Founder's Story
My story of entrepreneurship started when I was a little kid. Where I was that kid, everyone joked about how I could sell ice to an Eskimo. I could tell many stories from that part of my life, but what defined my business view was my father's experiences as a business owner. See, he was an amazing craftsman and cabinet builder but was terrible as an entrepreneur. This lack of knowledge led to us being very, very poor and creating a lot of insecurities that, as an adult, I'm still overcoming. As a kid, I watched us lose multiple homes, not knowing where food was coming from, and other experiences are tough to talk about. I say all that to show you that my experience with business failure started way before I had my first company.
It also is why I'm indignantly passion about changing the failure rate in business. I have first-hand knowledge of the effects it has on families. For me, Defeat 90 is not just another business. It is the culmination of using everything I have experienced and learned through the pain of entrepreneurship to help you. Me personally, I have had over 16 companies, from truly innovative ideas like One Card, one of the first digital business cards in the world, to terrible apparel companies based on crazy ideas. Through some of my marketing companies, I have helped make businesses millions of dollars with decent exits and many other notable things... What is important to me, you understand, is the fact I have definitely had more failures than successes. These failures might make you want to leave and not engage with our content or community. Stop and think about this. All the business content and different communities mainly focus on the guru's successes. They also promote the heck out of the winners' testimonials from their programs. What about the losers? What about the failures? From a global perspective, why is the failure rate the same if all this training is so effective? I have personally seen more growth through my failures than my successes. The stats show that the age of 45 is when entrepreneurs really start being successful. The unsaid part of this study, I believe, is all the failures that led to their successes. So, being a 40-year-old as I am writing this with over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, I can say honestly that I know I'm walking into the most successful part of my life, and I want to bring you along, truly learning from the failures. Also I forgot to mention my name is Jeremy.

Parting Thought
Using the verbiage of rebellion is not a gimmick. Something has to change because the impact of business failure has on the world is crazy. So, if you want to be a part of changing the world while at the same time growing your business, you are in the right place. It's not going to be easy but anything worth doing is hard.
