The Problem?
You're Stuck In The Founder Trap
You're working 60+ hours a week. Everything runs through you. Your team waits for your approval on every decision. You can't take a vacation without everything falling apart.
You know you need systems. You've tried to fix it yourself. Started building SOPs that nobody follows. Tried to get your team to help...
You can't build systems alone. Not at your revenue level. Not with your current workload.
The founders who actually escape the 60-hour grind do it by learning from other founders who understand exactly what they're going through, and who've already solved the problems they're currently stuck on.

Hi, We're Damon Flowers And Mark Malian
We’ve built and scaled companies from the ground up, including taking a training and coaching company from zero to $12M and growing an e-commerce company from $3.5M to $30M in less than 2 years.
Together, we’ve helped dozens of businesses break through plateaus, generate millions in revenue, and install the systems they need to scale without everything breaking.
From growth strategy to marketing execution, we’ve worked hands-on with 1,000s of founders and we’ve packaged our best frameworks into this system.
We're operators who've actually done this.
We built systems, delegated ourselves out of the bottleneck, and reclaimed our time.
But here's the truth: We did it the hard way.
We spent years testing what worked, failing at what didn't, and piecing together frameworks through expensive trial and error.
And when other founders started asking us: "How do I stop being the bottleneck? How do I build systems without burning out?"...we had a choice.
We could tell them to figure it out like we did.
Or we could build a faster path.
Because here's what we know now that we didn't know then:
The world moves too fast to learn everything the hard way. AI is accelerating. Innovation and decisions happen faster. You don't have 3–5 years to stumble through figuring it out so you can scale.
The founders who escape the 60-hour grind aren't doing it alone. They're learning from operators who've already solved what they're stuck on...and they're getting there in months, not years.
That's why we built Modern Operators.
So you don't have to waste time, money, and energy making mistakes we've already made. You get the systems that work, the strategies to avoid, and a room full of founders who are solving the same problems in real time.
From Trapped To Modern Operator: Your Transformation Timeline
In 2026: Your Team Executes Without You, Your Revenue Grows 30-50%, and You're Back in Control of Your Time
This is a PRIVATE community of founders in $1M-$10M businesses. You'll learn from founders 6-12 months ahead of you, implement alongside founders in your position, and be able to guide other business owners who are behind you (which cements everything you learn).
In Month 1, you'll say "I've Found My People!"
You'll meet founders in three positions:
Behind you: Need what you've already learned (builds your confidence)
Beside you: Fighting the same battles right now (creates accountability)
Ahead of you: Already solved what you're stuck on (shows the path)
By Month 3: You're Getting Back In Control
You delegate your biggest time suck using frameworks other members shared
You reclaim 15-20 hours per week
Most importantly: You have space to think again
Your stress drops because you're no longer firefighting...you're planning your company's future
By Month 6: You'll have confidence in your team and company's growth
Your team is aligned and swimming in the same direction
You're team has operational rhythm: meetings that actually move things forward
You're only working on important work you enjoy and that only you can do (all others are delegated)
Your team executes without waiting for you
By Month 12: You've Built The Business You Always Wanted
You work 35-40 hours/week (down from 60+)
Revenue is up 30-40% because the business isn't bottlenecked by you anymore
You took a 2-week vacation and nothing broke
You're proud of what you've built—and you actually enjoy running it again
You're Not Doing This Alone
Modern Operators isn't a mastermind where everyone shows up to brag about revenue.
It's a private group of founders who are focused on growing their business AND extracting themselves from daily operations so they can finally lead instead of being trapped.
When you get stuck delegating sales? Someone in your group already solved it.
When you're scared to fire yourself from client delivery? Someone beside you is doing it this month.
When you need proof it's possible? Someone ahead of you is working 30 hours/week and growing 40% year-over-year.
No operator lets another operator fail. We're stronger together.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What if I'm too busy to participate?
That's exactly the problem this solves.
You're too busy because you're the bottleneck. You don't have time to build systems that give you time back. That's the trap.
Here's what actually happens: Members who joined "too busy" reclaimed 15-20 hours in their first 90 days by stealing one proven framework from another founder and implementing it immediately.
You don't need more time. You need one system that works...and someone who's already deployed it to show you how.
The weekly sprints are 60-90 minutes. That's it. But that one hour will buy back 15-20 hours over the next month.
If you're too busy for that, you're going to stay trapped forever.
I've tried masterminds before and they didn't work. How is this different?
Most masterminds are networking groups where everyone shows up to brag about revenue and no one actually implements anything.
Modern Operators is different in three ways:
1. Precision matching. You're not randomly thrown into a group. We match you with founders at similar revenue stages, in similar industries, fighting similar operational battles. When someone shares a delegation playbook, it's actually relevant to your business.
2. Implementation-first, not information-first. We don't teach you theory. We give you frameworks other members are actively using, you customize them, and you deploy them with accountability. The group notices if you disappear.
3. Founders in three positions. You're not just networking laterally. You have people behind you (who need your help—builds confidence), beside you (implementing together—creates accountability), and ahead you (showing the path—provides proof it works).
This isn't a mastermind. It's a systematic operational rebuild with peer accountability.
What if this doesn't work for my industry?
The operational principles are universal: delegation, systems, team alignment, meeting rhythms, role clarity.
Every founder in a $2M-$10M business faces the same bottleneck: everything runs through them.
What changes is the implementation—and that's why we match you with founders in similar industries.
If you're a service business, you're learning from other service businesses who've already delegated delivery.
If you're e-commerce, you're learning from other e-commerce operators who've systematized fulfillment.
The frameworks are universal. The application is specific. And you're matched with people who've already applied them in your context.
Can I cancel anytime? What's the commitment?
Yes. No contracts. No long-term commitment. Cancel anytime.
But here's what we've seen: Founders who show up, participate in the sprints, and actually implement don't cancel. Because they start seeing results in month one.
The 7-day money-back guarantee exists so you can test-drive it risk-free. Join, meet your peer group, participate in your first sprint, and if you don't think this is worth 10x what you're paying, we'll refund you immediately.
But if you're the type who joins, ghosts, and then cancels because "it didn't work", this isn't for you. We only want action-takers.
Why is the founding price so low? What's the catch?
No catch.
We're building this community from scratch. Early takers will receive "Founder" pricing at $49/month until founding spots are full .
This is our gift to those who take action, not because the value is low.
Membership fees will move to $297+/month after our founding level closes.
