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 can be in a bad mood for no reason... 


You might as well be in a good mood for no reason. 


Being easy to work with and being in a good mood is such an underrated skill that employees/managers/leaders don't think about enough.

You feel behind because you’re in a rush. 
You’re in a rush because you feel behind. 
You feel behind because you're in a different season than the people you're comparing yourself to. 

You're not behind. 
You're just early.
You're on your own timeline.

Good friends, don't ask for "friends & family" discounts. 

They support their friends who own a business by buying the product at full price, leaving a review, and talking to their other friends circles about it. 

If you want to support an entrepreneur... buy their "thing" and tell people about it.

You don't need a mentor.
What you need instead is to:


1. Fire yourself up.
2. Create your own deadlines.
3. Hold yourself accountable.
4. Do more than anyone asked you to make yourself proud.
5. If you're waiting for someone to believe in you, start with yourself.

Everything that was once hard.
With enough repetition.
Becomes boring.

People underestimate how much brute force you have to use to will your goals into existence.

Reality and perspective check.

 
Also... the platforms you get 300 views on are free.


You don't need millions of views. You need the right views aka the right customers.

Your 9 to 5 is not killing your dreams. 
You wasting your 5 to 9 is. 

Best job to have when going after your dreams is the one where you get 129 days a year off to pursue your dreams with full-time pay. Oh yeah, that’s every 9-5 job. Analyze every minute of your life outside of your 9-5 and see where your energy is going. THAT will determine and show you how much your actions are matching your aspirations.

your 9 to 5

Beating 99% of people is simple but not easy.



1. Show up early. 
2. Prepare the day before. 
3. Remember everyone's name. 
4. Say no to opportunities that don't bring value. 
5. Follow up quickly. 
6. Follow up multiple times. 
7. Deliver value at every interaction. 
8. Never make the same mistake twice. 



It's all about doing the basics at scale consistently that makes you advanced. There is no magic potion.

Richer people won't judge you for saving your money.
Fitter people won't judge you for cutting your calories. 
Higher-status people won't judge you for being obsessed over your goals. 

It's the people who are going nowhere who have the most to say because they have nothing to do. Never let unaccomplished people, judge your accomplishments.

The difference between $100,000 a day vs $100,000 a year. 
It is simpler than you think. 

People who make six figures a day are willing to: 

1. Look stupid no matter what anyone else thinks. 
2. Take risks that not many are willing to take. 
3. Outreach and ask an unlimited amount of people to get what they want. 

I'm convinced that the first principle of building wealth is disregarding the opinions of others who don't have "it" but telling you that you're doing it wrong. The difference is simple, not easy.

There is only one thing in life that is 100x worse than your enemies. 


By far, bad friends are 100x more dangerous than enemies. Not even close. 


It's better to be alone than to be around people who secretly hope you fail.

One year from now you won't remember:  



Who got the fanciest car. 
How good your junk food was. 
Who won the football game. 
What you talked about at the club. 

But you will remember what it was like to not hit your goals... again.

The fastest way to become successful: 



Associate with people more successful than you. This results in some of the fastest learning and behavior change you can experience.

The problem is... they will not want anything to do with you. So you have to find ONE thing you're more successful than them at, and give that thing freely. Not at cost. Not tit for tat. Freely. Without expectation. 

It's an unspoken code of people who are "higher up" - they're almost all givers. The easiest way to see someone who is "out of place" is to spot the taker. Spot the person always angling. 

Anyways once you do actually provide value (help them do something good they couldn't do before or help them avoid something bad they used to have to deal with, or get the same outcome they're used to faster or cheaper)... they'll let you hang around. 

Then you learn as much as you possibly can and try and be the best in that group at. When that happens they'll see you as a leader. You won't even have to say it. The power dynamics will just shift.

The whole point of marketing is one thing: 


To gain trust. Because once someone trusts you, you don’t need to do anything else besides keep it.

Wives and husbands are a dime a dozen but a true partner is worth their weight in gold.

A real estate agent asked how to 4X her business. 
She makes $13,000 per hour on Facebook live. 

Here is her backstory: 
- She is a full time real estate agent. 
- On track to sell $25M in houses this year. 
- Her main channel to get leads is referral and Facebook lives. 
- She goes live a couple times on Facebook each month. 
- She sold $10M worth of houses directly from Facebook live. 
- That's roughly $13,000 per hour on Facebook live stream. 

Guess what I told her... increase your live schedule. Go live on Facebook 5 times a week. People love overcomplicating scaling. 

