Ricky Blair's Linkedin Analytics

At 16, I dropped out of school, feeling defeated. At 17, I found a mentor who introduced me to Central London's real estate scene. By 24, I launched my first company, Hatton Real Estate. By 30, I sold it to Colliers International. Now based in LA, I mentor aspiring entrepreneurs, students, and celebrities worldwide. I've helped clients raise millions on TV shows like Shark Tank and Dragon's Den, and advised participants from shows that include Million Dollar Listing and The Apprentice. I've also advised the UK government on entrepreneurship and education. I regularly engage in public speaking, sharing my experiences with businesses, high schools, colleges, and community events across the US & Europe. In 2023, I founded Platform Seven to bridge the gap between traditional education and the 'real' world. Platform Seven offers practical courses, inspiring events, personalised mentoring and the tools to help members thrive, whether they're just starting out or already established. Giving back and paying it forward are core to my mission, ensuring others have the same support and guidance that fueled my success.
