The Story
"Life will always throw curveballs. Every single one is meant to prepare you for the homerun.
Jeff McClain has been building businesses for over 30 years. With more than a dozen startups across construction, franchising, media, and consumer brands, he's experienced every side of entrepreneurship — the wins, the losses, and everything in between.
Coming from a broken family in Los Angeles, nothing came easy. Jeff built his philosophy around a simple principle: Meek not Weak. You can be strong and confident without being cruel or arrogant. You can take hard hits and still move forward with faith and purpose.
Today Jeff runs several companies collectively generating $50M+ in annual revenue, hosts a growing podcast, coaches executives and operators, and mentors blue collar entrepreneurs across the country.
