TikTok star Josh Richards turns entrepreneur with multiple ventures
Josh Richards is reportedly not only a digital creator but also a businessman
19- year old TikTok sensation Josh Richards, who has amassed 25.6 million followers on the video-sharing app, has been doing many jobs apart from digitally creating.
According to reports, Josh partnered with Michael Gruen to found a production company named CrossCheck Studios. He also collaborated with Mark Wahlberg’s Unrealistic Ideas to form a Gen Z marketing agency called HawkeZ.
It was announced that Josh will executive produce and star in CrossCheck’s first film as part of their recently announced deal with STXfilms.
If that wasn't enough, Josh is also the co-founder of caffeinated drink company Ani Energy and also launched a podcast.
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter about his ventures, Josh said, “I think the biggest thing about Gen Z is that we’re not scared to ask, and we’re not scared to do."
"I think that a lot of kids out there today are taking their dreams into their own hands, instead of relying on other people to do it for them, or to kind of hand them a golden platter."
He further added: "With old Hollywood, it’s a lot of people talking to the middleman and going through all this work until nothing ever comes to be because they tossed it around so long. With Gen Z, they just want to get it done."
