This Buyer Has $7 Trillion and Pays Every Time ft. David Packouz
A seven-trillion-dollar buyer is hiding in plain sight 👀💰
And it buys almost EVERYTHING.
Today on The LFG Show, we sit down with David Packouz — yes, the real-life entrepreneur portrayed by Miles Teller in War Dogs 🎬 — to break down how regular people and small teams are winning federal government contracts and turning them into real, scalable businesses.
No fluff. No guru talk. Just the real playbook.
We get into:
How to land your FIRST government contract (even under $250K) 📝
How bidding actually works — and why most people lose at first
How proposals are scored and why “past performance” is the cheat code 🔓
Why brokers are NOT shady in this world — they’re the glue that makes deals happen 🤝
If you’re in lead gen, marketing, call centers, or ops and tired of ad platform chaos 😵💫 — this episode will flip a switch. Government demand is steady. The rules are clear. And the people who do the work win.
We also talk MONEY 💵
Government pays net-30. Suppliers want cash up front.
That gap scares everyone… until you understand contract financing.
David breaks down how first-time winners get funded because federal receivables are about as safe as it gets.
Mindset matters too 🧠
Expect losses
Iterate fast
Stay persistent
Some of David’s students lost bids for months… then hit seven-figure wins and built boring, profitable, durable businesses. The kind that don’t disappear overnight.
We also go behind the scenes of War Dogs 🎥 — how a Rolling Stone investigation turned into a movie, and how house arrest sparked new ventures like Singular Sound, Instafloss, and Comment Compass.
Discipline over drama. Execution over hype.
That’s the real leverage.

Don't waste time. Sign up now and let's fucking go. Yo, we're back in the house that paper call built. We got Hollywood. People are making movies after this guy. He's a CEO. He's kind of about to start blushing out. We got the CEO Singular Sound, the CEO War Dogs Academy. You've seen him portrayed in the movie War Dogs. Funny fact is we're in the fucking penthouse where they filmed the movie War Dogs, Adam Young's place. Bro, I'm I'm I'm excited to have you on show, David, for many reasons, right? Thank you. Because I mean, the movie, I mean, I'm sure a lot of the audience have seen the movie. I I saw that movie, man, and fucking I stood up. I like there's points where I was excited. I'm I'm watching the ups and downs, and I think as an entrepreneur and someone that lives this kind of stuff, that stuff resonates. So if you guys haven't fucking seen War Dogs, make sure you see that shit. The fucking great movie. Uh, we'll talk about that too. And another thing is, CEO of War Dogs Academy, guys, we had government cheese on our show a year ago. I've got a company that has government contracts. I got I got some money in the bank from this thing. I'm not really doing much with it. I need to press the gas on it. So I want to talk about that as well. And we say in this economy, you have no fucking choice but to make more money. So David's got a program that'll show you how to make more money. So where do we begin, man? There's a lot of shit here, man. You want should we start with War Dogs Academy? Like, what's your main focus right now?
