Alex's Chick-fil-A Order

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.

Reverse order of deliciousness is the only way to consume a meal 🧠

[joshua_daniels]

A high class man, needs a high class meal, in a high class way

[rgrohith]

Signed up for the business advice stayed for the cheat meal diet plan

[ReadeMilner]

As a marketing guy, the way Alex utilizes every second of each topic, is nothing less than impressive.

[marendse]

This dude is the most chill entrepreneur I've ever seen.

[mismanagedfunds]

homies spending like $30 on a single meal at chick fil a

[MrMaxifity]

Everything this man sounds sounds completely logical and like I’m doing everything wrong

[testing]

" ..Bro we're at Wendy's..."

[anthonytmein]

I eat my food in reverse order of delicious-ness too! 😂

[BoltK]

Chick fil A is the best for fast food that’s healthy.
I get 4 spicy chicken filets (chicken without the bun) and 12 count of nuggets, its like 1200 calories and 140 grams of protein. That’s pretty much perfect.

[ZechNewman]

If chick fil a is wrong I don't want to be right.

[smugglemuffins]

I eat my meals backwards from tastiness too and I’ve never heard anyone else say that they do it but I’m glad I’m not the only smart person

[jacobygrove]

This guy is so good he can just make a video talking about what he orders at fast food restaurants and make a killing from it.

[doradebosco]

If I had your money I'd have a personal chef to make me quality food

[derriuscasey]

I get 3 12 count grilled nuggets, 2 kale crunch salads, & a sweet tea. If I’m feeling fancy I throw in a spicy and medium fry.

[anthonyyadayada]

This is exactly the uber driver I got once. Had me paying attention to the road the entire ride🤣

[deadmeatjb]

No cheese, fried tenders, grilled tenders. And here i feel insane eating a whole pizza pie

[FlarkusChunswen]

Pretty wild how many people are in total awe of a dude *describing how every stoner at Chick-Fil-A has been ordering for fifteen years* but I guess you gotta have heroes.

[BradyDoesntMiss]

Dude gets a spicy deluxe without cheese. THE PEPPER JACK, MAN COME

“Sir, I was only calling to confirm your appointment on Monday?”
