Vick is a self-made entrepreneur, investor, author, and mentor best known as the founder and CEO of Blackstone Medical Services, one of the largest providers of home sleep testing in the United States and a company that has made the Inc. 5000 list five years in a row. What makes Vick’s story especially compelling is where it began. At one point, he had just $78 in his bank account and was facing enormous personal challenges. From those beginnings, he rebuilt his life and went on to build multiple companies, including Tipnes Capital and Tipnes Health, growing his businesses into organizations with hundreds of employees and millions in revenue. Along the way, he’s become known for his philosophy of building what he calls the “Maximum Life”—success not just in business, but in relationships, personal growth, and impact. www.vicktipnes.com/ Show Sponsors: GET YOUR FREE COPY OF THE MISFIT CODE - 21 UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS FROM 450+ WORLD CLASS ENTREPRENEURS!
