Hey, I'm Ben!

I build, buy, and invest in businesses.

I've had 2 successful exits. Way more failures.

I send one action packed email a week called a 1x1x1 covering crazy cool businesses I spot, updates on what we're building and buying, and lessons from the journey of an entrepreneur.

Ben's 1x1x1 - I've got nothing - May 1, 2026 🚀

For those of you that are new here, every week I send what I call a 1x1x1.

One thought from my week.
One interesting find/tool from my week.
One image from my life.

Let's dive in 👇

Thought from the week

I’ve been working on my steak game after getting some advice from the top steakhouse in Bend.

And by “working on it,” I mean aggressively overthinking every step like it’s a NASA launch.

Salt timing? Critical.

Pan temperature? Life or death.

Butter basting? Spiritual experience.

But… I think we’ve got a breakthrough.

This might be my best one yet.

Crispy crust.

Juicy inside.

Confidence at an all-time high.

Am I now qualified to open a steakhouse?

Absolutely not.

Will I act like I am this weekend?

Also yes.

See you all next week!
