Deciding to skip business school to start a gym in 2013 changed my life forever. 

Here’s what happened next: 

2013: Launched United Fitness in Huntington Beach, CA, and grew to 6 locations

2016: Founded Gym Launch and switched from privately owning gyms to doing in-person turnarounds

2017: We transitioned from in-person turnarounds to a licensing business and helped over 4500+ facilities transform their businesses.

2019: Our supplement company, Prestige Labs, launched to help those gyms create another profit center and provide their customers with high-quality nutritional products.

2020: Started ALAN, a software company that helps brick-and-mortar businesses get twice as many people in the door on average for one-third the price of a front desk admin.

2020: Founded Acquisition.com, to invest in and help grow companies. Made our first 3 investments.

2021: We sold our majority shares of ALAN to a strategic partner and a 66% stake in Gym Launch and Prestige Labs to American Pacific Group.

It’s been a ride.

Today, through Acquisition.com we participate as minority or majority partners and use the same models that helped scale each of our companies.

If you own a profitable and growing $1M+ in EBITDA company and you’d like us to see if we can help you grow faster:

The only thing more expensive than a good lawyer is a bad one.
The only thing more expensive than a good accountant is a bad one.
The only thing more expensive than smart employees are dumb ones.

Price is what you pay. 
Value is what you get.
Just because it’s a good price, doesn’t mean it’s a good deal.

My top business book tier list. What did I miss?

21 yrs old: Graduated Vanderbilt in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job.

23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym).

24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations.

26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything.

26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time.

26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked.

27 yrs old: “Gym Launch” does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months.

28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year.

29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1,700,000/mo within 6 months.

31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal.

31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it)

31 yrs old: Started our family office Acquisition(dot)com. We invest and scale companies using the $42M in distributions we had taken + the cash from the $46.2M exit.

32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses.

34 yrs old: I became co-founder of Skool - which is a platform for people to build communities online… making a living doing what they love, with people like them.

36 yrs old: I did a $106M book launch selling 3.6M copies, of my $100M Money Models book, in 72 hours, breaking the Guinness world record for the fastest selling, non-fiction book… of all time.

Today: Our portfolio now does $250M/yr in aggregate revenue each year.

To all the gladiators in the arena, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story. You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win.

Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.

If you feel like you’re behind.
If you feel like you’re losing.
If you’re not sure if it’s going to work.
There’s nothing wrong with you.
Welcome to entrepreneurship.

Your success in life will boil down to your ability to: 



1. Tolerate difficulty. 
2. Tolerate uncertainty. 
3. Tolerate difficulty and uncertainty without changing your course of action.

Above your intelligence.
Above your work ethic.
You will be compensated in proportion to one thing.

Risk.

The risks you take in your life are directly correlated with how much you will be compensated.

Above your intelligence, above your work ethic, you will be compensated in proportion to your risk.

Don't stop trying because it didn't work.
It never works the first time.

Obsession is the antidote to mediocrity. 
Action the antidote to anxiety. 
Purpose the antidote to laziness.
We aren’t broken.
We just need something to live for.

How to Structure Your Sales Call like the top 1%

If you only work smart and not hard. 
You will get beaten by someone who works smart and hard.

Your 9-5 isn't killing your dreams.
Wasting your 5-9 is.

If we want progress and growth we must accept the price attached to it.
