About this episode
Hey there, it’s time for a new episode of Digital Social Hour and this week we have a very special guest with us, the amazing YPK Raye. In this episode, we’ll be talking to Raye about his passion for basketball and his journey to fame on social media. We kick off our conversation by asking Raye how he’s liking his new life in Las Vegas. We dive into the weather and the basketball runs there while Raye describes his talent for jumping. He has a captivating story of discovering it in high school and the thrill of his first dunk in the 10th grade. We then explore Raye’s background and his love for sports since he was just ten years old. He tells us about his highest vertical jump, almost 50 inches, and how he accomplished his first in-game dunk. Raye shares his social media success with us, talking about his videos based on his real-life experiences with basketball. We love his humor in real-life basketball situations and it’s no wonder he has over 1.6 million followers on YouTube alone! We then delve into Raye’s future goals and aspirations to expand his brand. We talk about his plans to start his own AAU team and program to allow more kids to play. Raye's ultimate goal is to eliminate the politics and pay-to-play system in basketball. We are impressed by Raye’s positive mindset and drive to create opportunities for others. We also discuss how social media has made it possible for athletes to make millions through branding and endorsement deals, and YPK Raye is no exception. This episode is definitely worth a listen, we know you’ll enjoy our conversation just as much as we did.
