$2 Million Will Show You Everything
Who claps. Who vanishes. Who tries to kill the signal.
When I hit $1 million in income, everyone clapped.
The comments. The DMs. The podcast invites. They poured in.
But when I crossed $2 million, something strange happened.
Silence.
Distance.
Vanishing acts.
People I’d known for years started acting different.
Friends got quiet.
Mentors stopped replying.
Peers who used to amplify my work suddenly acted like I didn’t exist.
Because crossing $2MM solo doesn’t just change your tax bracket—
it breaks the social contract.
It threatens the ones who never expected you to get that far.
It triggers the ones who once said,
“We’re all in this together”… until you outpaced them.
I’m not talking about competitors.
I’m talking about collaborators.
“Community builders.”
Alleged friends.
They couldn’t celebrate it—because they couldn’t explain it.
Not with their model.
Not with their playbook.
Not with their ego intact.
What $2 Million Really Felt Like
I didn’t wake up with a crown.
I woke up with pressure, silence, and the unshakable feeling:
I can never go back.
$2 million doesn’t come with confetti.
It comes with scrutiny, projections, and people hoping you fail quietly.
There was no parade.
Just precision.
Just a quiet moment where you realize:
you’re not one of them anymore.
The Ones Who Clapped Louder
Scott Leese. Ian Koniak.
Two real ones who didn’t flinch when I joined them at the top.
No envy. No silence. No ego.
Just open arms and an open mic.
The $2MM+ club isn’t crowded—
because most don’t have the grit to get there.
They didn’t gatekeep.
They amplified.
And that’s what separates real leaders from pretend ones.
The League of Extraordinary Coaches
Art Sobczak. Jamal Reimer. Tony Hughes. David Hoffeld. Townsend Wardlaw. Stu Heinecke. Todd Caponi. Anthony Iannarino. Dale Dupree. Aaron Ross. Patrick Tinney.
These aren’t LinkedIn lurkers.
They’re builders. Architects. Authors. Operators.
People who’ve actually contributed to this profession.
And when ALGO arrived—
they didn’t get insecure.
They got louder.
They didn’t have to.
They chose to.
Art Sobczak – Godfather of cold calling. Saw ALGO and said: “Yes.” No hesitation. No fear.
Jamal Reimer – Enterprise assassin. Understood instantly that ALGO wasn’t hype—it was a blueprint.
Tony Hughes – GTM strategist. Gave me signal-boosting feedback instead of side-eyes.
David Hoffeld – Behavioral scientist. Quietly powerful. Publicly generous.
Townsend Wardlaw – Calls BS for sport. Called ALGO what it is: the real thing.
Stu Heinecke – Original contact marketing maverick. Saw the torch being passed, and helped carry it.
Todd Caponi – Transparency king. Gave ALGO the clarity and weight it deserved.
Anthony Iannarino – Voice of wisdom in B2B. Didn’t flinch at the shift—he welcomed it.
Dale Dupree – Rebel leader. Knows when something’s real. This was.
Aaron Ross – The man behind Predictable Revenue. Didn’t cling to the past—he nodded to the future.
Patrick Tinney – Deep thinker. The kind of advocate who moves in truth, not trends.
They didn’t wait for permission.
They didn’t play politics.
They just showed up—because real ones know real.
The Ones Who Vanished
Now let’s talk about the others.
The ones who watched the rise—and prayed I’d stall.
Ryan Reisert
Built his brand on “connect and sell”—until my system connected deeper and sold bigger. Never acknowledged it. Just blocked it out.
Jared Robin
Preached “community” until mine grew bigger.
When I stopped playing follower and became a leader, his invites stopped.
Jeb Blount
Built his empire on brute force. Dismissed my playbook without ever reading it.
When his scripts stopped converting, he tried to bury the one that did.
Keenan
Loud about originality—until mine showed up.
Warm in private. Cold in public.
Handshake in front. Knife in back.
Armand and Nick
All polish. No presence.
Talked modern sales—but retreated when it actually arrived.
What They All Had in Common
They weren’t confused.
They weren’t unsure.
They were threatened.
Because Cold Call ALGO didn’t just question their frameworks—
it replaced them.
Why I Built ALGO
I didn’t write this book to get rich.
I’d already crossed $2MM. Solo. No team. No funnel. No fluff.
20 years in the trenches.
13 startups.
1,000+ execs coached.
$1B+ in client revenue.
I took full-cycle enterprise strategy—
trigger events, multi-threading, psychological framing—
and injected it into the first 30 seconds of a cold call.
This wasn’t theory.
This was for the 1% ready to replace noise with precision.
What I Built—And Why They Hated It
They told reps to smile and dial.
I taught reps to diagnose in 30 seconds.
They sold hype.
I delivered revenue.
They played volume.
I trained precision.
And that’s why they couldn’t keep up.
This wasn’t ego.
It was evolution.
And once it worked?
They didn’t argue.
They disappeared.
This Is a Filter
This post isn’t a flex.
It’s a filter.
Because when you hit $100K… then $1MM… then $2MM—
you’ll feel it.
Who claps.
Who vanishes.
Who downplays it.
Who pretends they never knew you.
Who tries to kill the signal.
They’ll tell you it’s lonely at the top.
What they won’t say?
It’s only lonely because you outgrew the lies.
I didn’t build ALGO to compete.
I built it because everything else stopped working.
This isn’t a book.
It’s a weapon.
Cold Call ALGO is the playbook they prayed you’d never find.
The Movement Starts Here
This isn’t just my story.
It’s a pattern.
The second you stop playing small—
the ones who once cheered will try to shrink you again.
Don’t flinch.
Don’t apologize.
And whatever you do—don’t dim the signal.
The real ones will find you.
The rest?
They’ll prove why they were never real.

Read it before they try to bury it.
Because $2 million doesn’t change you.
It exposes them.
