I only share what works, because I’ve lived through what doesn’t. Here are all my lessons for free: https://www.mynextbillion.com/ I’m an entrepreneur, investor, and operator who’s had the chance to build and exit five companies across multiple industries. But if I’m honest, the losses taught me way more than the wins ever did. Today, I serve as the President and Managing Partner at Acquisition.com, working closely with Leila and Alex Hormozi to help founders build extraordinary businesses. Over the years, I’ve helped build two billion-dollar companies. • Most recently, I was President at Real (NASDAQ: REAX), the fastest-growing publicly traded real estate brokerage in the world. • Before that, I scaled Teles Properties 10x in five years and led its sale to Douglas Elliman (NYSE: DOUG). • I started out at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse and have since advised and invested in companies across real estate, SaaS, and services. Outside of that, I run the 5AM Club, a global movement focused on morning discipline, and host the Business School Podcast, where I share simple, tactical playbooks for founders and operators who want to grow with more intention and less chaos. Everything I build is for the underdog. The overlooked founder. The scrappy operator. The person who wants to work hard, be kind and make more money. If you are building a business or leading a team, check out my substack where I’m documenting the systems and lessons we’re using to build our 3rd billion-dollar company. Everything is 100% free. https://www.mynextbillion.com/
