Ira Curry was born in Bay Springs, Mississippi, as the youngest of four children. He earned his GED before pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration.
Before launching his business career, Curry worked in the automotive industry, an experience that shaped his approach to leadership, systems, and client success.

In 2018, Curry founded Enginenear Credit Repair Company by Ira Curry, investing his entire life savings at the time of $100,000 into its creation. The company quickly became one of the fastest-growing credit repair companies in the history of the internet, marking the beginning of reign to King of Business.
Following his initial success, Curry began coaching entrepreneurs and professionals on how to systemize, scale, and brand their businesses. His influence expanded rapidly, leading to the creation of Ira Curry Holdings, Inc., a privately held corporation that oversees multiple companies across consulting, coaching, media, and entertainment.
In 2022, Curry formally introduced the Business Celebrity Movement, a global initiative that redefines how success and influence are achieved in the modern era. The movement transforms employees and small business owners into coaches, and coaches into celebrity coaches—a model that positioned Curry as the first Business Celebrity in history.
In 2022, Curry launched Coachman, the coach and talent division of his business empire. Coachman offers aspiring business celebrities the opportunity to start, run, and grow their own home-based coaching businesses while gaining celebrity-style recognition through branding, media exposure, and training under Curry’s direction.
