I help entrepreneurs build teams, install leadership systems, & scale revenue so they can make more & work less. Coach | Army Officer | Dad | City Councilman
Mission Ready Mastermind July 23rd and 24th!
I've been sitting on this announcement for a few weeks and I'm ready to let it out.
Mission Ready Mastermind is back — and this time it's two full days.
July 23–24 | Club Paddock | American Fork, UT
But first — I want to share why I'm doing this. Not just the event. All of it.
This year I set a mission for myself: help 100 entrepreneurs and business owners double their revenue.
Not because revenue is the point. But because of what happens when it grows.
When a business owner doubles their revenue, they get their time back. They spend more of it with their family. They have more resources to pour into their community. They give more to the causes and charities that matter to them. They volunteer. They show up differently for the people around them.
And their business? It keeps growing. It creates more jobs. It changes more lives.
That's the ripple effect I'm chasing. Every entrepreneur I help build a stronger business is a multiplier — for their family, their community, and the world around them.
This event is one of the ways I'm going to get there.

Here's why I'm doing this event specifically:
Every time I've put a room of serious business owners together, something happens that can't be replicated on a podcast, a course, or a coaching call. Someone says something that cracks a problem open. A connection gets made that turns into a partnership. A person walks in stuck and walks out with a plan.
That's what this exists for. Not content. Not entertainment. Real breakthroughs for real operators.
This year I've built the biggest lineup I've ever assembled:
🎙 Sara Allred — How to tell your stories to sell
🎙 Ryan Howard — Marketing in the AI era
🎙 Damon Burton — Brand building & SEO authority
🎙 Mandy Keene — Personality, communication & influence
🎙 Russ Warner — Building relationships that drive business
🎙 Robbie Summers — M.C.
🎙 And more being announced
We're also supporting Promise2Live — because building a great business and serving something bigger than yourself are never two separate things.
Two days. Hot seat sessions. Private VIP dinners with the speakers. A room full of people who are actually doing the work.

If you're one of the 100 — this is where it starts.
See you there. 🫡
Systems support status symbols.
Status symbols don't mean anything if you cannot actually afford to own them. The supercar means nothing if your car payment is more than your rent in a small apartment. The watch means nothing if you financed it on a credit card at 29.99% APR.
Status symbols actually mean something when you have built the systems to sustain them. When you finally reach success and can now truly enjoy the lifestyle you have worked to achieve. The cars, watches, and homes, all are symbols of your success.
What industry are you trying to master?
You can't build authority without expertise. Learn everything you can about your customer. Learn everything you can about your product.
The deeper your knowledge, the more value you can create.
I talk about leadership a lot. It is one of the core tenets of what I do, and probably one of the most consistent content pillars I have.
But one thing I do not think gets talked about enough is the relationship between leadership and fitness.
That may sound shallow at first, but I do not think it is. Your physical fitness affects your leadership capacity. It affects your energy, your confidence, your presence, your discipline, your mental clarity, and the way people perceive you when you walk into a room.
The hard truth is that no one is inspired by someone who looks like they cannot lead themselves.
That is not me trying to be mean. That is me being honest. People make judgments quickly. They notice how you carry yourself. They notice whether you look tired, sloppy, unhealthy, or undisciplined. They also notice when you look strong, capable, sharp, and prepared.
I learned this the hard way.
In 2022, I was doing military training and fell into a badger hole. In the process, I herniated a couple of discs in my lower back. At least, that is what we believe happened, because I had MRIs afterwards that confirmed herniations around L4-L5, and L5-S1.
Woof.
The pain was horrible. My lower back constantly felt strained. It felt like the muscles in my back were always trying to protect the nerves and take pressure off the injury. Sitting hurt. Standing hurt. Moving hurt. Training felt nearly impossible.
Before that, I had been powerlifting and running consistently. After the injury, I stopped lifting the way I had been lifting. I stopped running the way I had been running. But unfortunately, I kept eating like I was still training hard.
The result was predictable.
I gained about 40 pounds.
At first, I justified it. I was injured. I was busy. I was running businesses. I was serving in the military. I had a growing family. I was trying to recover. I was trying to manage pain. All of that was true, but it was also true that I was losing control of myself.
Then I started noticing something that bothered me.
