Today we’d like to introduce you to Tyrik Wynn.
Hi Tyrik, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
At 14 years old in 2014, I wrote my 1st book, “Green Is The Thing! Money Management For Kids.” The purpose of this book was to teach kids how to make, save and manage their money at a young age because I was taught this at a young age. Nowadays, the school systems are lacking financial literacy, which is a problem. I wanted to be part of the solution. My mom had already written two books herself, so I had tons of help from her. When I published the books tons of media outlets continued to reach out to bring me on their platforms to do interviews, so that’s when I had my first press tour. When I was getting invited to do all these interviews, that’s how I got the “media bug.” I started watching the news regularly, watching talk shows and more, and that’s when I realized I wanted to be a TV personality.
In August of 2016, my parents and I were in the car, and I said to them, “I want to create my own show, so let’s go to NBC, CBS, ABC and tell them to make me a show.” My parents told me that, unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that. They informed me that I should start on YouTube and get discovered from there. A few weeks later, I set up a small tripod and a small Nikon camera and began to film myself talking. It took a lot of takes to get it halfway decent. I decided to name the show “Tyrik On The Move.” My first guest was actually my mom, and I interviewed her about her books. I continued to do more episodes, and then I landed my 1st paid gig. I was asked to come and interview various authors at an author showcase event. That’s when I realized I can start making money off of my show and I made a few dollars here and there. At 1st my show was lacking viewership, and I realized I needed to change up some things, so I had the amazing idea to start interviewing celebrities on my show. I have had the amazing pleasure of interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris, Congressman John Lewis, Tony Gonzalez, Judge Lauren Lake, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, RHOA’s Cynthia Bailey, Boxer Gervonta Tank Davis, Anthony Hamilton RHOA’s Kandi Burruss, Drew Brees, Andrew Yang, BNC’s & RHOA’s Mike Hill, BNC’s Sharon Reed, Sierra McCormick and so many more. Bringing on these amazing celebrities has helped the show grow tremendously and I can’t thank them enough.
In 2017, I got really passionate about being a news anchor/reporter and I actually tried to get a job at some of the major news stations here in Atlanta, but they informed me that I could not work there because I was still in high school, and I didn’t have experience. Since they told me no, I went and created my own news broadcast called “TW News.” I would go around town, report on various stories, and come back home and anchor my own newscast for the show. When I was doing this, I was the anchor, a reporter, the meteorologist, the producer, and everything else in between.
My parents noticed that I was very passionate about all of this, and they said when I turned 18, we would turn all of this into a business. In December of 2018, we created Wynn Productions LLC. At 1st Wynn Productions was only a production company that taped “Tyrik On The Move.” After we created the company, our 1st credentialed event was Super Bowl 53 and the Lord continued to bless us from there.
Over the past few years, Wynn Productions LLC has come a very long way. Now at Wynn Productions, we specialize in professional videography services, which are TV Commercials, Customer Testimony Videos, Video Business Cards, Drone/Aerial Filming, Television Shows, Event Filming, and more. The purpose of people using our services is so they can grow their businesses and get tons of exposure. We also produce our own shows, those shows are Tyrik On The Move, The Sugar Tooth Show, What’s Your Business, The Fun Adventures Show and more coming soon. Right now, Wynn Productions goals are to get all of the shows we tape and produce on major television networks and streaming platforms and to open up our own studio and office space and we are believing God for these things.
Aside from Wynn Productions LLC, I am involved in a lot more things. I am a national news anchor and reporter at iHeartMedia, a national journalist on the hit television show, Fatal Attraction on TV ONE, an actor, real estate investor, and I’m a host/moderator for Students with King at The Martin Luther King Jr. Center in Atlanta.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been easy at all. There have been lots of stressful moments, lots of disappointments and lots of obstacles, but by the grace of God, I have overcome them. For example, at first, when I was trying to get celebrity interviews, all of their publicists kept telling me no because my audience was not big enough and so lots of people would never give me a chance, but in the end, the Lord led me to reach out to the right people and apply for credentials to the right event and now it’s pretty easy for me to get celebrity interviews.
Also, when I was first trying to get credentialed for events, I couldn’t get into many things because of my age and I didn’t have enough viewers on my platform, but the Lord has been such a blessing, none of those things play a factor anymore, and now my numbers are soaring through the roof.
On the business side of things, when we first started doing video production, it was very hard to get clients to purchase our services and I would always have to reach out to people so they could purchase our services and support the business and I kept getting no, not at this time, I’m not interested, etc. Now, the Lord has blessed us where we no longer have to reach out to anyone. Tons of customers come to us on a weekly basis to buy video production services.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

What makes you happy?
There are a lot of things that make me happy. Continuing to travel the world, seeing new places and going on vacation makes me the happiest. Aside from that, having lots of success with my field makes me very happy. I’m very blessed to be where I am right now in my career and I don’t take any of it for granted. Also always knowing that I am making my parents, my family and God proud makes me very happy too. Foodwise, Cheesecake Factory strawberry cheesecake, Welch’s Fruit Snacks and Funyuns can make me happy, no matter what mood I may be in at the time.
