Talk Year:

John St.Pierre spent 15 years building a company to $55M in global revenue. Then he lost it all. The next morning, he realized something far worse than losing a company: he had lost his identity. His business had a long-term plan, but he didn’t. Why had he never taken the time to intentionally design his life? A 30-year life plan changed everything.

John St.Pierre is an entrepreneur, investor, and the author of The 100 Million Dollar Journey. After losing the company he had built to $55M, he rebuilt, patiently and deliberately, a portfolio of companies that today generate more than $100 million in revenue. He is the co-host of the Entrepreneurs United podcast and coaches founders scaling to $100M who feel caught between growing a business and building a life. He calls that discipline “Patient Ambition”: a life designed in decades that shapes the decisions you make every day.
