Stop Owning a Job: How Founders Build a Company That Runs — and Sells — Without Them

Our guest built his career on a brutal question every founder eventually has to face: if you stepped away for 30 days, would your business grow — or would it stall? He's a two-time 10X Performance Coach of the Year and the founder of No1 Coaching, where he installs operating systems that turn founder-led chaos into companies that run, scale, and sell without the owner glued to the controls. As Chief Data & AI Officer for the 10X Performance Coaching Program, he's also at the front edge of using AI to engineer revenue — not as a gimmick, but as leverage built into the system. Here's the twist: he learned all of it on the mat. He's the founder of Scientific Wrestling, the man who revived Catch-as-Catch-Can — the most ruthless grappling style in history — and he coaches alongside UFC legends Pat Miletich and Frank Shamrock. He takes the same principles that win on the mat — leverage, position, pressure, control — and installs them in the boardroom.
