Serial entrepreneur, speaker, investor,
podcast host, and best-selling author. Also, I’m just an ordinary guy from sunny San Diego.
I’m blessed to have achieved my fair share of success
in business. Now, there’s nothing I love more than helping other entrepreneurs like you do the same.

3 Successful Exits
More Mistakes Than I Can Count.
And I’m Still Only Just Getting Started…
My philosophy in business and life is pretty simple…
Make Friends and Have Fun
Take Immediate, Decisive Action
Kaizen
Be Remarkable
Be Change Ready
…Do all this, and the success will come.
These five simple rules have enabled me to achieve a level of success that when I was first starting out, was only a pipe dream! Every day I get to wake up and do what I love.
Now, I want to show you how to use them so you too can achieve this level of success and happiness!
The fact that you’re here on this page tells me you’re likely already on your own entrepreneurial journey. I’m sure you and I have a lot in common. If you’re like me, you’re driven by success, love helping people and you are a decisive action-taker.
I believe that’s what being an entrepreneur is all about, and there’s no other thrill in the world like it.
So, if you are looking to scale your business, build your network and grow your net worth, then that is exactly what I help driven entrepreneurs like you do.
My first daughter is born, right before I’m about to graduate and enter the “real world”. It was one of the most exciting times of my life. But now I had even more pressure on my shoulders with a family to support.
2007
I graduated from law school intending to become a sports agent. (Yes, I watched Jerry Maguire more times than I can count as a teenager.)
2007
My first foray into business. I started my first company, a payroll HR company called i-CHEX. The company would later become CanopyHR through a merger.
2009
Two years after founding my first business, I was hooked on the thrill of being an entrepreneur. So, naturally, I started my second business, a recruiting agency called JFEN Recruiting.
2011
My first exit! After four years of rapid growth, I sold my first company, CanopyHR. You never forget your first exit. This was a game-changer. It confirmed in my mind that I was put on this planet to be an entrepreneur.
2011
My second daughter is born. Now, with two daughters and two ongoing businesses, life was full. I was determined to bring my growing family an amazing life!
2012
Exit number two! Just three years after founding the company, I sold JFEN Recruiting. This second exit only made me more excited to start another one!
2012
Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. I got my first real taste of failure when both my equity-based crowdfunding business Equity Circle and Sports Investing Company failed. I learned the hard way the importance of building community and connection. Two lessons that would stick with me for the rest of my life.
2012
One business sold, another one started. Not long after exiting CanopyHR I founded a digital marketing agency with the father of internet marketing; Neil Patel. I didn’t know it at the time, but this would be the first of many partnerships with A-players.
2013
I was named one of America’s top entrepreneurs under the age of 35 by Impact Showcase.
2015
Exit number three! I sold the digital marketing agency I’d started with Neil Patel, four years after founding it. After this exit, I knew my next business was going to be the big one where I swung for the fences. And just a year later, this proved true.
2016
Fresh off my most recent exit, I noticed a big gap in the market. I saw a huge opportunity in the quick serve healthy restaurant space. And everbowl was born, with the simple mission to make superfoods accessible and affordable to everyone.
2016
Having just launched everbowl, I had no plans to create another business. But when you see a glaring opportunity as an entrepreneur, sometimes you’ve just got to capitalize on it. After experiencing the costs and pains of building restaurants I launched my vertically integrated construction and fabrication company, WeBuild, which would go on to build every everbowl location across the country.
2016
Another opportunity spotted, another business launched. Heck I’d started two businesses in a year, why not make it three? That’s exactly what I did with the launch of Unevolve Products, which manufactures and imports superfoods from all over the world to create our own proprietary flavors and bases for our restaurants and to sell to others. Once again, the magic of vertical integration in action.
2019
Founded Superfuel Coffee, which combines superfoods with coffee in a proprietary blend. Our mission is simple: to make it easy to access the benefits of superfoods, without drastically changing your routine.
2019
Named a top 40 executive under 40 by Business Journal.
2020
Everbowl grows to 28 corporate locations. To scale the company, we begin franchising everbowl to truly achieve our vision of making superfoods easily accessible to everyone. We are quickly inundated with inquiries from other entrepreneurs wanting to open an everbowl in their area.
2020
Unevolve Products goes direct to consumer through a partnership with QVC which enables us to reach their 15+ million customers.
2020
I take my first step into the teaching world as I was hired by LinkedIn to create two entrepreneurship courses for their LinkedIn Learning Library.
I quickly discovered my love of educating the next generation of entrepreneurs.
2020
Capping off an amazing (and rather hectic) 2020, I’m named a Finalist for CEO of the year by Ernst & Young and appointed as a Board Member of California Restaurant Association.
2022
Other restaurant entrepreneurs catch on that we’re building our everbowl locations for up to 4x less and they want in on the action. So, WeBuild becomes the construction partner of choice for big names like Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken franchise and Drew Brees’ Stretch Zone, amongst others.
2022
Named top entrepreneur to follow in 2022 by Business Journal.
2023
everbowl really takes off. We grow to 90 open locations and 375 sold across the country. Franchising is like rocket fuel for scaling our vision.
2023
Partnered with to launch The Jeff Fenster Show, now a nationally ranked business podcast
2023
Things get personal. After years of being told to do it, I finally launched my personal brand and released my best-selling book, Relationship Bank Account. My goal is to help 1,000,000 entrepreneurs achieve success by sharing my story and hard-won lessons.
So, that’s my story of success.
