Whether it’s about Ben Ricciardi, his clients, or the influencers he partners with, it’s always about standing out, not trying to fit in. It’s not about playing outside the lines; it’s about refusing to acknowledge that the lines even exist. Born into a family of audacious entrepreneurs and creatives, he inherited an all-in work ethic and a passion for taking risks and breaking the mold. This fearless attitude has earned him a massive legion of over 1 million engaged Instagram followers and an esteemed reputation in the creative industry.
As the leader of his aptly named agency, Times10, Ben’s goal is to create an impact that shakes the audience to its core. He’s not just helping high-profile brands reach their sales targets, he’s detonating them with results so explosive people are left asking “how’d you do that?” Ben lives for new challenges and seeks out the top performers in any field to collaborate, learn, and evolve. He’s a sought-after speaker, advisor, and contributor, bringing unmatched energy and value to events, product launches, business publications, podcasts, and national news programs.
In business, Ben brings a creative approach that’s second to none, with tenacity to exceed expectations. He has a unique ability to find the good and make it the best. When he’s not working, he’s passionate about his family, his unstoppable team at Times10, and a good round of golf. Although he’s a philanthropist at heart, he keeps his charitable acts low-key, preferring to let his actions speak for him.
He faced many challenges at the beginning of his career, but one thing that often surprises people the most is that when he first moved to LA I lived out of his car for a few months. Additionally, he started his agency, Times10, with only $1,500 in his bank account and a vision of what he wanted his future to look like. He knew his talent and tenacity, so he knew it was only temporary, although a humbling experience he’ll never forget or try to hide.
These challenges have shaped him into the person he is now, teaching him to trust the journey, believe in his work, and push forward knowing you’re going to arrive at your end goal one way or another. “When you’re knocked down, you have to get up stronger than you were before, or you won’t survive”, Ben said.
The advice he would give is to know it’s going to be hard. You have to prepare yourself for when things don’t work out or go the way want them to. Social media puts a rose-colored lens on someone else’s life, but that’s not the reality of becoming a successful entrepreneur. The way you react in hard times is significantly more important than how you react during the good.