SPEAKER_00:So uh War Dogs Academy came about because after the movie War Dogs came out, uh, which for anyone who doesn't know uh Miles Teller, the the skinny one, in the film plays me, you know, the guy with the great hair. Yeah, I got the Hollywood treatment. Uh but uh uh after the movie came out, I got a lot of people hitting me up asking me to teach them how to do that business. And uh to be clear, people thought we were like arms dealers, which we were, we were selling weapons and ammunition, uh, but the main business we were doing was government contracting, which is selling stuff to the government. And it could be weapons and ammunition, but it could also be literally anything. I sold fuel to the government, I've been on contracts for for food, for uh trucks, for all sorts of things, clothing. And the government buys literally everything. Uh, the weapons and military stuff is really a small part of what they buy. So a lot of people wanted me to teach them how to do it because selling to the government is not like selling to a regular company. If you're selling in the private sector, uh you are you give them a price, they give you a purchase order, you deliver, they pay. You know, it's very straightforward. With the government, they are required by law to do a whole bidding process. So if you want to sell to the government, you have to go through their entire bidding process of submitting a proposal and making sure you, you know, dot your I's and cross your T's and follow all the rules. And they have a lot of different rules that have built up over time because of politics. And so that entire business is a bit complicated to get into and has a quite a learning curve. So a lot of people try to get into it and they file, they they fail, they get discouraged. So a lot of people were hitting me up to advise them and to consult them on how to get into it. And I realized that there aren't really that many sources of straightforward guides and uh programs to teach people how to do business with the government. So that's how we started War Dogs Academy. I actually started Wardog's Academy with uh two guys who were inspired, uh, my co-founders, Logan and James, they were inspired by the film to start their own government contracting business. And to their credit, they taught themselves the entire thing without my help from the ground up. And they built themselves, they have won, I think, over 25 million in contracts. They specialize in laundry services, which they sell to the government, not weapons or ammo. But uh they contacted me out of the blue and they're like, hey, we just wanted to thank you for inspiring us to start our business because we went from being totally broke to being multimillionaires from government contracting, and it was all thanks to War Dogs. So I thought, I've got like hundreds of people asking me to teach them this thing. And these are just people who kind of slide into my DM, so to speak. So that's where the idea for starting Wardogs Academy came about. And it's been open for about uh, we started it about, we launched it about a year and a half ago, a little more than a year and a half ago. And to date, we've had over 300 students who have reported to us, it's probably a lot more, but who've actually reported to us that they've actually won contracts with the government. Well, so our system has been proven uh over 300 times over, and some of our students have gone from being totally broke to being multimillionaires. And it's super inspiring, super cool to be able to help people with that. And the government buys uh uh, you know, they they put out like 30,000 new contracts every single day. Wow. Every single day. So there's there isn't even close uh to the to the capability to go through it all. So you have to specialize, and that's why uh, you know, people ask me, Oh, why are you teaching other people how to do this? Why don't you just grab all the business yourself if you know how to do this, right? I'm like, there's no way any one person or company can do all that because there's just so much business, and you have to specialize in order to be successful with this. So that's why we started War Dogs Academy, and it's been super inspiring and uh you know really gratifying to help people uh succeed in in this uh business that I got well known for from the movie.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it's a great name, by the way. I love the name of the academy. I'm definitely gonna check it out. And one thing I'll say is that um, you know, it is a process. I mean, like I said, I have a company with my brother-in-law where we are we we're approved government contractor, right? And again, we we could we could have tried to figure that out ourselves, but I'm busy. I don't have time to do that. I'm busy as fuck, right? And it's common. My brother-in-law is busy too. But I know that he had a little bit more bandwidth than I did, and I trust him. Like, listen, I I interviewed uh Briar Kevin Jennings on our show, which uh you you've I think you've interviewed with him as well. And uh he had a program, I forgot, I don't even know what we we put into. We invested maybe five grand, but it really fast-tracked us, you know, instead of us trying to navigate this, yeah, he showed us how to do it. He actually helped us navigate our first contract. He's like, hey, listen, this one looks like we're going to bet on. We bid on and we freaking won. I mean, it's not a life-changing money, but it's something that's bringing in some money, right? And then it made me realize that hey, if we put some more time into this, that we add like any other business, we allocate someone that can go into the system, look at different contracts. And we were talking offline. I have a shitload of call center experience. Yeah, I heard there's call center uh that government bids for calling. They they want Americans, they want, yeah, they want to use that taxpayer money to fund American jobs, right? Yeah. Instead of overseas stuff, right? So that's something that I'm missing the bone on by not doing, right? So I can say this is for uh a real thing. I've I've recovered, I mean, I think we're in the black two or three months afterwards. Yeah. Uh yeah, we got money sitting in the bank. Now I want to reallocate it.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And now that you won a few small contracts, you are well placed to win those much bigger contracts. Because the way the government works is usually they only award contracts of under a quarter million dollars to people who have no experience. So you, as a brand new entrepreneur who is just starting to do business with the government, you could win a quarter million dollar contract. No problem. They don't look into your background, no nothing. Yeah, right. But once you have a few of those under your belt, you can use that as what they call past performance or uh proof that you've done this business and that you're competent in this. And then you could go after the multi-million dollar contracts that the people who don't have the past performance don't qualify to bid on. Yeah. So we always tell our students, you go for the quarter million and under contracts, and you could make, I mean, our average student makes within 90 days about uh a little over 13K in profits. Uh the average contract size that our that our students win is about$88,000 as their first contract. But that's just the first contract, right? And that's within 90 days, and then what then you're set up to bid on much, much bigger contracts, and then you could win multi-million dollar contracts, as a lot of our students have already.
