   No Degree: How I Built a Marketing Agency Without College | Arden Franklin's Hustle | Red in Black

   Arden Franklin built a 17-year media career without a college degree — and turned a teenage Tumblr blog into bylines at Billboard, SLAM, and SB Nation, work with Gary Vee, a social lead role at Fnatic, and his own marketing agency. In this episode of Red in Black, Arden sits down with Red Young to talk about the alternative route: chasing a sports journalism dream he's had since age 10, choosing hustle over a degree he couldn't afford, and the hip-hop ethos that taught him to make something shake instead of waiting for permission. It's a conversation about self-education, building a career on your own terms, and passing the game to the next generation. A proud Westchester County native, Arden breaks down how environment becomes instinct — and why "no plan B" never felt like a gamble.
