But then you got Kendall Jenner, on the other hand, who's crushing it.
Right.
You said Kylie or Kendall?
Kendall.
I mean, both.
All of them.
I mean, both.
They're influencers.
I don't feel like they're actors.
I don't think they are.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
I think they started off vlogging in a sense of reality.
Kind of started.
Who follow them and are investing their life because of them.
Right.
So they are.
They are influencers.
Now you got Happy Dad too.
You got Happy Dad.
They're like the fun.
Shout out Sam and Johnny.
The fun beer
they understand their influence and tapping into the moments and their network and they had the
they have the podcast just like logan they have the podcast to put their product on it's just
it all works hand in hand yeah that pod was a good move these guys aren't celebrities
yeah they're influential that's what i'm saying
all right welcome back to the digital social hour guys i'm your host sean kelly here with
my co-host wayne le. What up, what up?
And our guest today, Cam Fordham.
Good to see you.
Looking good, man.
Happy to be here.
Vegas.
Yeah.
Vegas.
You're from Nashville, right?
So I'm not originally from Nashville.
I'm from Atlanta.
Okay.
Coming out of Atlanta out of high school.
Got a football scholarship in LSU.
Went down there.
Was there for about a year and a half or so.
And then transferred and finished up at NC State. And then went back to Atlanta, started the business,
get engaged. And three years into the business, ended up moving to LA. We expanded our presence
out there. And then during COVID, it's just, you know how LA was. You moved to Vegas. Not a lot was going on and we didn't know what the outcome was going to be.
So I ended up visiting a buddy that I grew up with in Atlanta that was a country music singer.
So I went to Nashville and had a great weekend.
I was like, you know, let me come back another weekend in the next month or so and see if this is really for real. So I
came back and it just blew me away. Just everybody there is just super, you know, nice accommodating.
It's no state income tax. Everything's new. There's no traffic. And I just feel like Nashville
in general is, you know, on the rise and it's very special. And so I moved there about two years ago
now. Nice. And that's where I'm at.
That's a long-winded answer, but. Yeah. What was it like playing football at LSU? Because that's
like one of the best programs. LSU was great, man. So my dad. What position? You look like a
receiver. Shoot, I wish I could say that. So I've lost a lot of weight since. So I went in as a
tight end. Went in as a tight end. Left went in as a tight end left as a center whoa
right that's a big transition exactly well those are two totally different mindsets yes a tight
end is like you know a bigger stronger receiver a center is like a monster that's like the center
piece that is the glue that holds the line together if you bust through the center center
has got to be the strongest one yes yeah they call it the qb of the line together. If you bust through the center. Center's got to be the strongest one, right?
Yes.
Yeah, they call it the QB of the offensive line.
Yeah, because you're doing two things at once.
You're actually hiking, blocking.
To go from this position to straight up.
Oh, you got to be quick.
Linebacker coming straight up.
And you're telling the other linemen what to do.
You got to know the snap count as well.
You got to snap the ball.
So it's a lot.
So they had a need.
You know, I had the ability to put on weight.
And they would just like start eating.
I think there's an opportunity here at the center.
And that was that.
So I ended up weighing like 295 when I played at the peak.
And if I would have done it all over again, would I have played tight end
and just stuck with it?
Absolutely.
You would have went to the league.
It's a little bit more fun.
But, you know, things happen for a reason.
Yeah.
But it was awesome school.
Grew up, like, my dad played there.
Yeah.
So it was a childhood dream of mine.
Oh, Derbeckham played there, too.
Exactly.
So O came in a year after I got there.
Oh, girl.
We were super cool.
And Jarvis, like, all those guys.
Jarvis Landry. Oh oh so you was on that team
that was lit so mettenberger um jordan jefferson like that those were the two kibis while i was
there oh you was those late years at lsu y'all was hopping gave alabama run for their money
y'all was doing our thing for sure did you guys win that year? So, actually, so I got there.
We went to the Cotton Bowl.
We won the Cotton Bowl against Texas A&M.
And then the year after, I had left right before the season.
So, I was there for a year and a half.
They had gone to the National Championship versus Alabama.
And they had lost.
