Kekoa MacAuley - The Modern SDR

2018: Sophomore at Vanderbilt University, not knowing my path after college.

2024: Sold $5.3M online, running a team of 25+ people, helping 839+ students inside The Modern SDR.

Here's exactly how I got here (without a 9-5 consulting job or investment banking gig):

As an aspiring entrepreneur, I had no "relevant" experience to getting a job after college.

I stuttered during interviews and was terrified of them. Most job fairs seemed like a complete nightmare to attend.

So I decided to learn how to sell instead.

If I was to start again, I'd...

1. Focus on learning everything about sales.

↳ Emotional intelligence - what makes people tick and make decisions.

↳ Asking skilled questions - listen deeply and make people feel understood.

↳ Practice mock calls with other students of the game.

2. Find a high-ticket business owner selling a digital product worth $5,000+.

↳ Use FindCreators io, LinkedIn, Facebook groups, or Skool to find business owners.

↳ Record a personalized video showcasing your experience and results you can drive for that business.

↳ Share mock calls or other experience with sales you have and come from a genuine place.

3. Have a clear photo and bio.

↳ High-quality profile pic (first impressions matter).

↳ Simple bio and banner stating what you do and your experience.

I broke this down to a science here: https://youtu.be/XCaqumPOB3Y

4. Message business owners daily until you land a sales gig.

↳ List 100 people who you'd love to work with.

↳ Send them PERSONALIZED videos and messages.

To get the sales gig? Make sure your videos and messages are relevant to them. Effort over perfection, show them your potential!

This is exactly how I would land a sales gig making me $10k/month starting over from zero.

And how now I've sold over $5.3M online.

Prospects you talk to literally just want three things.

Freedom
Status
Purpose

Figure out their WHY and you will close any deal.

I went from being an introvert with a stutter so bad I could barely say my own name, making $10/hour as a lifeguard at my local JCC…

… To graduating from Vanderbilt University, building a network of close friends worth $100M+, traveling to 25 countries by age 24, and selling $5.3M online.

Here are my top 5 lessons and pieces of advice if you want to build a stellar network, make more money, and live a life of real freedom.

1. Go for the key-holder 🔑

If there's ever been a network or group of people you want to befriend or join, don't try to befriend all of them at once.

Find one person - your "keyholder" - who essentially holds the key" to the group you want in.

• Talk with them
• Build a relationship with them
• Nurture this friendship.

Once it's time, they'll unlock the gates of the network you want to join, on their own accord.

2. Avoid "looping" at all costs ❌

Every time I would stutter in the past, I'd get frustrated with myself and beat myself up.

In my head, I thought everyone would judge me if I couldn't say certain words… that they'd laugh or make fun of me.

The more I stuttered in conversations, the more I felt I would stutter in the next conversation.

So this led to perpetual loops of fear of even having conversations - meaning I'd lose the battle before it even began.

This self-deprecating "looping" will only send you into a spiral.

Notice when this happens and do everything in your power to get back in a positive state of mind.

3. Speak in the context of "them" 👥

Everyone likes to talk about themselves.

Whenever you meet someone focus on these 3 things and they'll remember you forever:

• Make 80% of the conversation about them.
• Speak their name back to them frequently.
• Complement them on something out of the ordinary.

Do these 3 things and people will speak of you to all their friends.

4. Visualize your goals down to the smallest detail 📒

Each morning I read a document called "Kekoa's Identity".

This document contains self-beliefs, specific goals, and habits I want to maintain and continue building upon every day.

By reading this document daily, I hold myself accountable to ensure my daily actions and inputs align with the outputs I really care to achieve.

Write down your specific goals, down to every last detail.

Ensure your inputs align daily with reaching those goals.

5. One quality relationship is worth 100 acquaintances 🤝

Having a lot of acquaintances might make you feel popular and satisfy your ego.

Having quality relationships will make you more money and bring you wholeness.

Focus on nurturing your relationships that you hold closest to you and let less people in.

Your future self will thank you.

