| Evolution of Love Part 2 |
| At 38, he made $40,000 a year teaching high school. At 58, he was worth a billion. At 61, he had nothing. At 64, he’s back. A struggling science teacher built a $7 billion empire. Then lost it all. Now he’s doing it again. Jack Owoc was 38 years old. He’d spent nine years teaching high school science. Six different subjects. Plus English. Plus running in-school suspension. The pay was terrible. But he had a side hustle coaching clients on nutrition and training. One month, something strange happened. Half his clients stopped losing fat. Same workouts. Same dedication. One change. They’d switched to a different egg protein supplement. Owoc sent it to a lab. The results made him furious. 90% maltodextrin. Zero protein. Complete garbage. The supplement industry was lying to everyone. “Just accept it. Everyone does it.” “You’re a science teacher. Stay in your lane.” “You can’t fight these companies.” He didn’t listen. Here’s what Owoc knew that everyone else missed. If he was this angry, millions of other people should be too. He just had to give them something real. In 1993, he founded Vital Pharmaceuticals from nothing. No investors. No connections. Just a mission. Make supplements that actually worked. Back everything with real science. Run it like a pharmaceutical company, not a supplement scam. For 19 years, he ground it out. Built the foundation. Funded 28 university studies. Created Redline energy drinks. Made progress. But nothing explosive. Then in 2012, at age 51, he launched Bang Energy. Zero sugar. Zero calories. Real ingredients. Bright cans. Bold marketing. Fitness influencers everywhere. People said he couldn’t compete with Red Bull and Monster. He ignored them. By 2020, Bang was the #3 energy drink in America. The company hit $1 billion in sales faster than Coca-Cola, Apple, Disney, and IBM. Combined revenue reached $7.25 billion. The struggling science teacher had become a billionaire. But then came the fall. Lawsuits. $293 million judgment to Monster. $115 million settlement with PepsiCo. In October 2022, his company filed for bankruptcy. In March 2023, at age 61, Jack Owoc was fired from the empire he built. Kicked off the board. Stripped of every title. Monster bought Bang for $362 million. Everyone said it was over. “He’s too old to start again.” “His reputation is destroyed.” “The industry moved on.” He didn’t listen. Eighteen months later, at 63, Owoc launched AI Energy. A new company. A new formula. A new mission. At 64, he rebranded it as Ai UltraDopa. Targeting dopamine. Focus. Motivation. Not copying what he built before. Building something better. He’s producing a documentary about his journey. He’s back in the gym channel. Back building distribution. Back doing what everyone said was impossible. Most people who lose everything at 61 stay down. They accept defeat. They tell themselves the story is over. Owoc understood something different. The same skills that built a $7 billion empire don’t disappear when the empire does. They’re still inside you. Waiting to build the next one. What failure are you treating like the end of your story instead of the setup for your comeback? What industry is lying to people that you could fix? Jack Owoc went from struggling teacher to billionaire to bankrupt to building again. Twice now, he’s started from zero. Because he understood that losing the company isn’t losing yourself. Your knowledge doesn’t file for bankruptcy. Your skills don’t get fired. Your drive doesn’t get sold to the competition. The only thing that can end your story is deciding it’s over. Owoc decided it wasn’t. At 64, he’s proving that your second act can be bigger than your first. Stop listening to people who think one failure means you’re finished. Start thinking like Jack Owoc. Find your next formula. Build your next empire. And never let anyone tell you the game is over until you say it is. Sometimes the greatest comebacks come from the greatest collapses. Because when you’ve already lost everything once, you know exactly how to build it back. Think Big. |
