RISE UP with Dragon

EXIT WITHOUT EXITING: An interview with Entrepreneur and Coach Jason Duncan

What a treat it was to interview The Real Jason Duncan on our show. We discussed a topic that is near and dear to my heart as it is focused not only on creating financial freedom but doing so without sacrificing the things in life that matter most. In this episode you will learn a new concept of Exiting without Exiting. Meaning leaving the grind of your business as an entrepreneur while still earning money from it. Here's a little info on this amazing human that the Dragon bumped into at a conference in Colorado followed by the creation of a great friendship.

Jason Duncan began in youth ministry and quickly became a senior pastor at a congregation in Tennessee.To supplement his meager ministry salary, he sold life & health insurance to small business owners.

He grew tired and returned to college in 2005, got a Master's in education and entered the classroom as an 8th grade American history teacher in 2007. He quickly became recognized as one of the best teachers in the region.

BOOM "Great Recession" and his teaching contract was not renewed leading him to search for the next chapter. He founded Energy Lighting Services ("ELS", energylightingservices.com), which soon became the top LED retrofitting company in North America. His skilsl as a salesperson, pastor and teacher combined to make me a very effective "accidental" entrepreneur.

His leadership as the founder of ELS led to recognition in Inc. magazine two times as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in America. ELS was also named as one of the top entrepreneurial companies in America by Entrepreneur magazine. They also won several Small Business of the Year Awards and a Best in Business award from the Nashville Business Journal.

Over the years, he began leveraging his success as an entrepreneur and his unique background as a pastor and teacher to consult and coach other entrepreneurs and business owners to get to success more quickly. In 2020, he founded the coaching and consulting firm, TRJD Enterprises, which specializes in teaching entrepreneurs how to exit their businesses without selling them to a third party. Then in 2021 he founded Results University, which delivers world-class online courses for entrepreneurs who want to start, scale, and exit businesses successfully.

Jason is also the host of the nationally syndicated podcast, The Root of All Success. It is a show where I interview the top successful entrepreneurs from across the world about how they got to success. Essentially, the podcast is about how entrepreneurs grow incredibly successful companies.

Currently, Jason is the owner of five different companies and he's always looking for new businesses in which to invest. His primary interest is investing in people because he truly believes that the only thing that moves from this world to the next is people. Jason always says, "If you want an investment that pays eternal dividends, invest in people." To this end, he started a mentorship program called "PEAP", which stands for Professional Entrepreneur Apprenticeship Program. PEAP is a competitive apprenticeship program for young men between ages 22-29 who want a world-class hands-on education in entrepreneurship from an award-winning entrepreneur.

So what I am trying to say is that he's a Badass and you will love the episode.
