Ex Nightclub Owner Reveals Melbourne Nightlife Secrets That Made Him a Multi Millionaire — Danny Rants

How does a kid from public housing become one of Melbourne's biggest nightclub promoters and a millionaire? I sat down with Danny Grant, known online as Danny Rants, the Melbourne entrepreneur who co-founded the Hello Sunshine festival and built a viral alcohol brand during COVID.

Danny explains how selling split cigarettes at 13 taught him supply and demand, how 6,000 sign-ups for 1,000 tickets let him sell out a rave in two minutes, and what owning a nightclub at 25 cost him, including a $700,000 bill. We get into the call to cancel Hello Sunshine with a loss near a million dollars in view, and how a viral bottle shop post became an online store that sold $3,500 in its first hour.

He also opens up about growing up with drug-addicted parents, six months in hospital with anxiety at 16, and why his advice comes down to back yourself and don't die wondering.