PS: I'm writing this out in Barra da Tijuca right now… it's a bit gloomy today but will hit my daily run and grab food with the girlfriend.

Exchange the 7 stupid things you pay attention to with 1 important thing and watch your life transform.

Once I did this, I went from wasting time, feeling stuck, and making no money…

… to having hyper-focus on the important things, traveling to 25 different countries, and selling $5.3M online.

Here are 7 habits I built to get more time back and make more money:

1. No phone or social media before 12pm.

The first 4 hours that you wake up should be used for the most important tasks of the day.

Remove distractions and limit new information coming into your brain.

This is when your mind is freshest, most creative, and will bring you abnormal results.

Protect your mind at all costs.

2. No carbs before 12pm.

Every time I ate carbs before noon I felt sluggish with little to no energy.

There'd be a huge dopamine and energy spike when I ate food, but it was hard to focus right after.

I drink 2 cups of water and 4 cups of coffee in the morning.

This gives me hyper-focus on the most important things.

3. Delegate the 90%... and spend all your time on your "unique ability".

I'm an incredible marketer and sales person.

90% of the basic tasks inside our company I delegate out.

I focus on the 10% which will bring 90% of the results… ie. sales and marketing.

Find your unique ability and go all in.

4. Only do things that pay you for your VALUE, not your time.

Sales and marketing are the few things that can get you exponential results.

Anything you're doing where you trade time for money, will not bring you real wealth.

You must find things that you put one unit of time in, that can give you 10 units of wealth back.

Some examples of this are:
• Copywriting.
• Marketing + creating content.
• Sales + asking for referrals (1 customer can bring you 5 new ones)

5. Health is wealth.

I run 4-5 times per week now and track this diligently (in NikeRunClub).

I work out 2-3 times per week with weights and other gym equipment.

I eat healthy for 17 meals out of my 21 meals per week.

The other 4 meals can be "cheat" meals to keep me sane.

6. Create a network of friends who inspire you.

Grow your own circle. Pick 3 friends and hop into self-improvement.

Let your conversations revolve around:
• Money
• Success
• Business

Note: Be a reliable team player.

7. Focus on the HIGHEST leverage income stream.

Fact: You get paid for your skillset and not your time.

So do this:
• Learn and master sales ASAP.
• Buy assets with your cash flow.
• Don’t just save money, the government can literally print it.

Repeat the process.

Invest it back into yourself to increase your earning capacity.

If I wanted to make $10k fairly fast in the next 30 days…

Here's how I'd actually do this and how you can too, without starting a business and still living a great life…

But first, here's my backstory.

After considering the traditional consulting and investment banking path after university, which promised a hefty $160,000 a year salary, but also:

• Grueling 80-100 hour work weeks in an office
• Traveling for the company nearly every week
• Little time to ever see my family or friends

I realized it wasn't the right fit.

The money was decent, but the freedom was almost nonexistent.

During college, I knew I needed a job that:

✅ Allowed me to choose my own schedule.
✅ Let me work a few hours a day and still make $10k/month.
✅ Enabled me to travel anytime, as long as I had a wifi connection.
✅ Provided a scalable income with no cap.

I realized that only starting a business or mastering Remote Triaging and online sales could offer these freedoms.

So, in my junior year at Vanderbilt University, I decided to focus on these two potential income sources.

Starting a business requires significant upfront capital, mastering multiple skills, and involves a high risk of failure.

However, with Remote Triaging and online sales, success is achievable for anyone.

Mastering sales can lead to a life of true freedom.

Don’t follow a path just because it’s what others are doing if it’s not what you want.

You only live once. If you want freedom, seize it. This is your one chance.

Here's a 100-day action plan to build a $5k per month side-hustle.

(repost this action-plan to help out a friend…)

1. Learn a high income skill ✍
Set 2 hours a day. No distractions. Build on knowledge you can leverage.
Here's how:
• Choose a skill.
• Select 5 to 10 youtube channels teaching the specific skill.
• Binge watch it for 100 days.
Master the basics then build up on the knowledge.

