Some people talk about business. Others build it. And then there’s Mike Fata—who sells it multiple times for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Mike went from dropping out of high school at 14 to selling his health food company twice—first for $132 million, then again for $419 million. That’s not luck. That’s execution.

The crazy part? He didn’t invent anything. He just took something good and made it better.

In this episode, Mike walks you through his journey from struggling teenager to self-made success. He breaks down how he built a business that private equity wanted to buy, the exact strategy behind selling it twice, and why timing is everything when it comes to exits.

We also get into what he's doing now, why he refuses to pass down his wealth to his kids, and what most entrepreneurs get completely wrong about scaling a business.

“I believe my success was created by giving back and never being above anyone.” ~ Mike Fata
