Who is Brandon Dawson and what is his entrepreneurial background?
Literally, my opening presentation was, Hi, I'm Brandon Dawson. I have a $35 million business doing $2 million of EBITDA. If you acquired me and integrated me into your business, I would add $2 billion worth of value within 36 to 48 months, and I want 10%.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a very special edition of the Money Mondays, because as you know, 99% of the time I film these podcasts inside of an RV motorhome traveling around the country. But I'm in Phoenix, Arizona. We got this Spire tour. And so I decided to come to the 10X Ventures office where Cardone Capital has their own podcast studio set up because the co-founder is here, Mr. Brandon Dawson. So good to see you. As you guys know, we cover three core topics, how to make money, how to invest money, how to give away to charity. These podcasts range from about thirty four to forty two minutes for your listening pleasure, because the average workout is forty five minutes. The average commute to work is forty five minutes.
So I want you guys to have thirty four to forty two minutes to listen to this whole thing, because that's why we have a ninety three percent listen to rate because of you guys there at home or in the gym or in the office right this second. I'm going to ask Brandon so many good questions because I've been following him for years. I'm super excited because he's filled up stadiums, filled up events, raised billions of dollars as a health company and everything in between. There's so many things to cover. Might have to do three or four episodes today. So Brandon, if you can give us a quick two minute bio so we can get straight to the money.
Yeah, Brandon Dawson, serial entrepreneur, business partner with the one and only 10X himself, Grant Cardone. And we have multiple companies. He and I partnered with my wife, Natalie Dawson, about six years ago. And in six years, we built Cardone Ventures to $120 million company, 10X Health from a $1.5 million business to $120 million company. And we have other multiple companies we're rolling out on our way to a billion and loving every minute of being part of the 10X family under the Grant Cardone brand.
All right. So many questions. Let's go company by company. So I had to cover the make money side.
Yeah.
There was an existing business that you had with, you know, Gary Brekker was doing one or two million dollars. Then you scale to over one hundred million dollars in the blink of an eye with your guys's power to make him more famous, make the business more famous, more efficient. Talk us through how a company has been around for years. You can all of a sudden scale so quickly.
Well, Gary was a grant service provider and I had a few of my own, one in Arizona and a guy in Fort Lauderdale. And I was doing this human optimization thing in 2019 and 20. When COVID hit, I really leaned into it to keep me healthy. I was doing a lot of IVs. I was really getting into things like, because I'm 56 at the time, I was 52, 51. I was getting into things like testosterone, getting my blood checked, doing the IVs, doing all the cool stuff. But I was not getting sick during COVID. And so I really, I came out of healthcare. The business I sold was in healthcare. And part of that business was in allergy. So we had a whole allergy business. And so I looked at people that were having allergy problems and part of that crept over into longevity. being affected or impacted by things you eat, things you breathe, the environment you're in. And so in this longevity space, I was getting very curious and then became a chairman of a 275 location chiropractic regenerative medicine business.
And so I started looking into, a lot of them were doing IVs, they were doing stem cells, they were doing things of that nature. And I was like, I love this space, this whole space, and it was so mom and pop. So I met Gary through Grant, and I liked Gary. We got along great. And so I told Grant, look, I'm just going to, Gary's business had been doing, it was actually his wife's business.
