About our guest:

Rudy Revak is a highly accomplished figure and a true Legend in the Direct Selling industry, renowned for his contributions as the Founder and Chairman of Xyngular and Owner and Chairman of Pure Haven Essentials. Rudy was a refugee born in Germany who went on to become a successful entrepreneur. Raised on a chicken farm in New Jersey, after serving in the U.S. Army and using the GI Bill for college, he was introduced to business by chance. Despite initial failures, Rudy persevered, driven by his desire not to let his parents down, especially after his father risked their family’s farm to support his business investment.

A turning point came when he began working with Bestline, where he took on leadership roles in Germany, Canada, and Italy. Mentored by motivational speaker Jim Rohn, Rudy embraced the belief that personal change leads to success. His international business ventures flourished, cementing his reputation as a leader in Direct Sales. Rudy Revak was instrumental in the acquisition and rebranding of PUREhaven in 2016. Revak is also the author of Iron String, the turbulent true story of a life affected by war.

Rudy has witnessed technological changes like the rise of the internet and Social Media, but he believes that business fundamentals remain the same. For him, it's still a people-driven industry, with technology merely enhancing communication. His story is one of resilience, seizing opportunities, and turning challenges into triumphs.