I think the score was like, wasn't it like 9-3?
Something like that.
It was something.
It was super close.
But I would have stuck around for like a couple more months. score was like, when it like nine to three, it was something, it was super close, but wow. If I
would've stuck around for like a couple more months, I would at least have been in the
championship. So you started getting engaged right after college? Yeah. So, so I actually,
before getting engaged, I started a sports website called campus sports.net. Are you someone that

at North Carolina State and I just saw a need for blending college sports news and lifestyle with, you know, culture and celebrity athlete interviews and the whole nine yards.
So I did that for a couple of years, got that off the ground.
We ended up selling that to Coed Media out of New York.
And, you know, my business partner, Ben, and I knew each other just through mutual friends in Atlanta.
And, you know, we had the idea to, you know, take the connections that we had and turn it into more of a business and helping talent and figures monetize their brands online.
So that's how we started originally.
You're one of the best people I know at networking and connections.
I mean, your network is insane.
What would you attribute that to? Like, did you have a breakthrough moment and then he
just sent you furls from there yeah i mean i just i i'm a people person like i really like to provide
value to people and you know understand the importance of relationships and yeah um you know
i had the sports background i think i I learned how to really get along and gel
with different people and from different backgrounds.
So actually our first client that we started working with,
well it was two kind of at the same time,
was Waka Flocka and TI in Atlanta.
Yeah, so Waka is a tremendous guy.
TI as well. You know, they they were needing help with, you know, some of their social stuff
and, you know, monetizing their Facebook pages and things like that.
So we try to figure a way in with those guys at first,
because in Atlanta, like rappers, TI, Walker, they're big time.
That's a big time.
It's a big time.
You know, that that was that
was the pinnacle from where we're from and what we know so um yeah they so we got in with them
helping them monetize their facebook and then you know actually there was a need ti wanted this
someone to sell his merch and his meet and greets on tour was that uh his brand car hustle gang
his house game was what's the other one
aku aku so we didn't sell aku we sold hustle game products but like he needed someone on tour we
had never done that before but we're just raise our hand we're like we'll do it we'll figure it
out so we ended up figuring it out and went on tour with him and you know did that did the hustle
game tour yeah back in like 2016. oh huge um and we did that and just kind of parlayed it from there
just kept making connections and you know providing value to people and trying to get in with them and
yeah turned into the whole agency model and then where did you get your corporate clients because
i know you guys work with raising canes yeah after the celebrities or was it around the same time so
yeah we started with the celebrities and and you know it just kind of came away as you know celebrities wanted brand connections and you
know we started getting in with brands and you know seeing their lens and their side of you
versus talent and we actually saw an opportunity that like brands need an agency like ours to help them become
culturally relevant and to make their stamp online and help them curate their voice.
And so brands has been a big part of our company and growing it and where we're going.
So yeah.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah.
Raising Cane's is one of their clients.
Yeah. I like Raising canes is one of their clients. Yeah, I like raising cases. The
owner I like that he's a he's super active, right? Like he's
so involved with the with the growth of a company even though
still they are, you know, whatever what they're evaluated
at, I want to say a number because I want to be wrong. But
I mean, he's super active and involved for sure even with the post
malone the pink when they opened up in utah he was he was post malone was part of it post malone has
one oh really utah yeah all pink one it's all king kane's you know that's not kane's motto but he you
know he altered it just for you know post malone interesting posted it a little bit yeah yeah yeah so no you're
right though Todd is a phenomenal person first of all great person yeah um super involved yeah
really cares um AJ his CEO is is one of you know the best operators just in business in general
he's fantastic so and they have a great team And I just think with them is they really understand,
you know, where marketing is going,
you know, connecting culture and the power of social media
and Todd's a people person and he values relationships.
And I can't say good enough things
about just the way they think and operate.
I don't feel like when people say culture, like it's a racial thing.
I kind of just feel like it's more of like a belief thing.
Like this is what we all believe in.
This is what's dope to us.
A hundred percent.
This helps us come together.
This helps us come together.
So people kind of separate culture with race.
And I'm like, nah, it's more so like, I feel like culture is another way of saying a community.
