We Never Worked Out Together Again

How I got here…

21: 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 $1.7mmo 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)
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.

Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos).

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.

Never quit,

Alex

*FULL DISCLOSURE*
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most. I want to build trust with business owners so we can find the best ones and help them scale. And if they’re awesome, write them a check and go all the way as partners.

She set a boundary, he respected it. Thats great start to a relationship

[woa]

Dude those two are the least romantic couple I’ve ever seen in my life. To each their own tho

[TwoTwoFourSix]

every time they talk about their relationship, it sounds like a transaction

[nickr]

The side eye cbum gives says it all 😂😂😂

[RomeoHatesShrimp]

Shyamalan Plot twist: this is Alex and Chris' 2nd date.

[roserodriguez]

Now that i think of it...i guess working out together is over rated

[booyakasha]

She bench pressed more than him and now he his traumatized

[Bucks]

This guy doesn’t seem like a bad person but.. something is off about him.

[turboligma]

Your arsenal of videos enlightens the path toward discovery and meaning. Your individual mindset and persistency is taken with gratitude by me.

[vinblack]

I wanna know who did cbums hair transplant!?!

[eviebernal]

I always wondered why he always wants to be in shorts and tank top because he wants to show off his body. I was thinking it was for comfort, but I think it’s more than that 😂

[kcogz]

Trained everything but forearms and calves. The end.

[theiviachine]

Probably because she wanted to train legs and he said nah

[Ban]

Persians love the gym more than any other race I've seen

[SamAmber-vz]

Bro rly thinks he’s the coolest guy on earth

[AmalgamFPV]

I know you lot respect this guy, I see him as an emotionless vessel who only cares about success, there’s more to life and love then how well your business is doing, when you die your family will remember you for being an amazing person and father, not an amazing businessman or gym owner

[justinmorieko]
