In this episode of The Unlimited Podcast, Brian speaks with Ronnen Harary, Co-Founder of Spin Master, the company behind legendary toys and franchises such as PAW Patrol, Bakugan, and Air Hogs. Brian and Ronnen discuss the origins of Spin Master, turning disabilities into gifts, and the inspiration behind Ronnen's new book, No Experience Necessary.
Ronnen Harary is Co-Founder and Chairman of Spin Master (TSX-listed: TOY). He is also the founder of the Toy Movement, a global initiative that has delivered toys to displaced and refugee children through missions in countries including Iraq, Jordan, and Ukraine. His philanthropic work through the Ronnen Harary Foundation supports homelessness initiatives, learning-disability scholarships, and green-space rejuvenation projects. Ronnen has over 30 years of experience building Spin Master from the ground up; co-founding the company in 1994 at age 23 alongside childhood friends Anton Rabie and Ben Varadi, and served as Co-CEO until 2021. Spin Master is now a multi-billion-dollar public company with toy, entertainment, and digital games divisions. A self-described advocate for betting on yourself early, Ronnen was identified with a learning disability, dysgraphia, at age 10, an experience he credits with sharpening the interpersonal and observational skills that shaped his approach to business.
