Being an entrepreneur is undoubtedly an enticing career. Some successful entrepreneurs, like Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma, and Bill Gates, live lives that many can only dream of. Their success and lifestyle serve as an inspiration to millions of young entrepreneurs across the world working to bring their dreams to life. Following in the same path to inspire and mentor young entrepreneurs is serial entrepreneur and investor Brian McFadden.

McFadden is a successful entrepreneur who believes that there is always a deal to be made. He has overcome many hurdles to achieve success as a self-made success story. McFadden has vast experience in the business world, serving as a shareholder of numerous brands and companies. He brings with him diversified expertise from different industries such as TV sales, product development, and manufacturing, among many others.

McFadden is the founder of Rail Nine Media LLC, IRocNights, and Rail Nine Media, top brands in various sectors. He is also the president, chief executive officer and director of Cryptyde Inc. and a board member of Islet Sciences Inc.

“I’m all about ‘breaking the toy’ when I come across a new project or venture,” says McFadden. ”I believe in finding the weak points within a company and seeing how we could make it better. Hence my mantra and username on Twitter.

Finding success as an entrepreneur can be one of the toughest journeys for anyone. McFadden has faced numerous hurdles, but his most significant challenge as a serial entrepreneur was trying to revive some of his businesses from the verge of bankruptcy. Some companies were almost falling apart just when everything seemed to take course. Though it was a tough period with mixed experiences, McFadden considers it a learning phase and appreciates the importance of hard work, optimism, and resilience.

“I’m extremely optimistic about everything I do and am involved in, so when a deal or company fails, I believe it was for a reason,” explains McFadden. “I tend not to question it and move on to the next venture because there’s always an opportunity around the corner.”

With vast experience in multiple industries, McFadden now believes in the power of diversification of investment. Though it’s recommended you don’t put all your eggs in one basket, McFadden believes in the power of specialization. He advises others to venture into what they believe in, focus and master one thing and keep building from there. The best thing to do is learn from your mistakes and redo them better while formulating structures within acquisitions. This was part of his strategy for the longest time until he discovered his strengths.

Success is a journey, and McFadden is already laying structures for more greatness in the coming years. The passionate entrepreneur wants to grow and expand his investments to become a leader in every sector he ventures into. His focus is primarily on growing his youngest venture, Cryptyde Inc., to new heights within the industry.

“It’s my main focus at the moment, and adding value to our company/shareholders is my biggest priority and goal over the next few years,” McFadden sums up.