📚 I recommend these 3 skills:
Pick one skill and develop it for three months.
• Sales
• Copywriting
• Coding
Fact: Having more skills is the fastest way to build tangible wealth.

2. Create your network 👪
Grow your own circle. Pick 3 friends and hop into self-improvement.
Let your conversations revolve around:
• Money
• Success
• Business
Note: Be a reliable team player.

3. Create multiple income streams 💵
Fact: You can't outwork money. So do this:
• Open businesses.
• Own assets.
• Act broke.
Let money work for you by investing what you save.

4. Focus on the HIGHEST leverage income stream 📈
Fact: You get paid for your skillset and not your time.
So do this:
• Learn and master sales ASAP.
• Buy assets with your cash flow.
• Don’t just save money, the government can literally print it.
Repeat the process.
Invest it back into yourself to increase your earning capacity.

5. Use the knowledge 🧠
Use the knowledge you obtain and earn with it.
The ultimate modern flex:
• Have a great physique.
• Anonymously rich.
• Own nothing.
• Freedom.
Simplicity is the new rich.

6. Wake up at 5am 🛌
People dread waking up early.
But this saves you 3 hours before your day starts.
Cultivate successful people habits:
• Make your bed.
• Take a glass of water.
• Work out / Take a walk.
• Read 50+ pages.
Success is hidden in your daily routine.

I hope this 100-day action plan helps… and if you want a faster way to hit your first $5k/month with a new side-hustle.

Message me "READY" and I'll send you over a 40-minute free video training to get started.

The number 1 reason people stay stuck in a job they hate:

They focus on security and comfort, rather than freedom and taking that first uncomfortable step.

- Working 40 - 60 hours a week and then not building a side-hustle outside of their job.

- Focusing on getting a raise from their boss, rather than building a new income altogether.

- Taking their 2-weeks paid vacation time off, but not asking, "How can I have 6 months per year for vacation?"

The result? A comfortable living - but not the one they truly dream of living.

Here's what I did instead:

1. Focus on one goal - learning a skill that had no cap on my income.

2. Reverse-engineered my ideal life - and made sure every action went towards building that life I wanted.

3. Realized that either running a business or learning sales was the only way to get paid for my VALUE, not the hours I worked.

4. Laser-focused all my free time to master sales - as it's the only skill businesses can really not run without.

5. Hit my first $10,000 per month and scaled from there.

If you love your job, this post doesn't apply to you… that's okay.

But if you want another job, or maybe another life... take that first uncomfortable step.

Hopefully, you can join me soon.

Here's what meeting a billionaire at the nightclub, HI Ibiza, taught me about actually making "f-you" money .

So back in summer, 2023 a group of friends and I went through a little world tour.

We hit Dubai, Barcelona, Copenhagen, and then wrapped up in Europe's favorite nightlife destination, Ibiza.

I'm on a bit of a sabbatical now as I write this, focused on, let's say "other things"… like actual work lol…

But last summer was the time for parties and travel.

So we get to Ibiza,

Lock in our AirBnB, head to a few dinners at night, meet up with other friends, and peruse around the island.

That third day, as we head to a local beach club in a massive Mercedes Sprinter van, one of my friends Collin exclaims that he's got a buddy meeting up with us.

"Yeah, I met this guy worth $100M on the plane flying in. He's in like online casinos and a few other business ventures at the moment, he'll be cool."

All of us, kinda laugh it off, continue drinking Ciroc and half-washed up Tequila from the night before in the sprinter van… bumping a soft Avicii EDM mix.

The van pulls into the beach club, more on the southern part of the island…

I'd give you exact names of the club, but I also wasn't fully "there" and even completely sober, I'm still a bit directionally challenged.

We hop out of the sprinter, walking in with the white sand beneath our feet.

Exotic house music is playing on the speakers, a DJ is bumping one hand in the air while the other spins the wheel on his set…

Men walk around with their shirts partly on, partly off… Most of the girls were in some sort of heels, sundresses mixed with bikinis, one size too small.

It was, well… Ibiza.