Absolutely. Because, you know, we all kind of eat, I feel like culture is another way of saying a community. Absolutely.
Because, you know, we all kind of eat, dress the same, listen to the same music.
So that's the culture.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Totally agree.
And he's definitely is in tune, for sure.
He's locked in.
I like him a lot.
I watch him on Instagram.
I'm like, yo, this dude is so active.
Right.
You don't see that because who's the owner?
I'm granted the owner of McDonald's dot, right?
But you don't never see him. You don't see that because who's the owner i'm granted the owner of mcdonald's dot right but you don't never see them like you don't never see the ceo you don't see ceos like partying and
being around and being active exactly it's like new age stuff that in these exactly like you're
saying like you made up you brought up a good point is you don't in the qsr space you don't
see a ceo or a or a founder yeah that identifies with the brand yeah party really you don't see a CEO or a founder that identifies with the brand.
You don't.
I can't think of any, to be honest.
They're invisible.
They're invisible.
So it's special.
Who owns Jack in the Box?
No idea.
I don't know.
Who owns it?
In-N-Out.
Huh?
In-N-Out.
Who owns it?
Which is nothing.
Who owns it?
But it's nothing against it.
It's just special that they can tie together and it all works yeah
yeah and that's fresh for sure yeah what about Theo Vaughn how'd you get in with him man Theo
we just we just met yeah we met through a mutual friend in Nashville actually one of Kane Brown's
managers Nikki she introduced us
I was really fascinated with what he had going why he moved to to Nashville and
you know just wanted to meet him because I felt like a lot of our talent could
come on his platform and I felt like we could do a lot of things with Theo in
general yeah and we met and he was phenomenal guy hmm super super cool kind
you know cares about people and we just, super cool, kind, you know, cares about people.
And we just, like, we just gelled.
And, you know, we do a lot of fun things with Theo now, you know, from, you know, some of his podcast stuff and helping out with brands and, you know, helping him, you know, with different social opportunities and stuff.
But he's, first of all, he's just's just you know a friend and you want to see
him win that's awesome i feel like get engaged provides such a valuable service to content
creators because a lot of them don't know how to make money on social media but you guys have
cracked that code and you can help people out with that for sure i think that's why you guys are
succeeding so much appreciate that man yeah do you do you consider you guys a competitor to like caa
and uta or is it different no not at all i mean I just feel like we're in our own lane. We look at CAA like they're
phenomenal to us. Like we help their clients make money and, you know, they they help bring
us opportunities like we work very synergistically. Can't say enough good things about all the talent
agencies, the CAAs, the UTAs, the WMEs, the Wassermans,
and then on down to the management companies. We're just, we don't, we rep the brands
or we'll help people on digital or curate the deals
or bring them investment opportunities
or start brands with them.
So we're just really a value add or a bonus.
Yeah, you can look at,
some people look at it as competition, Sean,
but I think more so is that you're still providing an asset.
You're still being an asset,
regardless if it's your client or not.
You're still fulfilling that need there.
Exactly.
I'll get it done.
I know somebody.
And whether it's at another company or somewhere else,
you still get a piece of the pie.
It's just...
Well, the thing about it when we tell people from the start
is we're not trying to manage your artist.
We're not trying to take your artist.
We need you in the equation to make this thing work it's a team effort and we just want to provide how you
write because they're probably trying to protect their client where people take
them you don't care we have respect business you know we don't they're not
in that management world yeah that's probably why they like working with you guys for sure yeah they're curators yeah yeah yeah as long as you take
care of them everybody's taking care of everything's good everything all the deliverables
are there we good to go keep it rocking no question i gotta ask this because i haven't seen
you in three years but you're looking you're looking good bro you look like you lost like 50
pounds i gotta know what happened 50. i think it's been about like 40 45 that's a lot
how much weight right now so naturally in high school i think i weighed like you know 215 220.
