About Dave VanHoose
Built it. Lost it.
I've done this at every level. Built it, lost it, rebuilt it. Now I open the doors to the inner circles most people never get into.

Chapter One
The Build.
A 100-employee, 8-figure business by 30.
Inc. 500. #35 in America.
50 to 100 live seminars a month at peak.
Built on one weapon: the ability to communicate, influence, and close from stage.

Chapter Two
The Crash.
2008 happened. The market collapsed.
The business that was everything was gone.
Mass layoffs. HQ closed. A career-ending default judgment. Ground zero.
And in the middle of all of it, temporary full paralysis at 29.
Stripped down to nothing. Physical rebuild. Mental rebuild. Spiritual rebuild.
Chapter Three
The Rebuild.
No shortcut. No bailout. No outside savior. Just the work.
And the same weapon that built the first company built the next one, the ability to stand in front of an audience and move people.
Speaker Trainer of the Year. America's Trainer. Platform Closer of the Year, NSA.
Trained the trainers. Wrote the books. Built the methodology thousands of speakers run their businesses on.

Chapter Four
Now He Opens the Doors.
There's a difference between teaching someone how to climb, and opening the door to the inner circle they're trying to climb into.
That's the work now. Building the Inner Circle. Connecting visionaries.
Putting celebrity speakers, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, influencers, and high-level connectors in the same space, and watching what unfolds.
Because the future doesn't belong to the loudest voice on the stage. It belongs to the people in the right inner circles.

The names he’s
