Hello, I'm Isaac Rudansky.

The Picasso of failure. 

Yep, that's right.

I started my journey as an artist, and let's just say my art wasn't exactly flying off the shelves. 

It's not easy being a starving artist, but I took it to the next level. 

I was a "barely scraping by and crashing at my parents' place" kind of artist. 

Ah, the glamorous life.

One day, disaster struck. 

An unexpected rainstorm turned my beloved canvases into mush. 

It was like Mother Nature herself decided to give me a firm kick in the behind. 

Turns out, my artistic endeavors weren't exactly a guaranteed ticket to the high life. 

Who would've thought? 

So, I had to make a tough call. 

Goodbye, dreams of fame and fortune. Hello, adulting.

I decided to try and build a website for my artwork. Genius move, right? 

Inspired by a vintage radio ad for Squarespace (yep, I'm dating myself here), I mustered up the courage to dive headfirst into web design. 

Armed with determination and a complete lack of sleep, I spent 20 straight hours crafting the most mediocre e-commerce website you've ever seen.

Ah, but then came the burning question: how the heck do I actually get people to visit this website and maybe, just maybe, buy something? 

Enter my obsession with Google Ads. 

Oh boy, did I make a fool of myself. 

I made more mistakes than a toddler trying to color within the lines. 

It was like a crash course in how not to advertise, but hey, at least I learned something.

Google Ads and Facebook Ads became my playground. 

I started taking on any client who'd give me a chance. 

I was like a desperate door-to-door salesperson peddling digital marketing solutions to anyone who'd listen. 

Miraculously, I even managed to hire my first team member, who, against all odds, stuck around for the long haul (probably out of sheer pity).

Those early days were a whirlwind of confusion, sleep deprivation, and relentless learning. 

In the midst of all the chaos, I created a YouTube video. It was my magnum opus, a comprehensive guide to Google Ads that took an absurd amount of time and effort to produce.

And you know what? That video actually gained some traction. 

It's been viewed nearly a million times, which is mind-boggling considering I still can't figure out how to assemble Ikea furniture without shedding a few tears. 

Teaching and sharing my hard-earned knowledge became a new passion, something that kept me going through the sleepless nights and endless cups of coffee (I’m now up to 72 ounces before 6 am).

We upgraded from a cramped 250-square-foot closet to more spacious digs that could handle our growing army of digital marketing experts. 

Today, AdVenture Media Group stands proud with over 50 full-time employees and offices in fancy locations like New York, Philadelphia, and even sunny South Florida (yes, we've infiltrated the land of retirees and alligator-infested swamps).

My team and I have worked with over 500 companies from around the world. Some of our current clients include Forbes Magazine, AMC Networks, Hanes, Sports Illustrated, and the Nasdaq.

But hold on a second, let me set the record straight. 

I'm not sharing this tale of triumph to toot my own horn. 

No, no. 

I'm sharing this rollercoaster ride of a story because I want you to know that I've been right where you are. 

I've experienced the struggles, doubts, and that burning desire to turn your passion into a profitable venture. 

Trust me, I get it.

That's why I created the Adventure Academy. 

I built our agency, and my career, around educating digital marketers all over the world.

Over 290,000 marketers, freelancers, agency owners and small business owners have purchased our digital marketing training.

As far as I can tell, no other on-demand digital marketing training is as popular on the internet.

The AdVenture Academy is our flagship training, offering the most authentic and practical training for digital marketers ever created.

It's a treasure trove of information that I'm sharing with you because we're in this together, my friend. 

So buckle up because we're about to embark on a wild ride together.
