  2. Events & Community - We help business buyers and builders with live workshops, weekly calls, and annual events around the country. We have two types of communities: 1) For Buyers - a vetted community of buyers who utilize our campus, curriculum, and advisors to buy or invest in businesses, and 2) For Builders - a community and events where we help builders use our proven scaling systems, advisors, and curriculum to grow profitable, enduring businesses.
  3. Media & Content - We aim to be the biggest and most trusted business media company in the world - through podcasts, YouTube, books, and online education. We aim to make business and finance content better than any University degree.

  3. How you do anything, is how you do everything.
  4. We do the dirty work.
  5. Your word is your contract.

  10. Assumptions are for assholes. Find the truth.
  11. Less words, more meaning.
  12. Even our notes are worth stealing. Make every creation a mini-masterpiece.
  13. Show me your results, not your intentions.
