Ganzak attended the University of North Florida. [1] In from 2003-2008, he was running traditional advertising campaigns with great success. Ganzak had moved $1 million in product through an organization he built with his company and was bringing in $20,000 a month in sales. Yet when the Great Recession hit in 2007-2008, Ganzak admits that he failed to build on his success and evolve his company in the growing digital landscape. He ended up going completely broke and sold all of his belongings to move to New York City with only a few hundred dollars in his pocket.

Ganzak moved back to Florida and has since started successful businesses, authored a best-selling book on Amazon, and launched several software platforms. [1]
