AC Lockyer

Bet The Farm, Screw The Pooch & Start From Scratch

Have you ever failed? Ever underestimated the task at hand? Faced seemingly insurmountable odds? THAT'S AWESOME. That is the kind of junk that legends are made of.

We have all heard that business is hard. So what! Anything admirable is not easily accomplished and success rarely goes uncriticized. Mountains are made to climb and only so many people are made to live in the mountains.

Come and hear the tale of the most difficult three years of my life. The dirt, disappointment and destruction of relationships, brands and momentum that literally cost me $1,000,000.00 in cash. It's a story your going to love.
