Jordan Dugger on Overcoming Addiction, Entrepreneurship, and Building Impactful Brands

S5 E77 • Dec 19, 2024 • 38 mins

Jordan Dugger is a former opioid addict, turned 8-figure serial fitness entrepreneur, real estate + angel investor, and physique + human optimization nerd. Alongside his wife, Erin, they founded two 7-figure online coaching businesses that have generated more than $27m in total sales since 2018. Jordan’s journey to success has been nothing short of remarkable. He was born in a small town in rural Ohio, in a broken home that relied on government assistance to feed him and his two siblings. After overcoming a serious pain pill addiction and a long history of mental health battles,, he completely transformed himself first as a physique competitor and later as an online fitness coach. In 2018, he and his wife founded T4E Systems, an online functional health coaching company that generated over $3.5m and helped over 5,000 clients worldwide.

Key Points

  • Entrepreneurs should focus on gaining skills and experience in their twenties before aiming to make money and create wealth.
  • Transitioning from addiction to business requires applying the same persistence and resilience to entrepreneurial endeavors.
  • Understanding the purpose of events, whether for lead generation or fulfillment, is crucial in determining their value and impact on a business.

Erin and Jordan later founded Impact Fitness Coaching Academy in 2018, which Helps Health and fitness Professionals Create Profitable, full-time Businesses in Service of Others.

After the birth of their son Jaxson, they knew they needed to free up more time to spend with family, so they sold T4E Systems, making them one of the only online health coaching companies in the industry to exit successfully.

IFCA has grown to be the biggest online business mentorship company for health, fitness, and nutrition coaches worldwide.

After helping over 3,600 coaches, hiring over 50 team members, and generating over $27 million in revenue, he has learned something about building companies, particularly alongside his significant other.
