Kyle Gray was working as a Study Abroad advisor at the University of Utah. It was a decent job, but he had a dream I wanted to fulfill.
He had heard about people building personal brands and small businesses online. These businesses let them travel the world and work at the same time, and it was something he wanted for himself.
After spending 2 years as an advisor he knew how the university worked, and he wanted to learn about starting a business. So he took on a few student jobs and too on an interdisciplinary degree that offered flexible course options and the ability to customize it.
He used his knowledge as an advisor of the resources available to students to invite speakers to the university to build his network. He also did much of the early research and skill building for his business by leveraging the title of “Student” and calling up businesses mentioning he was a student doing research and wanted to learn more about them.
He came across the Foundry in his final year, and was connected with a group of students that all had similar goals. They were able to help each other grow their businesses, connect with the community of entrepreneurs in SLC, and work together to build their brands.
Upon graduating he had a business and was actually hired to teach at the Foundry for a few months, before he traveled to Asia and started working with another startup called WP Curve.

Travis Dillard hasn't lived out of a car, begged for money or eaten garbage scraps, In fact, he was very blessed with a supportive family and a great education. That being said…
It made it very easy to just let life pass hum by. After all, everything was “okay”.
Right?
Well, this road to mediocrity eventually led him to a dark place. He was skinny, yet fat in all the wrong places. You know, the type with frail looking legs but a soft, pudgy upper body. The guy who was too embarrassed to take his shirt off at the pool. Yep, that was him.
Given the way he looked and felt about himself, he was lost, insecure and anxious about his future.
Even worse, he was tired, out of shape, and lacked any real focus.
The Turning Point
A long story short, he made a drastic change to force himself in the right direction…he got in shape and started a business.
Travis' MISSION: HE WANTS TO SEE OTHER ENTREPRENEURS FOLLOW WHAT WORKED FOR HIM.
Was the change easy? No. Was it SIMPLE? Yes. After becoming obsessed with personal development and finding success as a entrepreneur, Travis began to see the missing link in most people’s journey to better health and a better body. He found that high achievers who recognize health as the most important resource in their business, relationships and in life do not have a problem losing the weight. They struggle to keep it off. He's spoken with hundreds of well-seasoned, financially successful business owners who are aware of the changes that need to be made, and WANT balance, but lack structure, and let their business control them.

About Ryan

Harry Campbell started the Rideshareguy.com started in 2014, he was a full time aerospace engineer and part-time Uber, Lyft and Sidecar driver. He actually discovered rideshare as a passenger back in 2012 but it wasn’t until he moved from San Diego up to Orange County that he decided to give it a try as a driver.
He started driving for Lyft and Uber in early 2014 because it sounded like a fun, flexible way to earn extra income. Some people found it odd that he was driving in his spare time since he had a good career as an engineer but he had always been a huge fan of diversifying your income.
It’s easy to get complacent working the same job day in and day out but when you’re working for someone else, you’re never really in control of your own destiny, no matter how safe you might feel. And that’s what he liked so much about being a rideshare driver.
You’ve probably heard the cliche radio ads that say “Be Your Own Boss” and “Set Your Own Hours” but the funny thing is that being a rideshare driver really is a lot like running your own mini-business. And as any business owner can tell you, running a business is very rewarding but it’s also a lot of work and there are a ton of challenges that you will face.
He quickly realized that there’s actually a lot more to driving than just getting people safely from Point A to Point B. After his first weekend of driving, he sat down at his computer and started looking for blogs, resources or online communities of rideshare drivers. He was shocked at the lack of what he found. There was nothing other than a few Facebook groups that had a bunch of newbies like myself asking all the same questions!
After a week or so of hopelessly searching for information, he decided to take matters into his own hands and The Rideshare Guy was born. He knew that there were lots of drivers with the same questions he had and he figured that if he could provide an authoritative resource with good information, he would be able to help out a few of his fellow drivers. But he had no idea just how many people needed help!

Andrew O'Brien is the founder of the media company, Patefactus. He began his career as a public speaker in 2013. He had no clue about how to run a business or how to get on media. 3 short years later, he has become the most requested speaker in his field and has traveled all over the world speaking. He have made well over 6 figures, on his way to 7. This is all thanks to his media exposure. Without all of the media he received, he wouldn't be where he is today. Andrew has been featured on over 70 media stations around the world. Before being featured on so much media, he was only charging $2,000 per speaking engagement (that included travel and lodging in that fee.)
Exactly one year later... His fee increased to $5,000 plus travel and lodging. The best part... he was not only charging more, but he was getting more clients. Andrew did all of this without spending a dime on a PR firm or agency. After so much media coverage, he started to learn more about the industry and came up with his own ways of getting more coverage. Now, Mr. O'Brien doesn't have to reach out to media any longer on that side of business. It has gotten to the point where high-scale media is contacting him instead. This is what he teaches. Andrew teach individuals how to get to the point that high scale media is chasing, instead of you chasing them.

Long before he was an internet personality, he was the owner of Strength Camp Gym. His only purpose in creating video content, was to promote and sell memberships to his gym.
On a dare from a friend, Elliott turned ads on his YouTube channel, and created an income of $10,000 in his first month. From there, he pushed down the gas, and went from making a video when he felt like, to one everyday. Elliott structured his videos in question and answer format, and made it his mission to answer questions in the most creative way he could find; a true artist.
More than being just a YouTube video creator, Elliott is a true student of philosophy; putting what he reads into action. He then forwards that information to his viewers, creating true inspiration in a metaphorical verse.

Taylor is an entrepreneur and author of The End of Jobs . Inc.com rated The End of Jobs one of the Top Three ‘Start Your Own Business’ Books of 2015 and a Top 25 Business Book of 2015. WSJ Bestselling Author and Entrepreneur James Altucher said of it:
“Entrepreneurship is not a choice you can make at your leisure. You have to jump on the train or lose your chance. Now is the time and Taylor’s book describes exactly how to do it.”
Taylor believes that the economy is changing rapidly, but when the future looks back on the 20th century, it will be an anomaly. Entrepreneurship is becoming more attainable and almost a better choice than getting a job. Its in interesting viewpoint; you build a resume so that you can beg for a job. Rather, you can truly create something for yourself, and in this new economy, we will see the true return of the craftsman economy.
A former Brazilian Super Bowl champion, Taylor has lived in Argentina, Brazil, Vietnam and Thailand.

Hung handled his problem but was in 50k worth of debt. It was too much to save his way out, and he had to get creative. Started online digital marketing, for dentists, took a lot courses online would sell services to implement learning how to do it, moved back home, paid off 50k in 3 years!
