School of Hard Knocks Podcast

He grew up shoveling cattle waste at 3 am in one of the poorest towns in America. He has since sold five companies for billions of dollars.

Comment “Blake” and I’ll DM you the full episode.

@blake_b_johnson didn’t grow up around money or business. He grew up on a cattle ranch on the California-New Mexico border, in a town with one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. A grade school principal put him on a Greyhound bus to a boarding school seven hours away, and that changed his entire trajectory.

He has since built and sold five companies. The last two went for $97 million and over a billion dollars. And he has a playbook he runs every single time.

In this conversation, Blake breaks down:

-Why he builds every company from day one with the exit already in mind
-The finite checklist that has made him a serial exit machine
-How he scaled from 100 to 500 employees during the pandemic
-Why 50% of his team moves with him from company to company
-The one thing he says every entrepreneur gets completely wrong about timing a sale

Blake Johnson keeps his word, come hell or high water. This conversation is the same.
