My brand is about obliterating the limits of mediocrity and confronting the deep, often hidden struggles that pro athletes and elite entrepreneurs face but rarely talk about. It’s not about surface-level motivation or cheerleading—it’s about doing the hard, raw work of dismantling fear, self-doubt, and emotional paralysis that keeps high performers from reaching their full potential. I don’t sugarcoat anything, and I sure as hell don’t coddle. My brand is an unrelenting force for truth, accountability, and transformation. I cut through the layers of societal expectations, ego, and the façade of success to expose what’s really going on beneath: the fear of failure, the suffocating pressure to constantly perform, the isolation, and the gnawing feeling of never being enough despite external success. My mission is to ignite a brutal, beautiful awakening—to show these men that owning their choices and confronting their inner demons is the only way to break free. I don’t just talk about resilience; I forge it. I don’t offer easy wins; I offer the kind of transformation that’s earned through facing the truth head-on and taking radical ownership of their lives. My brand is for those who are done hiding behind their success and are ready to step into full mental, emotional, and physical mastery—no excuses, no distractions, and no playing small. This is about domination from the inside out, and if they aren’t ready for the real work, I’m not their guy. This is not for the faint-hearted—this is for the elite who want to break free from the chains they’ve put on themselves and rise to a level most only dream of. MAKE it another GREAT day! With much abundant gratitude always, Gordon D Melville aka 'The Long Bearded Guy' ps- type The Long Bearded Guy into almost ANY social media platform and you will find me! 😉🥰🤗

Would love to thank Suzanne Taylor King for being an world-class visionary and leader within the high ticket industry and for inviting me to join this community. I’m making this post to declare my intention to support her more in this community and follow all of the amazing work she’s doing to help people GROW and SHIFT through The Idea Lab for Entrepreneurs on Skool! I’d also like to introduce myself to this group and declare my intention to share some value with you here on a regular basis. I have tons of marketing wisdom that I will impart here to serve this wonderful community. Who Am I? I’ve been an online entrepreneur for the last 25 years. My claim to fame was turning a $2 ad into $2 million in my first 20 months online. That was before social media existed…I did this with good old-fashioned email marketing & ads (still the best forms of marketing today). After a decade of constant activity in business, I closed down a multi-million dollar company, including an office in India and another in the Philippines. I spent the next 5 years living on Maui as a self-ordained hermit monk. I currently live in Hawaii with my wife, stepson, and dog Bandit. I own a real estate investment portfolio, and mentor experts for high ticket sales & scale their businesses online. I’ve retired and re-emerged online after doing several $100-$500K launches. I keep coming back to the Internet because I love people & I love seeing ideas come to life quickly! The biggest thrill I get is connecting with purpose-driven, heart-centered, high-integrity entrepreneurs like the members of this group…because it’s the entrepreneurs that change the world! We’re not the type to sit around and complain about the direction the world is moving in…we are the ones that initiate the change! So I’m here in this group to connect with awesome people, share ideas that will change all of our lives, inspire people, and support as many of you as I can. I look forward to all of the fun conversations & experiences we will share together in this group.
