Ronnen Harary is the co-founder and chair of Spin Master, the global children's entertainment company behind PAW Patrol, Bakugan, Hatchimals, and the Rubik's Cube. In 1994, alongside two co-founders, he turned $10,000 into a publicly traded powerhouse generating over $2 billion in annual revenue across 190+ countries — all with zero prior business experience. His book, No Experience Necessary, breaks down how curiosity and action-driven confidence beat conventional credentials. He also founded the Toy Movement, bringing toys to children in underserved communities, and the Ronnen Harary Foundation, supporting young people with learning disabilities.
