    Episode 100: Dan Young - CEO at Xidax & PC Laptops

    Dan Young is a creator, investor, mentor, and entrepreneur. Dan’s passion is to share his experiences on maximizing financial, physical and psychological well-being. Ultimately spreading peace, happiness, and joy throughout the universe. Born in 1971 and raised in Southern California, Young is a first-generation American. His parents emigrated from China to the United States in the late 1930s to escape repression. At age six, Young began attending a computer school, learning video game development. His first entrepreneurial efforts selling T-shirts in Venice Beach proved fun and lucrative. Dan’s then opened a shop at a swap meet selling cutlery in his Samurai costume. After moving to Utah, the big box electronics retailer he was working for went bankrupt. Young contacted all the customers that had bought computers from him offering to honor their warranties at no charge. This is how PC Laptops began. The first year he lost over $20,000, honoring these warranties but the following year Young’s loyal customers rewarded him with over a $1,000,000 in business. Today his online, retail, cloud, manufacturing and real estate projects generate hundreds of millions in revenue and employ hundreds of US-based employees. Young has founded numerous explosive growth tech companies such as PC Laptops and Xidax.com. Young has driven PC Laptops founded in 1992 and many of his companies to multiple listings among the INC 500 fastest growing companies in America and numerous awards such as Utah Best of State, 40 under 40, Microsoft Gold Partner and Intel Platinum Technology Partner. When he’s not visiting one of his stores and making friends with customers or inventing insane new things, Young is now just as likely to be in action mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs face to face and online at https://instagram.com/dansmillionairecode or developing massive real estate projects.

    Episode 97: Alex Valley - CEO at Unity Wellness Co.

    Alex Valley's current company is Unity Wellness that is worth over a million dollars at the moment and is already available in more than a thousand stores. Unity Wellness’s main product is its health beverage, made from four nutrients (Hemp Complex, Ashwagandha, Ginkgo Biloba, Rhodiola Rosea) and has five different flavors in its range. They also launched two flavors of protein bars. Alex started his entrepreneurial journey with the car dealership and later on started Fiber Optics Communication before he got into the beverages business. Alex believes that “to be an entrepreneur you just have to dive in and you learn along the way,” and “you have to have a passion for the product”. To achieve something bigger, Alex decided to move out of North Dakota. To earn some extra cash, Alex found work as a model. In 2019, Alex and his partner did a test run for Unity products, which was a success. In March 2020, Unity Wellness was relaunched with a better formula, branding, and portfolio. Alex believes that due to the pandemic, people are more drawn to healthy diets, which has positively impacted Unity’s business. Focused marketing strategies are one of the key fundamentals that Unity follows. Alex ensures that their marketing strategies are up to date. Unlike other brands Unity offers specially formulated CBD beverages, which is why they are considered premium products. Alex says that social media is thriving, but there is a need for something that’s is more business-focused, something better than Instagram and Facebook. Unity’s goals for 2021 are to keep growing, hiring the right people and finding the right distributor. However, three years from now, Unity plans to partner with or merge with some big brands. Alex plans to expand Unity in New York and hit areas like Minneapolis and Raleigh to grow Unity Wellness further.
