About Ernie Bray

I don’t believe in shortcuts.
Success—real success—comes from grit, discipline, and showing up when it’s hard. I spent 23 years building a company from scratch. No investors. No handouts. Just work. That journey led to 6x on the Inc. 5000, multiple Deloitte Fast 500, and Entrepreneur Magazine honors. But here’s the truth, titles fade. Awards gather dust. What matters is who you become in the process.

It’s about character. It’s about leading your family. And it’s about staying strong when life punches you in the face. As an athlete, I’ve finished 35+ endurance races, Half-Ironmans, ocean swims, marathons, and more. I still train daily like it’s game day. God gave me the health and drive, and I don’t waste it. And yes, I can still drain an NBA-range three.

This blog isn’t about hype. It’s not about fake motivation or empty talk. It’s my opinions and thoughts. It’s about growth. It’s about resilience. If you’re here looking for some ideas, trying to get stronger in the storm or build something that actually matters, then I hope this inspires you.

Let’s go.