SPEAKER_02:So you can you jump, or so okay, we're we're in a lot of the audiences in Lee Gen, e-com online advertise right in. And and I was known as a solar guy for many, many years. Yeah, we still do solar, not to now I do home improvement, right? But can you like we won this contract for I don't even know what we're doing, bro? It sounds fucked up. We're doing something like we're doing laundry or some naval, some naval place here in the fort. Like we sure we we're picking up the laundry on a Thursday, washing and bringing it back to them. Yeah, yeah. But I don't know if you could say that law linens or whatever the hell it is.
SPEAKER_00:No, that's laundry service can we jump by code laundry.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, can we jump to a whole nother, like completely different thing, like no problem, or how does it work? Do you have to stay within that lane?
SPEAKER_00:As far as past performance, it it's it depends on the specific contract, yeah. Right. So if you're going after a multi-million dollar contract that has a past performance requirement, usually they will require a past performance with that specific disk. God. So the fact that you have laundry experience may not help you deliver ammunition. Yeah. Right. Uh now it definitely is not going to hurt you uh if you put that on there. It shows that you have done business with the government, which is good. But they will probably, but you may be able to use it in conjunction with other past performance. So uh what they do when they're awarding these multimillion dollar contracts, they have a scoring system. So they'll give you, they'll have different categories of what they care about. Past performance is just one of them. And then they'll take your past performance and they'll be like, okay, you have this number of contracts in this industry, this number of contracts in that industry. And they may assign different different points to how relevant it is to the contract that they're doing. So it may help you, yeah, but you will probably need some other past performance in that industry to win those bigger, bigger contracts. Now, you could have like some small laundry contracts, some small ammunition contracts, and together they may be like, okay, you know, this person has enough past performance all around to combined to uh qualify for this bigger contract in this industry or that industry. So it definitely can help.
SPEAKER_02:All right, so let's let's talk like what we talk about offline. I have tons of call center experience. I've been doing it for 20 years, right? Yeah. The new entity has nothing to do with call centers, right? It's a government contracted entity. So let's say we wanted to bid, shit, I don't know what the size of those are, these call center contracts. I mean, but let's say we wanted to bid on something like that. They'll probably do a vetting process, right? They'll look at my past experience. You Google me, you'll see. I mean, we want Inc. 5,000. You sure I've got call center interviews everywhere. So that would probably help towards that, right? To look at all that.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. Your past performance doesn't need to be with the government necessarily. It could be in the commercial sphere as well. If you could show that you've done uh business in the commercial sector in this industry, you could use that as your past performance when you submit it to the government.
SPEAKER_02:Got and the reason I asked that is that again, most of the audience, their media buyers, their business owners, right? And we talked about this offline. The price of everything's through the damn roof, right? 100%. I don't see this changing anytime soon. I travel all over the world. It's an international thing. So you have no choice right now but to make more money. Yeah. Right. And you have to look for other ways to diversify your income sources, right? So I found this, again, it wasn't that difficult to get the contract. We got the contract, we're making some money. Now it's all a matter of just adding more fuel to the fire. But say someone that's a media buyer, they're good at generating leads, they're good at driving traffic, they're good at marketing. How can they get involved with this? Like what are some areas they can win government contracts for?
