If you are still hoarding cash just to hand 40% of it over to the government at the end of the year, you are playing a losing game. Find out exactly how Jeff Bezos used this rulebook to build AWS, and find out how you can use my 0% Business Credit Stacking strategy to pull off the exact same financial heist for your own business. Read the full playbook here...

If you are tossing out clients just because their credit cards are maxed, you are leaving a fortune on the table. In this new breakdown, find out how Brian took a tapped-out chiropractor from a 640 to an 801 in 45 days. Also, find out the exact mechanics he used to secure $90k at 0% and collect two separate paydays from a single deal. Stop playing small ball.

Taking a massive W-2 salary from your first round of funding isn't a flex. It’s a tax trap that instantly vaporizes 30% of your cash.

We cover: - The HoldCo/OpCo Shield: How Branson lost the "soda war" to Coca-Cola but kept his private island. - Credit Stacking: How to extract $50k-$250k in 0% liquid capital without giving up 1% of your equity. - The Salary Trap: The "Commercial Co-Sign" strategy to buy assets through the business and keep the debt off your personal FICO score. Find out why the billionaire class relies heavily on OPM (Other People's Money) while keeping their personal tax returns looking "poor."

For those of you who couldn't make it to the Moon Room in Vegas last week... you missed a movie. We just published the official recap of Funding Machine Live 2026 on the blog. I break down the hilarious $300 "pizza tax" we had to pay the venue, the 4 major cheat codes our speakers dropped, and most importantly - the massive new tech upgrade we just rolled out to replace our old systems. If you want to know what the new AI-powered machine looks like, read the breakdown. Read the full recap here! (Make sure you scroll to the bottom of the article. I dropped a link for discounted early bird tickets to FML 2027 in Orlando. Secure your spot before the public finds out). PS Enjoy the attached pic of our team from the expansive Moon Room balcony!
