Kris Kamras – Zinzino Royal Ambassador and the New Definition of Freedom

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

“Most people realize too late that they won’t have time to get rich.”
—Kris Kamras, Zinzino Royal Ambassador

Kris Kamras didn’t just become one of the youngest top leaders at Zinzino—he has become a voice for a generation realizing that true freedom doesn’t necessarily start with a company car.

Before he even turned 20, Kris knew he wanted to live life on his own terms. Today, he mentors, travels, speaks, and has the attention of people who dismissed him eight years ago. His story isn’t just about network marketing—it’s about the power of choice. And most importantly: there is always an alternative pathway.

– Why do you believe young people today don’t have time to get rich if they follow the traditional pathway?

Because most traditional pathways are too slow. The classic career trajectory no longer offers real security—just the illusion of it. Go to university, gain 5–10 years of work experience, maybe climb to a mid-level or executive role. By that time, the most energetic years of your life are gone—while the world changes faster than ever. If you’re 22 today, you simply can’t afford to “just study” until 35 and only then “start your life.” We don’t have that kind of time anymore.

– Is that why you started in network marketing at the age of 19?

Exactly. I wasn’t drawn in by a product—I was inspired by a lifestyle model. I wanted to build something meaningful, with freedom and a future. I didn’t have much experience at first, but I had vision. I told myself: even if it takes me ten years to earn €8,000–€13,000 a month, at least I’ll be heading in the direction of my dreams.

– And the results came sooner than expected…

Yes, very quickly. This industry accelerates your growth—not just financially, but personally. You’re forced to grow because your business can’t outgrow you. That scares some people, but it excited me. I believe it takes a certain mindset to handle this scale—a personality whose dreams are bigger than their fears. My dreams were much bigger than my fears.

– Most young people choose university and the corporate pathway. Did you intentionally go up the stream?

Partially. Not out of rebellion, but out of curiosity. I didn’t believe there was only one life script. Expensive university paid for by your parents, company phone, company car, one vacation a year… Many of my former classmates are now more uncertain financially, mentally—even emotionally—than they were at 18. That’s not a critique. It’s a system failure.

– What did this industry give you as a young person that you couldn’t have got elsewhere?

1. Freedom of time– I structure my day the way I want.
2. Financial tools– At the age of 22 I already had an investment plan and passive income.
3. Mentorship – The environment where you learn from those who are where you want to be is priceless.
4. Community – This isn’t just a team. It’s a family.

– What’s the most common misconception young people have about network marketing?

That it’s just “sales” or a bunch of “clapping events”. In reality, it’s a business system. Structure, leadership, psychology, finance—it has everything a real business needs. Except with a low barrier to entry, real support, and fast return of investment.

– You became a mentor at an age when most young adults are still figuring out who they are. How do you handle that responsibility?

With humility. I never say, “I’m the example.” I just started earlier. What I teach, I do. In this industry, “walk the talk” isn’t optional—it’s required. People don’t follow your words. They follow your energy. The word mentor has lost its meaning because many call themselves “coaches” but have never done what they teach. I only learn from those who walk the path themselves.

Ib Nielsen (Zinzino Elite President and one of my first mentors) used to sit in the car with me and drive to meetings. That’s mentorship. Not PowerPoint—real-world experience. At 19, my dream was a car. He took me to the BMW showroom to pick one out. One and a half year later, I had the money for my dream car—but I chose to invest in Zinzino shares instead. The car came later. My mindset and business matured.

– What advice would you give to a 20-year-old who dreams of financial independence?

Stop dreaming—start calculating. How much money do you need to be free? How long will it take to get there? And what’s the cost if you change nothing? Most people want financial freedom, but their choices barely allow them to survive.

First step: take responsibility. Want a Ferrari because you “deserve it”? Great. But don’t let it cost your annual income—make it in a few months of commission. I calculated: many live in homes worth 150 months of their income. In my case, the ratio is much healthier. That’s what I call awareness.

– What’s the biggest difference between you and those who say they’ll start a business “someday”?

I didn’t wait for the perfect moment. I didn’t wait for permission. I just started. Most people overthink—while life passes them by.

Success isn’t about when you start. It’s about not stopping.

– What are you most proud of today?

That I’m already free. Not just financially, but in thinking. I live the life I dreamed of, alongside my amazing wife. And I didn’t do it alone. Now, I can lift others up. Leadership isn’t about how much you earn—it’s about how many people you’ve helped succeed.

For many, network marketing is still a mystery. 

But for Kris Kamras, it’s not just a business—it’s a bridge between generations. A new mindset where freedom isn’t the goal—it’s just the starting point.
