In 2006, my two co-founders, Alan Dang and Navid Norouzi, and I came up with the idea of having a lifestyle platform, filled with incredible stories and illustrated with some of the world’s most beautiful imagery, dedicated to motivating our generation.

Secret Academy Episode – Ben Newman
When Ben Newman was just 8 years old, he lost his mother to amyloidosis, a rare disease that results from an accumulation of improperly folded proteins. She left behind a journal and told her sons to continue to write her legacy even after she was gone. Ben felt anger and frustration from having his mother taken away at such a young age, but he later learned the importance of having people there for him to help get through tough times. This would come back to guide him as he transitioned into adulthood. Ben spent ten years in the insurance industry doing sales, and he was so successful and confident that companies would ask him to speak and motivate others. He enjoyed motivating people so much that he started coaching people one-on-one and eventually authored several inspirational books on maximizing results in people’s lives professionally and personally. He used his mother’s legacy to demonstrate a very important truth: our circumstances in life are much less significant than our responses to them.

Many people dream of taking their passion in life and starting their own business based off of that.

Secret Academy Episode – Mark Ferguson
Having a father in the real estate business, Mark Ferguson wanted to do something in a different field so he studied and earned his degree in finance. Unsuccessful job searches led him to join his father in the real estate business, and in 2001 he became a licensed realtor. After a few years of selling homes and also flipping houses on the side with his father, Mark became frustrated at the fact that he wasn’t making as much money as he should have been given the effort and time he was putting in. Something needed to change. He calculated that he would need to sell 100 houses a year to make what he wanted, and instead of complaining about how impossible that was, he took that as motivation to actually sell that many houses per year. Thus, he went from selling 20 homes a year to 150 homes the following year. Using the knowledge he’s learned from working alongside his father and a real estate company, Mark started investfourmore.com as a resource for people wanting to learn about the real estate business.
