Partner Philosophy
Brian's been writing and speaking about B2B revenue relationships for more than a decade. The events are an expression of the same ideas — turned into rooms, rounds of golf, and 7am cold plunges.
01 — Relationships
Every interaction is a deposit or a withdrawal. The math of long-term partnerships is brutally simple — and almost no one runs it.
02 — Events
It's what you know about who you know. Meaningful Revenue Relationships (MRR) is what shows up when you build a room on purpose.
03 — Revenue
Individual targets cap out. Partnerships compound. We help operators find the second curve before the first one flattens.
Industries we serve
Our events aren't generic networking. Each format is built around a specific kind of room — with the right people, the right cadence, and a host who knows the channel.
Brian's home turf. A decade in payment systems, software, and partnership architecture for the channel that runs on relationships.
Where the BeaUTAHful Invitational lives. Sponsor-fit, founder-fit, and an 85% sponsor return rate.
Audits, kickoffs, and keynotes for the teams trying to convert pipeline into actual partnerships.
Launch Your Firm with Ronnie Withaeger — for the CPAs going independent.

VisitAbout Brian
It started with complete and utter failure — a door-to-door solar sales job in Los Angeles that didn't go well. A decade later, Brian had built a career operating at the crossroads of partnerships and revenue.
He's now a revenue relationship expert based in Salt Lake City, running events, hosting Burning Questions, and dragging people outside whenever the snow is good.