We get to our table and the waitress is already serving champagne and aperol spritz. Perfect for European summer.
Kids are playing in the ocean nearby.

Tequila shots start getting poured while fresh lobster, steaks and chimichurri sauce, along with seven types of fruit I couldn’t even pronounce, are being rushed out.

Paradise.

Collin’s friends’ John and Oliver from the plane pull up to meet us about 45 minutes later and we greet them.

Handing them drinks and food, it's brought up - what do you do?
“Well,” John says… “we give the people what they want… if you can figure out how to do that, you’ll make a lot of money.”

And that was the whole conversation.

Turns out they helped build and sell one of the largest online casinos in the world, launched numerous ni****ne products, and serviced multiple millions of people in the “adult industry”…

For the rest of the day we hung out, talked, drank, and ate…

So here’s the takeaway from my trip to Ibiza on how to make “f-you” money.

No - it’s not to sell drugs or service people's vices.

But it’s to find out what people really want, understand what’s in their way to get that desired outcome, and bridge the gap between current state and desired state with your product.

Once you learn sales, you’ll be able to do this with anyone.

And ultimately make “f-you” money for yourself.

PS. This wasn’t a story about meeting a billionaire… that one is coming up soon 😉

If you want to learn about making “f-you” money too with sales, just comment the word “READY” and I’ll reach out to see how we can help.

My hourly income rate at 24 years old is $100 per hour.

Here's how I make this sort of money and how you can too, without starting a business and living a great life, working just 2-3 hours per day…

(note: this is if I'm working "in my business", not on my business, there's a difference)

After getting pitched the whole consulting and investment banking route to make $160,000 a year… but working 80-100 hour work weeks, in person at the office…

Essentially making $30/hour.

I realized that I'd make decent money, but have little freedom, if any at all.

At that point during my college career, I realized I needed to find a job that:

🗓️ Would give me the freedom to choose my own schedule.
🕰️ Would allow me to work just a few hours a day and make $10k/month.
✈️ Would allow me to travel at any point in the year, as long as I had a wifi connection.

And most importantly, would allow me to have an income that was actually scalable, with no cap.

I knew that going any other route besides starting a business or learning Remote Triaging and online sales wouldn't give me these freedoms.

So in my junior year at Vanderbilt University, I knew I had to double down on mastering these two potential income vehicles.

Sure, starting a business requires a ton of upfront capital, mastering 20-30 different skill sets, and has a high likelihood of failure…

But with Remote Triaging and online sales, anyone can have success.

And once they master sales, they can live a life of real freedom.

Stop trying to follow everyone else's path - if it's not something you want to do yourself.

You only get to live one life.

If you want freedom, take it. There's only one chance.

I stuttered for 10 years and was terrified of job interviews.

I overthought the smallest details and because of that, felt stuck.

💡 What will the recruiter think?
💡 What will they say behind my back?
💡 What is the worst-case scenario?

Here's what I realized after now selling $5.3M of "stuff" online and over the phone, along with running 200+ interviews for my own business, by the age of 24:

1. Specific skills matter way more than any resume will. I'd rather someone be extremely talented at one thing, rather than 10 different things.

2. Small mistakes and mess-ups in an interview don't matter and will be overlooked, as long you have the specific skill set someone is hiring for and are even somewhat likable.

3. Any people I haven't hired, I don't see in a negative light at all. There is just another role or gig that is better for them. Business is business and I wish I never took things personally back when I was thinking of applying for jobs.

4. The majority of jobs are easily replaceable. Even if I was hired, if I stopped bringing in money for a company, I would be let go pretty quickly.

The only jobs that you can protect yourself with are ones you can generate money for others. Think of consulting, investment banking, and sales. (I just personally like sales because you don't need a fancy degree to get started with it.)

Stop trying to be the "perfect" fit when you're applying for jobs.

You are as much scouting out a company and seeing if they're a good fit for you, as much as they are with you.

It's a two-way street.

PS: I still have fears and insecurities, but push through them anyways. What did you push through today?

Where did we all go wrong?
