Two decades ago, Ryan Blair was the product of a broken family.
At the age of 13, he was already heavily "involved in stuff" after his father succumbed to drug addiction, he tells us.
Without anyone to turn to for his Attention Deficit Disorder and dyslexia, Blair dropped out of school in the 9th grade and quickly turned to the close-knit "familia" gang life.
In his book "Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain," Blair writes:
"I quickly saw how the system worked, how the street lords kept themselves in power through influence and manipulation. I observed how the older people used bribery and fear to get the younger kids to do their crimes, and I saw how the young people willingly went along with it because it seemed like the only power structure that had any kind of respect in the neighborhood."
His story was meant for a tragic end, but Blair is no longer even a shadow of his former self — except for the tattoos you see when he wears short-sleeved shirts.
At 21, Blair started his first company and today, is a serial entrepreneur who also happens to be a multimillionaire.
