I’m Vic Keller, and I’m in the people business.I’m a serial entrepreneur and private equity CEO with over 25 years’ experience building, growing, and leading a diverse portfolio of prosperous companies.My primary calling is to raise up world class entrepreneurs and operators. After experiencing several successful acquisitions over more than two decades, I’ve learned that developing people is the best investment that I can ever make. My team is my most important asset.The commonality throughout my career has been the focus to intentionally instill a great culture, deliver a profitable financial model, and empower top talent to execute the vision. All told, I love business and feel like the luckiest person in the world that I get to do what I do and even luckier that I get to do with the people I serve beside.I’m not here to be another talking head, spouting off about hiring the right people and treating them like family. You won’t hear me advocate for building “culture” with a flashy office, free snacks, bean bags, or nap pods. Those things are cool, but they don’t build world-class enterprises.Leaders do.How?Great leaders go all-in on their people.They live by this phrase: “It’s not about you. It’s about I love you.”If you want to get the most out of your team, you have to give them 110%. You have to be fully invested in powering their career and personal growth. Do that and they’ll be equally invested in your business’ growth.In short, you have to love your people.Love is a symbiotic, two-way relationship—not a one-way transaction.Love creates a multiplier effect that returns inconceivable results.—The genesis of EPIC MBAFrom launching start-ups to developing the structure around a multi-billion-dollar organization, my background has provided me the unique opportunity to be in a multifaceted set of leadership roles. This includes founding the ZAK Automotive Companies (acquired by Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. in 2015), founding and leading the private equity firm KLV Capital, and starting the groundbreaking new entrepreneurial development enterprise EPIC MBA.EPIC provides Entrepreneurs, Professionals, Innovators, and Creators with hands-on, tactical business guidance at a depth, consistency, and level of commitment I haven’t found anywhere else. I also continue to actively serve as a founder, board member, and investor for several companies and organizations.Why am I here? Why did I create EPIC?Because I want to invest in you. I want to teach you everything I know. I want you to succeed in all aspects in life.I love you.
