kavanaugh has another bona fide hit on his hands. As media consumption trends shift, GENTV’s model of influencer-driven content is perfectly positioned to capitalize on these changes. Audiences increasingly seek content that is both engaging and easily accessible, and GENTV delivers on both fronts.
