Drake White had a chance to learn a lot from Zac Brown when he toured with the Zac Brown Band last year. One big thing he took away was to in-house as much of his career as possible. Drake says, “I believe that the entrepreneurial spirit in me says to go and anybody that’s making money off of you, in-house it, put it in a house, where it makes sense, let me say that. So to watch Zac and what Zac’s been able to do with his innovation through merchandising, merchandising is a big thing. And the more knowledge I can get from Zac and how to run my business, the cleaner my business is going to be run and the better steward I’m going to be able to be of my money.”
Drake wants to be able to save as much money as possible in his career because his ultimate goal is to invest all of his resources into youth camps that will enable and empower young people to be self-sufficient adults and to have the courage to chase all of their dreams.
The desire to build and operate the camps is what drives Drake to work so hard, whether it’s promoting his latest single, “Makin’ Me Look Good Again,” or touring as much as possible to build his fan base.

Drake White – in housing career :49
“I believe that the entrepreneurial spirit in me says to go and anybody that’s making money off of you, in-house it, put it in a house, where it makes sense, let me say that. So to watch Zac and what Zac’s been able to do with his innovation through merchandising, merchandising is a big thing. And the more knowledge I can get from Zac and how to run my business, the cleaner my business is going to be run and the better steward I’m going to be able to be of my money, which is ultimately … money’s not happiness but money buys – it can get you into a place to where you can have that leverage to really, really explode your big goals. And my big goal is to influence the world with music, is to influence people and to go out and educate people on how they can follow their dreams and chase their dreams and through camps and through experiences like that.”
