From $0 and cracked iPhones… to packing out arenas and beating Seinfeld at his own game.
Joe Salanitri, Carlo Salanitri, and Andrew Manfre, the comedy trio behind Sooshi Mango, built a global empire from nothing but hustle, heart, and a camera in the garage.
But it wasn’t always sold-out shows and viral skits.
They risked everything. Went broke. Nearly gave it all up.
🔥 What’s inside:
- The broke beginnings you’ve never heard
- Why they nearly quit before it took off
- How they scaled from social skits to sold-out arenas
- The moment they outsold Seinfeld
- What they’re building next (and why it’s bigger than comedy)
