Brian Downard

Since 2007 Brian has had a passion for creating and building businesses. In high school he and a group of friend started a t-shirt brand called “Crow’s Nest Lifestyle Clothing” which got into local retail stores and even sponsored a professional skateboarder. Brian’s role was to design and market the t-shirts. But in 2010 when everyone started to grow up and move away, the business was abandoned. So while Brian was attending a local college majoring in marketing, he started his second business… This one would white-label iPhone apps for hotels and restaurants.

Even though he was able to work with big brands like Marriott, ultimately big technical projects were not a great way to scale a business. Growing more frustrated with college and the slow growth of the business, Brian pivoted to a marketing agency model and started to enroll client on a monthly retainer. This combined with an introducing into the patio furniture / BBQ retail space was a game changer and in 2015 the business finally crossed the six-figure mark. Then around 2017 Brian saw the huge opportunity in online education when he joined a community called the Entrepreneur Alliance, where he also met Alex Schlinsky. Over the next couple years Brian built his coaching / course business to six-figures but started to burn out because he was doing EVERYTHING in the business.

Early 2019 Brian and Alex reconnected over a game of golf in Florida. They agreed they were doing well on their own, but could do better together. Later that year, Prospecting on Demand crossed the 7-figure mark as a program and as of this writing has helped to coach and create more than 130 six-figure agencies and more than 20 7-figure agencies. Brian’s ongoing goal is to help passionate creatives channel their genius into a real business so they can have time and financial freedom for life.
