**Action Academy | Build Wealth. Buy Assets. Leave Corporate.**

Action Academy is the podcast for high-income professionals who want to turn their skills, savings, and experience into ownership and freedom. If you’re trying to replace $10K–$20K per month of salary without gambling your family’s future or starting from zero, you’re in the right place. Monday through Friday, you’ll learn how to buy small businesses, invest in commercial real estate, operate companies, and build income that belongs to you. Brian sits down with 7, 8, and 9-figure entrepreneurs, acquisition experts, investors, and operators to unpack the strategies, deals, mistakes, and decisions behind their success.

Hosted by Brian Luebben (@brianluebben), who left a six-figure corporate sales career in 2022 to travel the world while building and buying businesses of his own.

You already know how to earn. Now it’s time to learn how to own.