SPEAKER_00:So, first of all, I'll say that I am not uh aware of all the business that the government does, right? I did have everyone who does government contracting tends to specialize, right? Yeah. Uh now I did uh business with the government in quite a few different uh industries. So my first contract actually wasn't for ammunition or weapons at all. It was for uh 40,000 gallons of fuel of propane that I delivered to the Air Force. And that was the first contract I ever won. I made like eight grand in profits. My partner also made eight grand. We split 16 grand in profits. Um and I we also did uh, as I mentioned before, we bid on contracts for uh for uh uh cars, for vehicles and clothing and food. But the government literally buys everything, right? The government has millions of people they employ, they have uh army bases all over the world, they have all sorts of different programs. Um, you know, they do real estate services and marketing services. And so it really depends on the the current needs of the government. I am not aware of what they do in the call marketing and advertising space. I am sure they do because you know the government does uh uh they have certain programs where they need to inform the public of certain things, and they some I've gotten calls from, you know, automated calls from the government. So someone's doing that. The government doesn't do that themselves, they hire somebody to do that. So 100% they're doing this kind of thing. Um, but I I am not personally uh an expert or that familiar with that particular industry.
SPEAKER_02:I uh you made me real think of something. I have a friend who I don't know if he still does, but like six years ago, he had a contract with the army where it's for the recruiting because that the recruiting is not like it was, I don't know what you want it disattributed to, but back in the 50s and 60s, you know, I I mean my father was in the Marines. I think my all old his brothers were i in some branch of the military, right? So the I guess it was less of an urgency of the younger generation to get to the army, but they were working with him, I think, to do some outreach, like advertising, right? And then he was thinking about using my call center, and we just never got it going. My business was taken off. I couldn't really focus on that side, but I think that would be one example, right?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, 100%. Anything where the government needs to do outreach to the public. Yeah. Uh, like, for example, when the government uh I mean recruiting is a great example because they're always uh uh they're not they're not hitting their recruiting targets. So they're constantly having to ramp up advertising and outreach to the public to recruit. Um, but another example is when the government launches a new program like healthcare or health insurance, right? They need people to be able to do that. Obama queer guys. Yeah. Boom.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. A lot of those plaques are for people with ACA. That's true. Yeah, there you go.
SPEAKER_00:So like Medicare, the health insurance uh programs that the government launches are massive. They're massive. And they need to reach literally tens, if not hundreds, of millions of people to inform them about this and get them involved in these programs. So that outreach, they do that in multiple different ways, and they they could use uh your services for that.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, and you know it's music to my ears. You're you know, I'll get like pissed off myself for not moving on this quicker. Yeah. Right? But that it's good. Everything's about timing in life, which everybody comes down to. But I mean, you've done$300 million with the government, right?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, we won a$300 million contract. Oh, you want one contract for that? Yeah, that was one contract. Holy shit. Yeah, that was our biggest contract. So what what was that an arms contract? Yeah, that was the uh the contract in the War Dogs film uh for supplying uh ammunition to the army of Afghanistan. So we were we were supplying it to the U.S. Army, they were giving it to the Afghan army because the United States was trying to build up the Afghan government into a functional democracy so we could leave. They failed, you know, but uh but part of that was building up their army and police, and so they had to supply them with uh weapons and ammunition to build their organizations. And uh those organizations used Russian-style weapons, Soviet bloc-style weapons, which the United States doesn't manufacture. So they had to put it out for bid to get uh middlemen like us to go out there and source these things uh to supply them. So that's what we won. Uh that was a$298 million contract.
SPEAKER_02:Man, that's crazy. So a$300 million one contract. I thought that was cumulatively.
SPEAKER_00:No, no, that was that was what do you think you'd done cumulatively in with the. So before we won that contract, I think as a company, we had won about$25 million worth. Oh, this was the whale contract. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, that that it just took us all it and took us into the stratosphere, that one contract. But because we had done those other contracts, we were qualified to bid on that bigger contract. They wouldn't even look at your bid unless you had quite a few, you know, low multimillion dollar contracts under your belt.
