Benson Chidester Ex-CEO of Elite CEOs and now Director of Sales at Acquisition.com | EP 083

In this episode, I sit down with Benson Chidester — former CEO of Elite CEOs and now Director of Sales at Acquisition.com — to talk about what separates good entrepreneurs from great operators. We go deep on the lessons he’s learned working alongside Alex and Leila Hormozi, what door-to-door sales taught him about grit, and how growing up in a strict household shaped his drive and discipline.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared to take the next big leap, or unsure how to lead your team at scale — this episode is a must-watch.