When I walked into a room at my heavier weight, I did not immediately garner the same level of respect I had when I was closer to 200 pounds and in shape.
I did not understand it all at once, but I could feel it. The perception was different. The way people looked at me was different. The way conversations started was different. I did not feel like I had the same command presence.
A few months into the injury, while I was slowly trying to get better, taking anti-inflammatories, looking at cortisone injections, trying to move more, and doing whatever I could to manage the pain, I got a phone call.
It was my battalion commander.
He asked me to take command of a field artillery battery.
I knew in that exact moment that I had to get in shape. Not casually. Not eventually. I needed to get into the best shape of my life.
I could not stand in front of soldiers and talk about standards while I was failing to hold myself to one. I could not ask soldiers to be disciplined if I was not being disciplined. I could not ask people to follow me if I was not leading myself first.
So I got serious.
I counted calories. I tracked macros. I lifted heavy three times per week. I ran on the off days and pushed through the pain as intelligently as I could. I saw a chiropractor. I went to physical therapy. I got cortisone injections. I did everything I could reasonably do to get my body back under control.
Over the next several months, I noticed the perception change again.
When I walked into rooms, people looked at me differently. They approached me differently. Conversations felt different. I felt the respect that had faded when I was overweight and out of shape.
More importantly, I felt different.
I had more energy. More confidence. More clarity. More discipline. More command presence.
That is the part people miss about fitness.
Fitness is not just about looking better in a shirt. It is not just about abs, aesthetics, or vanity. Fitness is about capacity. It is about becoming harder to exhaust, harder to discourage, harder to intimidate, and harder to ignore.
If you care about being a better version of yourself, you need to get your fitness under control.
If you care about being an effective leader, you need to get your fitness under control.
If you care about your family, your business, your career, your confidence, your energy, and the way you show up in the world, you need to get your fitness under control.
I happen to know an excellent fitness coach.
She has trained soldiers and Olympians. She holds a graduate degree and is completing her doctorate in human performance and exercise science. She holds a CSCS certification, has weightlifting certifications, and has been coaching for over a decade.
More importantly, she is not a generic fitness influencer selling cookie cutter workouts on the internet.
She is a real coach. She understands performance, recovery, strength, endurance, injury history, and how to tailor training to the goals and needs of the person in front of her.
Some people need to lose weight. Some people need to get strong again. Some people need to train around old injuries. Some people need to rebuild energy and confidence. Some people simply need someone who knows what they are doing to help them stop guessing.
She recently launched a new human performance coaching program, and I would trust her with just about anyone who is serious about getting their fitness back under control.
If that is you, send me a message.
I will make a warm introduction.
Do you monetize your lifestyle?
Most entrepreneurs are looking for the next business idea. The best entrepreneurs learn how to spot value. A passion becomes a business. A skill becomes a service. An interest becomes an opportunity.
How does your business help customers after the initial purchase?
Average businesses think about the first sale. Strong operators think about the entire customer journey.
What happens next?
What support do they need?
What problem will they face six months from now?
That's how lifetime value grows.
I'm on a mission to help one hundred local entrepreneurs double their revenue this year. Let me tell you why.
It's not about the money. It never has been.
When my businesses started to succeed, something unexpected happened. I started giving more. Not because I had to. Because I finally could.
I donated to causes I cared about. I volunteered more of my time in the community. I ran for city council and won a seat to serve my neighbors. I spent more time with my family and gave them experiences that wouldn't have been possible when I was broke and grinding.
All of that good came from finding success in business. Every bit of it.
That's the ripple effect. When one entrepreneur figures it out, it doesn't just change their life. It changes their family's life. It changes their community. It changes the lives of people they'll never even meet.
Now multiply that by one hundred.
One hundred business owners making more money. One hundred families getting more time with their mom or dad. One hundred people with the capacity to donate, volunteer, coach a little league team, show up for their neighbors.
That's why I built the Mission Ready Mastermind. Not to sell tickets. To start a ripple.
And if I'm being really honest about the deepest why, it comes down to my kids. I want to show them what's possible. I want them to watch their dad grow, overcome, and serve others. I want them to see that self improvement isn't a destination. It's a daily decision to be better than you were yesterday.
We can all be better. And the pursuit of that is the whole point.
