Ray is an entrepreneur who grew up in Turkey and now lives in Mexico with his family. Like many, he once believed there was a path he was supposed to follow: after college, he expected to become a computer engineer, build a retirement plan, and retire at 66 to “finally start living life.” But fate had other plans. In 2006, a television commercial changed the course of his life. It posed the question: “If they were to write a book about your life, would anybody want to read it?” Sitting in his condo in Cleveland, Ray realized that on the path he was on, even he wouldn’t want to read his own story. That moment sparked a dramatic shift. Within 90 days, he had quit his job, sold everything he owned, and moved to Mexico to volunteer at a research center near the Guatemalan border, serving indigenous communities. It was there that he met his future wife, who happened to be his Spanish teacher. In what he jokes was another case of “impulse control issues,” they decided to get married and start a business together at the same time — a risky move he doesn’t necessarily recommend, though it worked out for them. Since 2008, Ray has launched more than 20 profitable companies and sold four of them, many in partnership with his wife. Despite his track record, he admits he still often feels like he doesn’t fully know what he’s doing — a reminder, he says, that the more you learn, the more you realize how much you don’t know.

Keith Kakadia is the co-founder and CEO of Sociallyin, a social-media-only agency he started in college that has grown into a 50-person team working with brands like Samsung, Carnival Cruise Line, and Nikon. Over the past 14 years, he’s turned Sociallyin into one of the top-ranked agencies in the U.S., known for blending creativity, data, and community engagement at scale. But Keith’s path hasn’t been a straight line—it’s been a series of calculated risks, late nights, and bold experiments. From early days hustling affiliate marketing campaigns, to bootstrapping an agency in the deep South, to now competing with global shops, his story is one of resilience and reinvention. Beyond running Sociallyin, Keith is passionate about building systems that make businesses more efficient, mentoring up-and-coming entrepreneurs, and exploring how AI can transform creative industries. He brings a candid, unvarnished view of entrepreneurship—the wins, the losses, and the lessons learned along the way. When he’s not scaling companies, you’ll likely find him traveling, experimenting with tech, or pushing himself with new adventures.
