The short version
Built it. Sold it. Started over on himself.
Brian McNally is an entrepreneur, investor, speaker and the author of FCK AVG: A Tactical Guide to Reclaiming Your Life. Raised in Northeast Philadelphia, he grew Meleeo past $50 million in annual revenue — four consecutive years on the Inc. 5000, including No. 281 in 2019 — and exited for a multi-eight-figure sum. He now works with a small number of founders and writes about the cost of a life you actually choose.

What I've been up to.
The full introduction
Brian McNally builds companies, and he is honest about what it costs.
Raised in Northeast Philadelphia, he grew Meleeo past $50 million in annual revenue, landed four consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 — including No. 281 in 2019 — and exited for a multi-eight-figure sum. He paid his people on the way out, not just himself.
His first book, FCK AVG: A Tactical Guide to Reclaiming Your Life, is a working manual against what Brian calls Default Living — the life that quietly assembles itself out of circumstance, expectation and habit while you are busy.
Brian is not selling a destination. His method is three moves: get honest, own the gap, become the proof. He works it with founders through a selective Founder Operating System, and he is still running it on himself.
This is how I'm trying to live. Come along if it resonates.
