The Serial Exiter Who Built & Sold a Wire Empire 3X
Rich Galgano
Rich Galgano is a battle-tested entrepreneur, USA Today bestselling author, and architect of $500M+ in company exits. A natural dealmaker from Aurora, Illinois, he co-founded Windy City Wire at 25 and grew it from zero to national dominance, profitable every month for decades.
He engineered multiple strategic exits, culminating in a $485M sale to Diploma PLC, all while maintaining control and distributing $65M in bonuses to employees. His #1 USA Today bestseller, Down to the Wire, shares his rise, his recovery from a decade-long gambling addiction, and his blueprint for building and exiting companies.
Today, Galgano runs a family office with his son Jacob, investing in real estate and disruptive ventures, including their 2025 cybersecurity startup Scylos.
The Billionaire Dealmaker Who Plays the Game at a Level You’ve Never Seen
Mystery Billionaire
He is one of the most influential and least visible figures in modern private equity. A billionaire who built his empire through hundreds of quiet acquisitions, he moves markets without ever appearing in the headlines. CEOs who have negotiated with him describe the same experience. He reads a room instantly, controls leverage effortlessly, and walks away with deals others never even saw coming.
He rose from nothing, built a web of funds and holding companies, and mastered the unwritten rules that govern billion-dollar transactions. While rivals chase trends, he manufactures them. While others react, he is already ten moves ahead.
World's #1 Wealth & Business Coach
JT Foxx
JT Foxx is one of the world’s most active dealmakers, operating across 84 companies and serving clients in 104+ countries. His focus is M&A and his proprietary M7A model, a next-gen system for buying, scaling, and exiting businesses.
He’s done deals in every major sector: real estate, tech, AI, hospitality, media, construction, insurance, e-commerce, and beyond, building companies that create real cashflow and real enterprise value.
The M7A model keeps founders at full value while JT drives growth, optimization, acquisitions, and integration toward a high-multiple exit. It’s a proven buy-scale-exit framework built from real global deals.
JT has negotiated with billionaires, closed across borders, and built companies in markets most entrepreneurs wouldn’t dare enter. Today he’s focused on M&A and AI, leading the first-ever rollup in the AI agency and implementation space.
Entrepreneurs work with JT because he’s proven, strategic, and sees value where others see risk. If you want to buy, scale, merge, or position a company for a major exit, JT Foxx is the person to learn from or partner with.
