Hi, I’m Ben. Army veteran, ex-JP Morgan banker, dad of 4, and I currently own 8 boring businesses.

In 2021 I was working 60+ hour weeks at JP Morgan. I was making $150k a year, playing office politics and missing time with my family.

Then I discovered business acquisition: buying profitable small businesses from baby boomers who are retiring with nobody to take over.

I bought my first one, a nail salon in Arizona, for $0 out of pocket using an SBA loan and an investor. It paid me $5k a month while I kept my job.

Today my businesses generated $900k in 2025, I work about 20 hours a week, and I never miss a moment with my wife and kids.

I share everything I’ve learned here... finding deals, the financing, hiring GMs, and the mistakes to avoid.

Hope you’ll find value on my page.

When my first kid was born I made a promise I’d never say out loud. That by the time they were grown, they’d never have to start from zero the way I did.

Most parents open a 529 or a savings account and hope compound interest does the work. There’s nothing wrong with that. But at J.P. Morgan I watched the wealthiest families do something completely different. They didn’t save for their kids. They built for them.

They bought businesses, put them inside trusts, and let the cash flow compound for decades. By the time the kid turned 21, they weren’t inheriting a check. They were inheriting an income stream.

So Ashley and I copied them.

The structure isn’t complicated. A trust owns a holding company. The holding company owns the business. The business runs itself with a manager. And every year, your kid can work inside it earning up to $16,100 tax-free while you write off every dollar.

Put $7,500/year of that into a custodial Roth IRA and by 18 they’ve got roughly $90k sitting there. The business itself has been paying off its own loan the entire time. By 21, it’s worth $800k+ and has generated over $3M in total cash flow.

No inheritance tax drama. No probate. Protected from lawsuits and divorce. And the trust controls how the money gets distributed so a 21-year-old can’t blow it all in a weekend.

This is how generational wealth actually gets built. Not by earning more. By owning something that outlives you.

Our friends thought I lost my job. My neighbors definitely did. I was home at 2pm on a Tuesday in a hoodie picking up my kids from school. That’s not what “success” looks like to most people.

But the truth is I didn’t get fired. I just stopped being the guy who makes rich people richer and became the guy who copies what they do.

At J.P. Morgan I had a front-row seat to how real wealth gets built. And it wasn’t stock picks or crypto or grinding 80 hours a week. It was boring. Wealthy clients would walk into the bank, borrow millions, buy a profitable business from a retiring owner, hire a manager, and collect the cash flow. Rinse and repeat.

The part that changed my life was realizing you don’t need to be wealthy to do this. The SBA 7(a) loan is backed by the U.S. government. Any bank will give it to you if the deal makes sense. They just don’t advertise it.

I bought my first business for $0 out of pocket. Cash flowed $5k/month without stepping foot inside. Bought a second. Then a third. Only quit my W-2 when the businesses were paying me more than J.P. Morgan ever did. I wasn’t going to gamble with my family’s security.

Today I own 8 that pay me close to $1M/year on 20 hours a week. And the window for this is wide open. Until 2036, 10,000 boomers are retiring every single day. Many of them own businesses that will shut down forever if nobody buys them.