Find what works.
Do more of what works.
Find the thing preventing you from doing more of what works.
Solve it.
Do more of what works.
Repeat.

Research leader @ Mayo Clinic | Follow me for insights on habits, productivity, and self-actualization | On a mission to normalize health

70% of American adults are overweight or obese. 
40% of cancers are preventable. 
72% of adults report health impacts due to stress.

I've worked with 300+ cancer patients as a health and wellness coach at the Mayo Clinic. 
And I've noticed a few things during this time:

-No one wants to be unhealthy
-Medications and procedures can keep you alive
-But it's lifestyle change that will help you build resilient health

And there's an unfortunate misconception out there that health is difficult to build. 
That "exercise" = self-imposed suffering
That "healthy foods" = kale smoothies
That joint pain is normal. 

But if you've got a demanding professional life, you need to implement low-friction habits and routines to preserve your health. 90 minutes at the gym 5x/week is not an option. 

This is the stuff I help people with. 
Simple health that will last a lifetime. 
So you can back to  your mission. 

Over the course of 12 weeks, we’ll develop habits and routines that will help you lose the weight, dissolve the stress, and reclaim your health. 
Should we talk?

Had a "New Year's Resolution" conversation today. 
Raised a few questions. 

If you're...

Overweight.
Stressed out.
Struggling to sleep.

And looking at the calendar, deciding what kind of resolution you want to make come the New Year.
Wondering if, before the New Year, the holidays are just going to make all these problems even worse...

Is there anything you could do today to set yourself up for success come January 1?
Does improving your life have to wait until the calendar reads "2026"?

Care to have a conversation? 
I'm crowdsourcing some wisdom gathering.
5 minute interview on 1-3 things you can do in the final 6 weeks of 2025 to make sure you hit the ground running in 2026. 
Send a DM and we'll find a time. 

Or maybe you'd prefer to share your thoughts in the comments?

Overdid it on Thanksgiving stuffing?

7 ways to lose 1 pound this week: 

1. Walk additional 7000 steps/day
2. Skip dessert every day for the next week
3. Don’t eat for 1 whole day (ask your doctor)
4. Don’t drink anything for 1 whole day (not recommended!)
5. Replace Coke with Olipop
6. Replace 2 beers after work with a walk
7. Turn every “touchpoint” into a walking meeting

Is there one in here that might work for you?
Or something that didn’t make the list that might be your ticket to 1 pound?

Doctor (or spouse?!) told you you’d do well to lose a pound this week?
Send a DM.

Rules, rules, rules!
Yuck.

Sleep 8 hours/night. 

But why, then, are there nights when you sleep for 5 hours and feel great?
Or others when you sleep for 9 hours and feel like you got hit by a train?

Drink 3 Liters of water/day. 

But what if you’re not thirsty?
Why would you drink water if you’re not thirsty?
If you’re eating a whole foods diet, do you need to drink the same amount of water as if you were eating a diet full of processed foods?

Eat 2,000 calories per day. 

What if you’re a super athlete?
What if you have a sedentary job?
Spent the day traveling?
What foods should make up these 2,000 calories anyway?

Who makes these rules?
Are they working?

Want to figure out what works for you?
DMs are open.

Talked to a CEO + founder client this afternoon. He called to say thanks. His people are losing weight, more productive, happier, less stressed. 

I reminded him that he’s the one who connected his people with their health guy. And he’s good at picking high-potential people. 

His sales guy was expecting to have a down quarter (“Q4 is always slow”). He’s on track to have his second-best month in the 5 years he’s been at the company. What happened?

“I’ve got more energy so I’ve been reaching out to prospects more.”
 
I asked the founder why he invested in this kind of support for his people. What sort of ROI was he hoping to see?

His answer, “Not really worried about ROI. Not everyone has access to this kind of thing and I figured it could help them.”

Can doing the right thing for your people really help your bottom line???

Client texted today to cancel this afternoon’s call. She’s sick, Thanksgiving is coming, the works. 

No sweat. Same day + time next week? 

Yep. 

I went to change the calendar invite immediately. 
Client had already sent a new invitation with updated day and time. 

What if we all operated like this client?
Wouldn’t the world be a better place?

Impact vs intent. 
Righting reflex. 
Don't ruin Christmas dinner!

3 things I heard this week: 

-"I'm walking 12,000 steps/day."
-"My clothes aren't so tight anymore!"
-"My girlfriend told me she's proud of the progress I'm making."

You have the support you need to get where you want to go?
Going to lone wolf it? 
Got a plan?

Say you lose 10 pounds by 12/31/2025...who's the first person to notice?
