ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Jeremy helps aspiring business owners take the next step by turning ideas and ambition into real ownership.

As Co-Founder and CEO of Guidant Financial, he has helped more than 30,000 people become business owners. Through this work—and his own experience co-founding startups, acquiring companies, and owning franchises—Jeremy has gained a front-row view of both the patterns that lead to success and the pitfalls that hold entrepreneurs back.

This unique perspective has shaped his understanding of what truly makes ownership work. Today, he shares these insights, along with lessons learned from others on the same journey, to help future owners gain the clarity and confidence needed to move forward with conviction.

Because when there’s something to lose, conviction can’t be built on wishful thinking—it must be grounded in preparation. For those ready to move from considering ownership to actively exploring it, Jeremy is committed to helping guide the way.
