Build a $48M Brand by Mastering LTV and Biohacking Energy

Overflow All Buckets: A New Lens on High Performance

“If one bucket’s empty, you’re not a high performer.”

For Aaron, high performance isn’t just business metrics—it’s holistic mastery across health, wealth, play, and people.

“If your business is crushing it but the rest of your life is dry, you’re not high performing.”

The entrepreneurial grind can produce revenue and rot at the same time. Aaron’s philosophy: fill every bucket. Overflow is the standard. That means:

  • Prioritizing physical energy and sleep

  • Creating space for fun and play

  • Staying relationally connected

  • And building business wealth that multiplies rather than drains

This framework mirrors the AI Freedom Method: clarity in all areas, so you’re not building success that costs you peace.

Solving Founder Isolation Through Community

After his $48M exit, Aaron didn’t feel freedom—he felt alone.

Despite one of the largest DTC exits in Canada, he found himself Googling M&A lawyers and dodging post-sale vultures. That isolation inspired what would become Founders Club, a 400+ member network of real, relatable, scaling founders.

“I had dinner with 7,000 founders in 37 cities… just to find the people who understood the lonely journey.”

Now, Founders Club serves as a mastermind and movement for faith-driven, values-based entrepreneurs building in DTC, CPG, SaaS, FinTech, and beyond.

It’s not hype. It’s not pitchy. It’s the real YPO for the next generation of builders.

And it’s working: one member recently asked for a “German tax lawyer for cross-border banking.” Within seconds, someone replied: “Use my guy.”

That’s the power of alignment, niche trust, and solving for loneliness.

Stack Biohacking to Unlock Maximum Energy

“Stacking is how I compress 7 biohacks into 30 minutes.”

While most founders are optimizing tools, Aaron’s optimizing his internal operating system.

He stacks tools like:

  • PEMF mats

  • Molecular hydrogen gas

  • Cold plunges and saunas

  • Nootropics and sleep tracking

  • DJing (yes, really—for recovery, creativity, and income early on)

By combining multiple tools in short, efficient sessions, he protects his #1 asset: energy.

“Everything I do revolves around my energy. If I’m off, everyone feels it—team, clients, members.”

High-performance founders can’t afford to ignore energy inputs. When Aaron was building Hush, he worked 21-hour days. Today, he works smarter—but with the same intentional edge.

Mastering the Math: How He Used LTV to Outscale Everyone

“I ate operators for breakfast because I understood the numbers.”

Aaron didn’t scale because of clever ads. He scaled because of financial fluency.

While most founders turn off ads when they break even on CAC, Aaron leaned into LTV—lifetime value over 90 days.

“Most people stop at break-even. I planned for the 30-day, 60-day, 90-day revenue stack. That’s how we won.”

Here’s how it worked:

  1. AOV: $100 product

  2. Cost of goods: $30

  3. Remaining: $70

  4. CAC: $100 (1x ROAS)

  5. Net loss on day 1: –$30

But by day 90:

  • 30% bought again (adds $30)

  • 15% of those bought again (another $15)

  • Now: +$15 net profit over 90 days

Most people saw loss. Aaron saw compounding.

That financial mindset created momentum. When they launched new products—like pillows—they sold 3,000 in 24 hours. Why?

“Because I had a million sleepers in my email list. It was instant scale.”

It’s Not The Tools. It’s The People.

Aaron’s take on AI isn’t fear—it’s freedom.

“For the first time, intelligence isn’t at the top. Charisma, stamina, grit—that’s what matters.”

AI levels the information playing field. But your human advantage—your energy, values, clarity, and influence—is what separates you from the pack.

Aaron uses AI (like GPT) to do what used to take hours. He uses custom workflows to analyze cohorts, LTV, and performance. But AI doesn’t replace him—it frees him.

“You still have to ask: Who are you on a soul level? AI can’t answer that.”

That clarity fuels how he hires, partners, and builds media. He sees AI not as a replacement but a mirror—forcing us to focus on what only we can do: lead, connect, and inspire.

5 Founder Tactics You Can Apply This Week

  1. Know Your 90-Day LTV
    – Don’t just track day-one revenue. Know your 30-60-90 cohort performance.

  2. Stack Your Energy Practices
    – Cold plunge, PEMF, sauna, journaling—combine them to compress time and boost performance.

  3. Track Return on Team, Not Just Tasks
    – Are your $60K team members yielding $300K+ in value? Set clear ROI standards.

  4. Find (or Build) Founder Community
    – You weren’t made to build alone. Create dinners, micro-events, or join a mastermind.

  5. Use AI to Buy Back Time, Not Replace Self
    – Offload low-brain tasks, but protect the high-soul work. Use it for leverage, not laziness.

Proof It Works: From Basement Juicer to Multimillion Exit

Aaron didn’t come from wealth. He started juicing in his mom’s basement. He DJed to cover rent while scaling.

Then he built a business that sold for $48M in 48 months.

That’s not luck. That’s systems. That’s LTV. That’s stamina.
