I am wrapping up unit 4 today. I would like to say that the content is fantastic!!! Ryan and Codie, you have done an amazing job teaching and presenting this. I have noticed that if I start to doubt that I can do this, that disappears after working through some of the content.

The UA group has been really helpful in sharing tips and tricks and just keeping the ideas flowing. When I started the journey I didn't know what I was hoping to get out of it, but I am stoked on the value I received. I feel like it helped unlock another gear and perspective. Thanks again for creating.

We have stopped our scholarship program. We have found it difficult for people to execute at a high level when they are too worried about the funds needed to pay their bills while trying to buy a new business. If you cannot afford the course, now may not be the best time for buying a business.
The best UA users create Acqui-teams, these are small groups of 2-4 members who come together to hold each other accountable on your business journey and goals. The members who seek out these A-teams are more likely to buy their businesses and do deals together.
No. Here’s why, don’t commit to this unless you are ready to follow through. The content here is incredibly valuable but you are the most important part to the equation. Commit, engage, and learn. This isn’t for the uncommitted. xoxo.

That really depends on several things such as how targeted you are in your search, the amount of time you commit to the process, the type of financing. We have had some members complete their first deal in 30 days while other take several months.

I’m a reformed journalist, turned institutional investor to now a Partner at Entourage Effect Capital, a private equity firm w/ $200M in assets in the emerging asset class of cannabis. I left a multi-billion business I built up in Latin America to take advantage of this green emerging sector.
I’ve always worked at the intersection of media, marketing and money, finding contrarian ways to invest. I actively own and have investments into over 17 companies across asset classes and cashflow off of 7 of them that I’m actively involved in.
I played in institutional investing land at SSGA (w/ trillions under management), learned about active investing and alternatives at Goldman Sachs and was at the forefront of the ETF business with Vanguard.
I’ve led global teams in all asset classes, negotiated JV’s, bought and sold businesses, sat on boards, lost money, made money, and gotten a few degrees.
But the most fascinating part of all of it, as a former journalist, I saw the inside of how investment firms acquire wealth through M&A and business acquisition. And it’s not nearly as complex for us all to repeat as most say.
Wealth is created when you buy profits.

I’ve lived a few lives. I started out graduating in the shadows of 9/11. No jobs, no opportunities anywhere. So I did something I’ve repeated many a time, I chose myself. I went and became a rep for Cutco Knives, quickly becoming a top 10 manager with 100 people selling underneath me.
After that I wanted to continue leading and teaching so I went and became a teacher. You all know what teachers make. It ain’t a lot. Although my early success allowed me to spend time on a passion I was hungry to continue to earn.
So I moved to real estate and quickly became a leader, then an owner, then an owner and investor in multiple real estate brokerages. This was where my interest in acquiring stakes and businesses blossomed.
It’s what’s led me to writing quite a few books (a few bestsellers which is candidly a terrible way to make money but a great way to increase your deal flow and network), closing $1 Billion+ in acquisitions and traveling around the world teaching others how to do it. I have no ego in this, I sold knives door to door to get my start.