i'm about like 206 207 right now i think um i just got to the point where i just i wanted to take it
off i want you know longevity wise it's just better to just be leaner and always more healthy and active
and yeah this past year i was just like if i'm not gonna do it now i'm 31 like what am i gonna do it
so i just decided to take it seriously taking a lot of vitamins um supplements different peptides
and nice i keep hearing peptides yeah it's the way man we gotta get on those bro but like you know went to um you know
just dove in and took it serious played you know play some golf a lot of pickleball going on my
walks just mentally it's helped a lot yeah so how many steps you doing today i don't even know i
don't have a tracker i checked mine yesterday if it feels good to me i'm at 10 000 i'm not 5200 i want to double it that's too low
yeah 5200 is about that's half a 10k so it's an hour and a half for 10 000 steps so how are you
hitting 10k you just walk an hour and a half oh so you're walking like outside yeah i'd walk a
trail purposely so my purposely hit 10k steps yeah i gotta start doing that purposely in this
in this heat, though?
Yeah.
That's like 20,000 steps.
No, think about it.
Well, yeah, it's 20,000 steps. But in the morning, it's like the sun is not as heavy.
The brightest sun is at 12.
So if you get up at 7, 8, and you walk the trail, it's not as intense as the sun is.
So I still hit my 10 K steps.
An hour and a half, bro.
That makes sense.
I burned like 678 calories.
And then you hit the sauna after that, right?
And then I'll go to the gym, hit the sauna, or I'll do the walk.
Then I go melt.
Or I'll do the walk on my off days.
But sauna is mandatory.
I don't do nothing else.
I'm hitting the sauna.
Okay.
That's wild.
I don't even lift a weight.
I'll do sauna and leave.
So great point right there.
That's also what's helped me.
I bought one of those infrared saunas.
I keep hearing infrared though.
I haven't done an infrared sauna yet.
It heats you from the inside out.
It's different.
You don't sweat as bad or it takes you a long time to sweat.
But inside, you're sweating.
Yeah, Gary correctly said the same thing.
I need to get one of those.
Get one for the house.
I have a contact for you but i'm
done they um that's helped a ton it has the red light therapy where do you put it in in the
backyard in my garage yeah i'll put it in the garage yeah just put in my garage for now i'm
building actually a house in nashville as we speak and i'm going to have a section of the house for
like my wellness area that's my yeah my infrared cold tub etc i like the gym
just because it's social i hate being i feel like if everything's at the crib i'm isolated
so the gym gives me that social hour for me to intermix and like you know just mix around and
talk and be around people and absorb but if everything is at the crib bro i just feel like
i think you could have both, though.
Yeah.
If that's how you get it done
and that's the best for you, I get it.
Or the ice tub or
the hyperbolic chamber or all the other
shit. Bro, I just went
to the UFC Institute yesterday. Have you been there?
Is it nuts? Dude, insane. They have all
that stuff. They have cryo.
I want to go yeah they have
a pool where you can run in it oh the tread the tread the tread pool yeah yeah so my buddy forrest
griffin he's uh for griffin was at my gym training people like exactly so he he's a friend of mine
um known each other for a long time and he said whenever you're in vegas stop by so i'm i'm going to text him after that
yeah what about ralte what's that about so realty um oh real team my bud no you're fine it's um it's an it's an awesome company it's a rocket ship right now so blo new kella who's the ceo and
lee furstein he's one of their major backers, investors. You know, they're awesome.
You know, Lee's track record is from Skinny Pop, Veggie Straws,
Core Water that he's been a part of.
Bloden, you know, was very high up at the drink buy.
Oh, wow.
And he's a data scientist at heart.
He really understands the beverage industry, study of the game.
Very young.
He's like 28.
Beast.
And, you know, we invested in one of Lee's brands, Owen.
It's a plant-based protein shake, and it's seeing a lot of success.
And I just knew they knew how to grow a company, you know, from the ground up.
They have all the distribution relationships.
They have, you know, the business side of things really in that
area right secured so you know they came to us actually with an idea because we
had always told them we would love to be a part of a brand from the ground up and
help curate the whole experience you know in in conjunction with them and
they they said hey you know we like to go after tired categories
iced tea is a very tired category if you know in the broad spectrum of things why you know you don't
why is it a target so what do they mean by that i've never heard that for sure say you walk into
a qt or a gas or a 7-eleleven. You go to the tea cooler.
What do you see? You see a tea that
has 34 grams of sugar.
Tons of calories.
