DALLAS, TX — December 29, 2025 — This interview features Jay Rodgers, founder of Business Owners Ed, discussing his organization's mission to help serious, committed entrepreneurs grow their companies. Rodgers emphasizes the critical role of small businesses in economic growth and details the structure of his program, which targets business owners with a minimum of $1 million in annual revenue and are serious about growth. He shares insights and anecdotes from his co-founders and impressive network of mentors—who are required to have scaled a company to "mega millions" and donate $5,000 to the non-profit—to illustrate how focused mentorship, accountability, and strategic thinking can lead to massive business growth, even for those starting with no cash.
