In this episode, I sit down with Benson Chidester — former CEO of Elite CEOs and now Director of Sales at Acquisition.com — to talk about what separates good entrepreneurs from great operators.
We go deep on the lessons he’s learned working alongside Alex and Leila Hormozi, what door-to-door sales taught him about grit, and how growing up in a strict household shaped his drive and discipline.
From risking it all to betting on yourself, Benson reveals why most people stay average — and how to break through the comfort ceiling to reach your next level.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared to take the next big leap, or unsure how to lead your team at scale — this episode is a must-watch.