Might taste good or might
not. But there's nothing that
has zero sugar, zero
carbs, zero calories,
all natural ingredients that
taste great. Does it have soup close in it
though? This stuff? No. It's sweetened by monk fruit. all natural ingredients that taste great does it have so close in it though this
this stuff no it's sweetened by monk okay yeah I'm running into yeah zero
sugar but no it's learning about so close is that right yeah it's now it's
in there and our body don't digest it right so I'm like I can't drink this
even though it's supposedly good for you still bath yeah the diet sodas have
there yeah so it's monk fruit right and so what's the difference between that and actual uh let's say
uh cane sugar because i know what the difference between that and fake sugar but what would be
the difference between that and cane sugar so it's is it still sweet though it's it still tastes
sweet like it tastes it tastes really we gotta
try some i want to i should have brought some today but it tastes sweet it's just it's it's
better for you wow okay it's much better because iced tea has hella sugar usually like and does
are you guys making arnold palmer's because bro i'm the arnold palmer i won't speak on that but
it's been it's been in discussion okay i don't know we'll see i don't know yeah but
um yeah just it's a wide open space yeah and we're excited about it i think that you know the
company has a lot of potential where it's going since it since it launched you know a lot of
retailers are signing up wow whole foods sprouts wagmans Harris Teeter Kroger crushing the nationwide and
more coming you know yeah as the weeks go on so super exciting Morgan Wallen's a partner on it
nice yeah I'm looking at his name the whole interview yeah we got him involved he's he's
doing his thing right now and is you know only getting you know bigger and better and he's just
like he's a good person so nice yeah was prime an inspiration to get in the drink space you'd say um i don't i
don't think prime was an inspiration i love what they've done i think it's miraculous with you
know logan and jeff and bringing ks science in the mix and nothing but respect i think it's a
little different with what we're doing still a a drink, obviously, but those guys are out of here.
I mean, what they've done is fascinating.
They're competing directly with Gatorade right at this moment.
Yeah, they're head to head with them.
And it's cool to see.
I don't think people realize the power and the pull that someone like a Logan and a KSI had,
like being influencers.
They're not traditional movie
stars or you know a big corporate guys but like they've showed that how powerful social and
and the whole dynamic is the consumer marketing at its guerrilla marketing at its at its finest
like finest that's guerrilla marketing no middleman direct to consumer at its finest. That's guerrilla marketing, no middleman, direct-to-consumer at its purest
farm. For them to pull
off that, throw the bottle at a stunt
and make it seem like
the drink was hated and then
slap us in the face with a
eh, this was a stunt.
I said
wow. They tapped into all the cultural
moments and everything
that Logan's done with the WNB and KSI, you know, getting involved with the soccer team and just the UFC partnership.
It's been great to see.
No money on marketing.
Bro, it's nuts.
They were everywhere when I went to the UFC.
Little to no money on marketing, bro.
Influence, man.
That's the power of being engaged and influenced.
They're using it's almost like content creators
are more getting more influential than celebrities now than like a list active bro think about it
even with you know starting from ground zero bro you have to figure out a way to be funny the way
to make people laugh a way to captivate people a way to capture we're constantly learning
algorithms right so celebrities aren't learning they're just being called to restaurants paparazzi
outside boom paris hilton eats this vegan burger from plant world or whatever right boom with us
it's like you have to be creative with your approach because you want to get seen right so
your creativity levels are a lot higher because it takes that much that goes into it
to get 1,000 views or to get 10,000 views, you know what I'm saying?
So it's just a different mindset, bro.
And yes, absolutely.
It's way more powerful than celebrities because more creativity goes into the work.
We're more art-based.
Yeah, and I will say, like, obviously, you know, musicians and movie stars or whatever it is, they can move product or they have the influence.
I just think that, you know, in some circumstances, like you're saying, the guerrilla marketing and the numbers and the amount of effort a lot of these influencers are able to put in, you know, shows broadly and numbers wise. Yes.
In the whole nine yards.
So they have an excuse to really go hard, hard, hard.
Content creators have the science.
Celebrities are more of a arrive here.
Correct.
Do this.
This is done.
