Hey, I'm Ben!
I build, buy, and invest in businesses.
I've had 2 successful exits. Way more failures.
I write about building Freedom Companies to achieve what I call the three freedoms:
A life of financial freedom.
A life of time freedom.
A life of creative freedom.
I send one action packed email a week called a 1x1x1 where I write about businesses and people that I think are inspirational when it comes to creating freedom in their lives, or updates on the businesses we're building and buying.
This newsletter is the highlight of my week and I hope I can inspire and guide you to building your own freedom company.

For those of you that are new here, every week I send what I call a 1x1x1.
One learning or interesting item from my week.
One interesting item/tool of the week.
One image from my life.
Let's dive in 👇
It takes one great client to make a killer business.
With Pono Ventures, we have a few irons in the fire. One thing that I’ve noticed as we build a handful of companies is that one great client can be the tipping point.
We had this at our last company WeHero when Adobe signed on as a client. They were the client that not only kept giving us great business but also were a huge ambassador for our brand.
Finding these clients takes three things:
1. Providing as much value as you can to your early clients.
2. Timing - The patient game of working really hard until that right client shows up.
3. Luck.
I’m in Hawaii this week doing a quick baby moon with my wife. My favorite tool of the week is Surfline. Not only is it amazing how thorough this app is for surf reports, the UI/UX of this app is world class.
My wife and I got one last bit of travel in this week before our baby girl comes.
