In this episode, Brian Luebben breaks down the exact business philosophy he stole from Walt Disney's 1957 mind map and used to build a portfolio of companies now doing over $15 million per year. Brian walks through his own mind map live - the one he drew in 2023 before making his first dollar in business - and shows how Action Academy, Sexton World, Sexton Hospitality, and his business and real estate fund all connect and feed each other like a flywheel. Plus, he shares the "plant trees, manage orchards" framework that changed how he thinks about building and scaling businesses for the long term.
