I used to be depressed, broke, and anxious.

At 18, I was kicked out of my home, was $30k in debt, and didn’t know what to do with my life.

Now, I only work 4 hours per day, travel the world, and make $1.1 million every month.

Here’s the one realization that turned my life around:Image
At 22, I was working 15-hour days running a coding bootcamp. I thought I had it figured out as an entrepreneur.

I believed in the hustle, the grind, the "no days off" mantra.

No control. No freedom. Just endless working.

But I had it all wrong. Image
I was burning the candle at both ends.

On the outside, I looked like a success. On the inside, I was crumbling.

I knew there had to be a better way…
It all changed with one realization: A personal brand gives you infinite leverage.

I thought about it…

With enough consistency, grit, and systems, I could create a business that runs on autopilot.

So that’s what I did. Image
I built a personal media company around myself.

Every post, tweet, and video was a broadcast of my brand.

I built a personal brand that resonated deeply with my audience, creating trust and authority. Image
Fast forward to today, I:

• Travel the world
• Work 4 hours a day
• Make $13.8M a year
• Have total control over my time

This is what true freedom is. Image
My journey here wasn't a smooth ride though.

It was a rollercoaster of setbacks and breakthroughs. There were moments I wanted to quit. To give up on the entrepreneur's dream.

But something kept me going. A fire in my belly. A mission that wouldn't let me rest. Image
That mission? To help 100 million founders achieve their dreams.

It became my obsession. My reason for pushing through the tough times.

And from that obsession, Founder OS was born. Image
Founder OS isn't just another course or program.

It's the distillation of everything I've learned. Every hard-won lesson.

Every late night. Every failed experiment. Every eureka moment.

All compressed into a system that turns founders into forces of nature.
At the heart of Founder OS is the Organic Content Funnel.

It's the engine that drove my success. And now, it can drive yours.

Imagine a system so powerful, it turns your expertise into a 24/7 lead generation machine.

No paid ads. No cold outreach. Just you, being authentically you.
Here's the high level:

1. Rented Audience: Captivate attention on social media
2. Owned Audience: Nurture them through your email list
3. Monetized Audience: Transform them into eager buyers

Each piece of content you create moves people through this funnel. Image
And to optimize this funnel, you need the Organic Triad:

• Beautiful content that stops the scroll
• Systemized processes that save you time
• Hyper-profitable strategies that pad your bank account

Master this trifecta, and you'll build a brand that prints money while you sleep.
We've designed Founder OS to meet you wherever you are on your journey:

• OS: The foundational system for emerging entrepreneurs
• OS+: Advanced strategies for seasoned founders
• OS100: VIP access and mentorship for those ready to dominate

It's not about where you start. It's about where you're going.Image
But Founder OS isn't just about making money.

It's about freedom. Control. Living life on your terms.

It's about mastering the 4 Ws:

• What you work on
• Who you work with
• Where you work
• When you work

This isn't just a business. It's a lifestyle revolution. Image
Imagine waking up excited every single day.

Working on projects that light you up. Surrounded by A-players who share your vision.

From a beach in the Maldives or in the middle of nowhere in Mexico.

This isn't a pipe dream. It's my daily reality. And it can be yours too.
Through blood, sweat, and more than a few tears, we've built something extraordinary:

• An audience of 2M+ engaged founders
• A community of 1000+ relentless entrepreneurs
• A system that turns expertise into empires

All powered by proven systems that drive real, tangible results.
Don't just take my word for it. Listen to Zach Murray, one of our members:

“I’ve grown my revenue by 3.5x in the last 60 days.”

​​And he’s not the only one… Image
Look at Rob Hoffman.

Who closed 100k in new contracts since joining Founder OS: Image
Speaking of successes: My own journey has been a series of quantum leaps.

• From drowning in debt to multiple 8-figure businesses.
• From 80-hour weeks to 4-hour workdays.
• From struggling entrepreneur to mentor and guide.

Each leap powered by the very systems I now teach.
These systems didn't just change my business. They transformed my life.

• They simplified my content creation.
• Automated my lead generation.
• Turned my expertise into a thriving empire.

Now, I'm not just successful. I'm fulfilled. And I want the same for you. Image
This is your invitation.

This is Founder OS. And we're just getting started. Image

How to work 4 hours a day (and remove yourself from operations):
Most founders are trapped in their own businesses.

I was checking Slack at 6 AM, answering emails at midnight, and attending 47 meetings per week.

Making $375,000 per month but feeling like I owned a job, not a business. Image
The Founder Trap

You think you're building a company.

You're actually building a prison.

Every decision flows through you.

Every problem lands on your desk.

Every fire becomes your emergency.

Your business doesn't run without you.

It runs because of you. Image

How to scale smart (without hiring a big team or agency):
The Big Team Trap

Most founders fall into this pattern:

Problems arise → hire more people

Revenue grows → hire more people

Complexity increases → hire even more people

Soon you're managing 50 people instead of building a business.

You become a full-time manager, not a creator.Image
The AI Revolution Changes Everything

I'm trying to replace as many humans with AI as possible.

That might sound harsh, but it's actually liberating.

AI handles:

• Writing and copywriting (6x faster)
• Operations and SOPs (7x more productive) Image

How to monetize your expertise (without selling your soul):
The Expertise Paradox

Most experts are broke.

They have incredible knowledge but no system to monetize it.

Meanwhile, mediocre people with systems make millions.

Knowledge without systems is just expensive hobbies. Image
My Expertise Transformation Story

2017: Built my first system, hit $5,000/month

2021: Systemized everything, reached $150,000/month

2024: Founder OS generates $464,000/month

Same expertise. Different systems. Image

How I replaced 15 employees with AI (and increased revenue 200%):
The Great Reset Is Here

Traditional jobs are disappearing faster than new ones are being created.

But AI isn't your enemy.

It's your greatest opportunity.

The founders who win are the ones who use AI to build, not fear it. Image
My AI Transformation Story

18 months ago, I had a team of 40 people.

Today, I have 25 people generating 200% more revenue.

What changed? I replaced humans with AI in these roles:

• Copywriter
• Offer Strategist
• Executive Assistant
• Email Sequence Writer

AI doesn't replace humans. It replaces human tasks.Image

How to build a profitable personal brand (in just 30 days):
The Old Game Is Dead

Stop playing by outdated rules:

• Paying for ads → Diminishing returns
• Chasing algorithms → Constant anxiety
• Hiring PR firms → Speaking someone else's words
• Press features → Temporary spikes
• Networking events → Surface-level connections

The new game: Become the media company.Image
You = The Media Company

Most founders still don't get it:

• Media companies own their distribution
• Media companies control their narrative
• Media companies create intellectual property
• Media companies build loyal audiences
• Media companies monetize attention

Stop acting like a guest on someone else's platform.Image

I make $1.1M per month while taking 4-day weekends.

Here's how to build a business that runs without you:
Systems > Hustle

Most founders are stuck working IN their business instead of ON it.

They chase growth through brute force when they should be building systems.

The simple truth:

• You don't need to work harder
• You don't need more hours
• You don't need more motivation

You need systems that run without you.

The difference between a job and a business is whether it works when you don't.
The AED Framework

This is the exact system I use to remove myself from operations:

• AUTOMATE what's repetitive
• ELIMINATE what's unnecessary
• DELEGATE what's not in your zone of genius

When something lands on your plate, run it through this filter immediately.

Your most valuable resource isn't money, it's your attention.Image
