I'm Bryan Cressey. I'm not famous, but I have lived a very fortunate life. I helped create companies that generate over $10B in revenue. I founded an addiction treatment center that provides free services for the homeless and poor. I co-founded four of the most successful private equity firms in America and partnered with great people to consistently achieve investment returns exceeding 20% compounded per year.
I've enjoyed many luxuries, but what gives me the most joy is helping other people become more today than they were yesterday. When your life improves, our world improves, and I love that!
I came from a middle class family and put myself through graduate school by working as a conveyor repairman and a janitor. Thousands of people helped make me who I am today. My parents, my family, my co-workers, my teachers, my neighbors. Every one of them helped me become a better person.
Now I’m paying it forward by sharing how I achieved a life filled with joy and success, so you can too!
