This person is no ordinary individual. Hailing from small-town, New York, no one could’ve guessed that what started for him as a love for online poker would eventually evolve into a behemoth of a business.

He was named #1 on the Dallas 100, his company was listed as one of the fastest growing in America by Inc. Magazine, he’s been listed on countless business power rankings, and most recently announced as a 2019 finalist for EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year award.

However, his accomplishments have not come easy. He’s had to navigate some of life’s toughest hardships to maintain his success and despite these challenges, has never given up.

But that’s not even the most impressive part about him.

He’s been able to achieve all of this before even reaching the ripe age of 30 and he’s only just getting started!

I’m so happy to welcome JM Bullion founder, CEO, and my dear friend, Mike Wittmeyer.

It’s almost Thanksgiving and we are thankful to have gotten to see you all together as a team at the Leadership Summit. We are also thankful for this brand-new episode of Lessons in Leadership!

Today’s guest has been all around the PF world in 4 different regions, 3 states, 3 franchises, and has even worked in the FBI. Join me on this podcast as we get to know the man behind the uniform, Excel Fitness’ Tulsa Regional Manager, Rylie Akins!

Rylie talks on his backstory, his PF journey, his man crush, and even answers questions from you all!