They have no science behind what they're doing.
No reasoning behind it.
For sure.
But content creators, there's an actual story.
There's a why behind it. Whether it's real or it's fake it's still captivating so you know how to own the audience
they know how to control them so my opinion is content creators are a lot more powerful
than celebrities they do have reach though i'm not taking this celebrity reach away from them
but i'm just saying content creators are just like
mr beast man you're killing like mr beast who is he he just showed up and he's been here he didn't
just show up i mean he's not not just show up i'm not that but he just kind of became this thing
you know then you got him you have ninja you got all these other guys they never played in movies
they never rapped they didn't release some damn album mr beast got chocolates bro he's on uber eats yeah he got ghost kitchens everywhere no he actually just uh but then you got kendall
jenner on the other hand who's crushing it right you know you said kylie or kendall i mean all of
them i mean yeah but kim they're they're influencers i don't feel like they're actors
i don't think they are that's a good point. I think they started off vlogging in the sense of reality show, which is a form of that.
That's where it kind of started.
People follow them and are invested in their life because of them.
Right.
Like, they are influencers.
Yeah.
So, I don't believe that they're, I wouldn't call them actresses or anything like that.
I think they're influencers at the higher form.
So, an actor example.
Yeah.
George Clooney and Randy with Casamigos. There you there you go they don't they're not on social media oh they started casamigos yes
i didn't know that he started that with his boys right and mike meldman that that was their third
partner um with discovery land did he actually sell it yeah they sold it wow i sold it i think
george clooney i feel like he opened up the door for kevin hart lebron to come
out with theirs and everyone else was starting to get into it they were the founders yeah well puff
puff actually initiated that but you're right i feel like casamigos kind of they they just kind
of came bro i mean they're under that umbrella bro yeah now you got happy dad too you got happy dad

The fun beer.
It's not even a beer, but yeah.
No, I know you meant it.
Seltzer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's fun.
But they understand their influence and tapping into the moments and their network.
And they have the podcast.
Just like Logan, they have the podcast, just like Logan.
They have the podcast to put their product on.
It all works hand in hand.
Yeah, that pod was a good move.
These guys aren't celebrities.
They're influencers.
That's what I'm saying.
It's power in content creation, bro.
It's king.
And you have an excuse to do it.
You got an excuse to do it.
Man, what are you up to next and where can people find you?
Man, all good i just think um
you know we're we're shifting more into you know the brand world and you know incubating brands and
investing in in different opportunities i think you know we're just we're at about 90 employees now
um offices in atlanta nashville new york and soon to be be LA. So I just I think the future is
bright. I mean every day is different with us. It's not you know it's exciting
not the status quo. It's growing thankfully and you know I
don't know where we're gonna be in a year. We have goals, we have plans, but
everything shifts in this in this world and social media chat you gotta
adapt absolutely that's one thing you've crushed it with nothing it's gotta adapt
yeah because whenever they get platforms people hate on it but you guys have been
able to use it to your man have some threads I mean that popped up two days
now people are starting to adjust their strategy to threads and brands are getting
involved and they want to be ahead of the curve and want to start there to get a jump
start.
Because if you're on there the first day as a brand, you're going to have more eyeballs
when people are onboarding and getting on.
Absolutely.
I feel like you have more visibility.
People say you want to get in, start dealing with these new platforms at the beginning. I think with threads,. Speaker 4. Speaker 5.

Speaker 25. Speaker 26. Speaker 27. Speaker 28. Speaker 29. Yeah. So to be selling stuff on there right now is like prime posting links and visit YouTube channels.
So that is threads.
I got to dive into it a little bit more, but it doesn't show the views on the on the threads yet.
Oh, really?
I would assume that's coming.
Well, it shows the likes and shows the likes in the comments.
Yeah.
It doesn't show how many actual views impressions.
But I'm sure it's coming in the next month or two.
It could. It could. I think they start showing it impressions or they could keep just
curious like you know with your algorithm you're only seeing a
percentage of your following yeah like what is that saying is that hitting
everybody's timeline is it hitting half is it hitting a quarter I don't know yeah where can people find you man man just right here around bro i'm not leaving no i'm kidding