SPEAKER_02:So let's talk about the buildups. How how long from when when you guys uh when the company was EE AEY, right? AEY. So AEY w was around, right? For how long was it around before you got involved?
SPEAKER_00:Well, Ephraim started bidding on the US uh on federal contracts in uh I think it was in late 2004, and I joined him about a year later.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, so you joined a year later, so you got involved. How long did it take to get that$300 million?
SPEAKER_00:$300 million contract? Uh we won it about a year after I joined him. Wow, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:That's incredible, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And no, it could move fast. You can move fast with the government. Yeah, and and the reason why I'm excited to have you on here is because lead generation, I mean, uh we depend a lot on meta. You depend on these freaking platforms that are it's a love-hate. You make your money on there, yeah. Fuck. They do these updates and it fucks shit up. And then your margins, I will talk to you offline, Allie. When I first got in the business, my margins were great, and every year they keep going down and down, down. You gotta always reinvent yourself. You always gotta look for something new.
SPEAKER_00:It's because uh the platforms are always trying to squeeze everybody to make more money themselves. I mean, that's what their algorithm their algorithms are optimized to make them money, not to make you money. So, I mean, I I I have experienced this myself as well. Um, one of my companies, Singular Sound, we make uh uh high-tech products for musicians, uh advanced guitar pedals and things like that. Beat Buddy, check it out if you're a musician. Um, and uh so we sell direct to consumer, and so we do a lot of advertising on Meta, on Google AdWords, and we're constantly having to reinvent everything and to refigure everything out because they tweak the algorithm. Oh, yeah, it used to work, doesn't work anymore. And so it's kind of like it's a constant rat race. And they do that so that you will pay the maximum amount for that advertising before you it's not worth it to you. And they're always trying to feel you out to see where that number is because they want to make the most money they can. And it's unfortunate, but that is the the current state of uh the advertising game right now. It is, right? That's why Sergey Brynn has got that boat down there. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if you could see it on camera, but Sergey Brynn, the uh the the co-founder of Google, that's his yacht right over there, probably worth a few hundred million. And he's is a five hundred money. Apparently it's 45 million a year in upkeep. So it's 45 million a year in maintenance, massive. This is maintenance. And you know, uh some of those 45 million in maintenance he's paying that's coming out of our pocket. It's coming out of our pocket.
SPEAKER_02:He should take us on there for a drink. One drink, half a drink, man. Half a drink, and pay some of that anyway. But but yeah, but yeah, going back to what we were saying, though, but it's true. But what I what I feel though is that what we do in terms of and I've said this before, we're like magicians. We know how to get people to click on ads. People are scrolling to get them to stop scrolling and to for that. We interviewed this guy, Brandon, with Gen Z. They have a two-second attention span. Yeah within that two seconds, you got to get them to stop what the hell they're doing, right? For sure. So with that being said, I think that these are geniuses that are in our audience, an LLG show audience, right, in in our industry. If they can somehow, some they're looking for like that, that offer, that magical, irresistible offer. But I feel like the government has that for them. You know, and that's why I want to have you on there because I feel like, and you're talking about insatiable appetite, you're talking about a$300 million contract. And I'm sure there's for the bigger ones, trillion dollar contracts, right?
SPEAKER_00:But the government's$300 million is not that big. That's great. Yeah, I mean, the government has a seven trillion dollar budget in all together, you know. The fuck, I'm in the wrong business.
SPEAKER_02:Seven trillion with a T. Hi, man. Yeah. LRD man. Well, we say we have hope in a recession, bro. This there's the hope that you're looking for. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Seven trillion dollars. But listen, I I was talking the other day, I was pissed off. I went to a home improvement show in Vegas, right? And I got five clients. They sp, they they do probably 12 to 13 million a month in ad spend, right? Or elite purchases. And like I'm just agitated because I'm like, man, how the f what I need, I need, I gotta get more of that budget, right? So I'm trying to fucking crack paper calling, whatever, man. So I'm here thinking about 12 million a month. Meanwhile, this guy's got seven trillion. I gotta focus on the other stuff, man. But that's why I wanted you out here because I I want the audience to listen, you we're good at what we do. How do you find that offer? How do you find the right buyer? And the government, unless you fuck them over, they're always gonna pay, right? Oh, 100%.
