Proof that \"You Can Just Do Things
Tweet · Feb 07, 2026
I just talked to a guy that went from high school math teacher to building an equipment empire.
His goal -- $100M company.
You’re going to see more of this guy in the near future, but I had the privilege of interviewing him the other day.
He’s awesome! And has an incredible story.
Here are the CliffNotes:
(for any gen z followers, CliffNotes was a thing we had to use to summarize books we didn’t have time to read and write a report on)
He bought a couch on Facebook and flipped it. The lightbulb went off
Moved up the ladder to washers and dryers
Then went to mowers
Bought 30 and flipped 30 in one summer and was making more than being a teacher
Then found a trailer and made $3k in 3 weeks
He bought some property with a barn and upped his game even more
He now has 10 people working for him, he left his teaching job and is on his way to building a $100M equipment empire.
He takes consulting calls for $500/hr
He had ZERO experience prior.
You can just do things.
