Thirty years of growing companies for other people taught me one thing clearly: the skills, the network, and the work ethic were always mine. It was time to build something with them that was mine too — and to share it with people curious enough to ask what else is possible.
I have spent three decades in the trenches of American business — as a COO, EVP, VP of Sales, and director of business development at companies ranging from pre-revenue startups to publicly traded corporations. I have hired and trained sales teams from scratch, restructured operations, negotiated distribution agreements, managed P&L, and chased growth targets that most people would have called unrealistic.
I got very good at it. At Kush Bottles, I restructured the entire sales organization and helped take revenue from $8 million to $52 million in two years. At Strike R&D Tax Advisory, I built the business development function and drove revenue from $400,000 toward $3 million in a single year. At Wizard International, I took over operations during an industry-wide downturn and grew revenue 12% in year one while cutting costs and rebuilding a demoralized team.
Every one of those wins was real. And every one of them came from the same place: staying curious about how things actually work, asking why the current approach isn't good enough, and being willing to learn what I didn't yet know.
WealthStream Coaching exists because I reached a point where I wanted to apply that same curiosity toward something I own — and toward helping others build income streams they own too.
The headline number: At Kush Bottles (OTC: KSHB), a publicly traded cannabis packaging company, Edd restructured the sales organization, recruited and trained 11 territory sales managers in four months, and helped drive revenue from $8M to $52M in two fiscal years — exceeding Wall Street analyst expectations. Each new market required learning a new regulatory landscape, a new customer base, and a new operational model. He did it by being curious first and confident second.
I have been in sales and business development long enough to know the difference between someone who wants an opportunity and someone who wants to do something with it. WealthStream Coaching is built for the second type — and specifically for people who are curious enough to ask what they don't yet know about building income from their existing network.
Every service in our portfolio is results-based — clients pay nothing until measurable value is delivered. That means your referral is a low-friction conversation from the start. You are not selling anything. You are making an introduction to a solution that costs your contact nothing to explore.
When that client engages, you earn 50% of commissions generated — and you keep earning as long as they remain active. That is a residual income stream built on one curious conversation.
If you have the network and the discipline to ask the right questions, I have the infrastructure to turn those questions into income. The only thing required is curiosity and the willingness to act on it.
