This was a snapshot from this morning.

Amazon’s Private Equity bestsellers list.

📚 #4, #7, #8, and #10 — all my books, written over a 7-year period.

Two of those spots (#4 and #8) are different editions of the same book.
If the volume weren’t split, it would permanently sit at #1.

That’s the point.

Other books cycle in and out.
Mine live there.

They’re required reading at multiple EMBA programs.
They’re recommended by some of the world’s largest private equity firms for incoming associates.

So you’ve got a choice:

Learn private equity in theory from professors…
Or learn from someone who’s actually done it — $2.5B in successful PE-backed exits.

Experience compounds.
Charts don’t lie.

Week 1 Update: Empire Builder Academy 🌍

In its first week, Empire Builder Academy already has enrollees from 3 continents.

Entrepreneurs.
Business owners.
Influencers who are done consuming content and ready to build something real.

This cohort is shaping up exactly as intended:
✔ Serious operators
✔ Long-term thinkers
✔ People investing in capability, not hacks

For 30+ years I’ve been in the arena—
• Fortune 500 leadership (GE)
• 25 years as a CEO
• Built 3 large companies for 9 private equity firms
• 58 acquisitions
• $2.5B in exits

Empire Builder Academy is where I finally put the full playbook—not theory, not recycled internet advice, but how empires are actually built.

Yes, it’s not cheap.
That’s intentional.

The top tiers include direct access to me, because proximity to experience matters.

If you want “tips,” LinkedIn is free.
If you want judgment, pattern recognition, and hard-earned lessons, that’s different.

2026 will separate:
• those who consume
• from those who compound

If you’ve been on the fence, ask yourself one question:
👉 What would change if you invested in yourself at the same level you invest in your business?

Enrollment is open. 
The cohort is forming now.

Most entrepreneurs worry about growth.
Very few worry about leakage.

In this clip from Empire Builder Academy, I’m in an informal, no-script conversation with one of the best CPA / CFOs I’ve ever worked with — Holli Moeini, CPA.  Holli works with dozens of my clients because in EBA - my team becomes your team!

Holli is the author of the book Find the Missing Millions in M&A, and she’s also the architect behind the financial templates we use and hand out inside EBA. You'll see Holli around on our monthly group calls and in multiple segments in our online lecture halls.

During this discussion, she drops a sobering stat:

👉 57% of small and mid-sized businesses have some level of intentional fraud occurring.

Not inefficiency.
Not mistakes.
Fraud.

She shares a real client example where she recently uncovered $400,000 per year in fraudulent activity in a company preparing to sell.  At that company’s size and trading multiple, that translated into ~$5 million of potential lost founder value at exit.

All because of missing checks and balances.  Talk about finding the missing millions!

This is exactly why Empire Builder Academy blends:
Professional, studio-shot core modules
Real, informal conversations with operators who’ve actually done the work.

Inside EBA we teach:
• How to troubleshoot real businesses
• How to build cultures that prevent problems
• How to scale without chaos
• How to improve margins
• How to use M&A as a growth accelerator
• How private equity really thinks
• How to exit and roll equity the right way

This isn’t theory.
It’s what actually happens inside companies — and how to fix it before it costs you millions.  If you want to truly build an empire, not just grow revenue,
Empire Builder Academy is the place.

Most founders don’t see the full acquisition and scale playbook until after:
• a bad deal
• an expensive mistake
• or years of trial and error

Inside the Academy, they’re seeing it before they buy, scale, or exit — with real frameworks built from $2.5B in exits and 58 acquisitions, not internet theory.

That’s why this is such an unfair advantage for operators at any stage — especially those preparing for their first acquisition.

The cohort is forming fast, and the level of operators inside already tells me this is going to be special.

If you’re serious about building, buying, or scaling in 2026, you’ll know whether this is for you.

Empire Builder Academy isn’t just a course. It’s a founder’s toolkit.

Yes—there are several hours of professionally recorded, studio-quality modules (3 cameras, full production team, me in a suit).  But that’s just the foundation.

Additional leverage comes from the deep-dive conversations—podcast-style interviews with the people who actually help build empires in the real world.

Today, I’m sharing a snippet of one with Phillip McMillan — “The Brand Whisperer" and founder of CS Brand Group.

Here’s why that matters:
• 97% of Phil’s revenue comes from private equity–backed portfolio companies
• When companies are growing fast
• When buy-and-build strategies get messy
• When multiple brands need to become one coherent story

This is the guy private equity firms call to fix it.

Brand strategy becomes a serious issue at scale—and EBA founders don’t just learn about it.  They get direct access to the experts who solve it every day.

That’s the difference.

Empire Builder Academy =
- A complete operating system for founders
- Practical frameworks from real operators
- Direct exposure to the experts PE relies on
- One place to go from startup → scale → empire

If you’re serious about building something big,
come inside the Academy where my friends become your friends.

It’s the only place you need to go—from day one to a billion-dollar outcome. 🚀