SPEAKER_00:No, no, no. So the government isn't spending their own money, right? So they don't, it's like one thing that that people who do government contracting, depending on the type of contract you're going for, realize they need to do is you need to finance your contracts, right? If if it's a delivery, is that good is that to cover the float? Yes, exactly. So the government pays net 30, right? That means that they uh it's always net 30. There's no way around that. Almost always net. There are some programs where they'll do what they call progress payments where they'll pay you on certain milestones, but that's for very specific contracts. And anyone who's getting started in government contracting probably isn't gonna deal with that at first. And there's also certain things like cost plus contracts that like Lockheed Martin gets when they're developing a new fighter jet where they're they just send their their expenses to the government and the government pays them whatever their expenses are plus a certain agreed-upon property. Okay, yeah, that's smart. Yeah, but that's that's unusual for for a you know, no newbie is gonna get that contract. Yeah, yeah, no one's no newbie's gonna get that kind of contract. You know, once you're at a super high level, maybe you could negotiate those things. But uh as a newbie, right, the government pays you net 30, almost always net 30. Very, very occasionally, depending on the agency, maybe they'll try to do net 60, but it's usually not less than net 30. Now, if you're delivering goods to the government, usually you have to pay your supplier in advance, right? Or before they ship. Sometimes you can negotiate with the supplier to give you net 30, and then you just transfer the money from the government to the supplier and you don't need to finance it. But if the supplier won't finance you, especially if you're dealing with an overseas supplier, they'll never, almost never finance you. You need to float it, right? Which means you need to finance it. But the good thing about government contracting is that investors uh see government contracts as a very safe investment because the payer is super reliable. Because if you're dealing in the private sector, right, you may sell to you, let's say your buyer is a private company. The owner of that private company may decide, hey, you know what? I'm gonna screw this guy because I get to keep more money. Yeah, right. The government contracting officer does not keep any of the money if he screws you over, right? It's not his money, right? He doesn't own the government, right? It's not like gonna stay in his bank account. So he has no incentive to screw you over as long as you follow the terms of the contract, right? So the government is considered to be the safest customer in the world because they have no incentives to screw you over unless you mess up the contract. And they'll never run out of money because they're not gonna go bankrupt and leave you hanging. Because they print the money. They literally create the money themselves. So they are never gonna run out of money, especially the United States government, which has the reserve currency of the world. Uh, so the United States government is considered the most reliable customer in the world, and therefore you can get pretty decent uh uh financing for government contracts. And that's actually one of the things we provide through Wardogs Academy is access to a network of uh financiers who do finance government contracts. So our students, even though they may be dead broke, if they win a big contract through our connections, they can finance those contracts and still deliver on them.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I love it. It sounds like a really you have all the solutions there that they they can need, right? And another thing you made me think about, I was listening to your interview you did with Harrison and Adam Young, I think it was like a year ago. Yeah. Uh, and it sounds like one reason you had success is is that you were persistent, right? You were made happen. And I think that with our industry, I mean I started off as a broker. I was brokering, I was brokering leads. I'd I would get leads from A, you know, at X amount price, and I I'd find uh the supplier, I'd find C, and I was B in the middle, right? Right at my markup or whatever. Sure. And then I I went higher up on the food app. Eventually we did our own media buying one and stuff. But the point is that I think that if you there's a lot of brokers in the industry and they they get they get a bad name, but the the ones that are really good, I think they would thrive in something like that.