Adrian Alvarez

Adrian Alvarez is the founder of AeroShorts and a caller in Advice Line with Chris Riccobono of UNTUCKit. The source says he started the business as a high school senior, found manufacturing partners after a Las Vegas sourcing show, and was a college sophomore at the time of the call.

His question is how to move from early youth-market traction toward a broader athletic-apparel brand. Chris Riccobono and Guy Raz advise him to use his youth as an advantage in TikTok-native storytelling while making the brand more specific around a first customer tribe, especially volleyball.
