Over the past two decades I’ve led 3 multi-million dollar companies. Including Quest Nutrition which sold for a billion dollars. In 2010, I hit rock bottom. I was the Chief Marketing Officer at a tech company just named the 42nd fastest-growing in North America. We were making money and winning awards, but I hadn’t taken a day off — except for Christmas — in six and a half years. I was miserable. So, I walked away from my high-paying job. Gave back my equity. I went to my partners and quit. But it turned out that they were miserable too. We started Quest Nutrition fueled by a desire to solve meaningful problems. Not just make money. We asked ourselves a different question: “What would we do and love every day, even if we were failing?” That question changed everything. In just a few years, Quest grew from zero to a billion-dollar valuation. Inc. Magazine named us the 2nd fastest growing company in North America. With the sale of Quest, I could have retired to my own private island. But I’d be bored by that in a week. So, I started Impact Theory, a media company using storytelling to empower people to realize their full potential. As CEO, my mission is to help people across the globe adopt the mindset they need to achieve all their goals. My results: → $1B sale of Quest Nutrition → 4M+ YouTube subscribers → 500M+ content views → 17,932+ Impact Theory University students → 100K+ email subscribers Want to learn how I did all of this?

Beautiful.ai AI-powered pitch decks that actually look good. No design skills needed. The playing field has completely changed. A single founder with this AI stack can move as fast as a Series A startup did just 5 years ago. But there's a catch. These tools amplify execution speed, not thinking quality. When I mentor founders, I see this mistake constantly: They obsess over which AI tools to use BEFORE validating if their business idea is actually worth building. They create perfect websites for products no one wants. They write flawless email sequences for non-existent customers. They design beautiful pitch decks for businesses with fatal flaws. The tools aren't the bottleneck. Your business hypothesis is. AI gives you the power to test 10 business ideas in the time it used to take to test one. So why are you still betting everything on your first idea? Tools don't build successful businesses. Systems do. Want to launch faster, smarter, and with total clarity? Come to my free masterclass next week. I’ll walk you through the AI system that actually works: https://buff.ly/bYo8Lm5
I built a $1B company before modern AI existed. If I did it again today, I'd do everything differently. Here are 7 brutal AI lessons for entrepreneurs just starting out: 1. Ideas mean nothing now. AI can generate 100 business ideas in seconds. Execution and validation are everything. 2. Speed beats perfection. While you perfect your product, someone with AI is testing 10 different versions. Months of work now happen in days. 3. Market research as we know it is dead. The old way: surveys, focus groups, months of data. The AI way: instant data analysis, real-time customer insights, immediate testing. 4. Small teams win. A founder with AI can outperform traditional 10-person teams. Big overhead is a death sentence. 5. Niche expertise is table stakes. AI handles general knowledge. Deep specialized expertise is your only moat. 6. Think execution, not information. Information is free. Execution frameworks are gold. 7. Customer acquisition is the new battlefield. AI gives everyone good products. The winners control customer access. Two types of entrepreneurs will emerge: 1. Those who use AI as a tool. 2. Those who build entire business models around it. The second group will win. Every time. Most founders think adding ChatGPT to their workflow is enough. It's not. You need a complete system for turning ideas into AI-powered businesses. From day one. Wondering if your business idea will actually work? Need a step-by-step plan to test it before wasting time and money? Get my free Zero to Launch GPT. This CustomGPT is built on the exact framework I use to validate ideas and launch businesses in record time: https://buff.ly/xblWLgY Reply with your feedback, so we can make this free tool even better by updatign tis documentation!