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, I mean, that's almost the entire business is brokering. So people, one thing people always ask me, like, why does the government need you, right? Why don't they just go to the supplier, to the end supplier, right? Why do they need a broker in the middle? And uh there's two answers to that, right? The the first answer is that only about, I think, 12% of US businesses are even registered to do business with the government. If you want to bid on government contracts, the first step you need to do is to register your business uh with the government so that they see you as an official supplier. Otherwise, they can't do business with you. Yeah, they have to get you in their system. It's a whole process. It's got some hurdles to it. That's actually one of the first things we teach in War Dogs Academy is step-by-step how to do that entire process. There's also some other things you there's some things that they call set-asides, which give you categorize your business into uh certain uh categories that give you certain advantages, like if you are a veteran-owned business or disabled veteran-owned business, or if you live in a socioeconomically disadvantaged area. There's a lot of different categories that you can uh if you um if you qualify for it, you can get uh special treatment and certain contracts that only you can bid on. So that's like the first process of registering your business with the government, finding what categories you fit into and applying for those. And and so only 12% of US businesses total. I'm surprised by high. I would have, I would have said three to five percent. Yeah, so it but that means that means that 88% of businesses are not, right? Almost 90% are of businesses are not even registered. That means they are legally unable to sell anything to the government. So when the government wants to buy stuff, you know, they're not just looking to shop from 12% of the US economy. They they want to get the best price, right? And that brings brokers into the into the picture. A lot of businesses don't register with the government because they don't want to deal with the government. The government is a pain in the ass, right? They have, you know, if you want to sell them something, you have to read a um a solicitation document, which is the document they post when they want to buy something, which describes all the requirements and all the hoops you got to jump through. Those things are usually 30, 40 pages of boring government uh language, right? A lot of businesses don't want to go through that. They don't want to have to, and then you have to uh write up a proposal, which is another long document that pretty much tells the government that you're gonna give them what they asked for and all the ways you're gonna do that. And and of course, we have step-by-step guides on how to do all this. That's the value of Wardogs Academy, but a lot of businesses are busy, they have enough business doing in the private sector where things are much simpler, so they don't want to deal with the government. So a broker is providing a service for those businesses saying, hey, I'll do all that grunt work and all that uh all that annoying stuff for you, and I'll take my commission, my profits by being the middleman. So that's the first reason. The second reason why there are brokers in government contracting is that oftentimes the government wants to buy a bunch of different things at once. And there isn't a single company that makes all those things. So the only person who could even provide them this entire package of things is a broker. And a great example was our contract with the US Army for that Afghan ammo. They wanted to buy like 30 different types of munitions, all Warsaw-packed stuff. There wasn't a single company in the world that made every or that had all that stuff in stock or could manufacture it all, except for the Russians, but they were on a blacklist for supplying Iran with nuclear technology. So the US couldn't buy from them. So once they realized they couldn't buy from the Russians, they realized they would have to deal with like 50 different suppliers and they didn't want to do that. Yeah. So they put it up for a bid for a single supplier to go and find all those other suppliers and do all that legwork for them. So the government knows about brokers. They fully encourage brokers, they're happy to deal with brokers because it saves them a lot of work and it gets them the best price. And brokers compete against each other and gets them the best price.

No one wanted to work with brokers. And everyone wants to always go direct, right? Like, why am I paying this guy in the middle? You know, when I can they started looking at that kind of stuff. And I remember I would lie in the beginning. I would be like, I would tell people that it was coming from me, the media, right? Right. And I remember feeling always weird, man. But like I didn't, I was so new in the industry, I didn't know what to do. I almost felt like I don't know what I was walking in eggshells, and then it got to the point where I was like, you know, I started making enough money. I was like, I'm just gonna tell people this is how it is, and blah, blah, blah, blah. Right. And then eventually I started creating my own media. But but for with here, you don't have to do that. You don't have to feel like you're walking egg shows. You don't have to lights. This is actually true transparency.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, no, no, I mean, that's true. I mean, look, there's you're always, as a broker with government contracting, you're always gonna occasionally bump into companies who want to bid it direct. You know, there are 12% of companies who are registered to do business with the government, but you have to realize that that is that is just the nature of the business. You know, you're gonna get, you know, let's say you're doing laundry services like you are, right? Yeah. And my co-founders of Wardogs Academy, that's their specialty as well. The vast majority of laundry service companies are not registered to do business with the government. Some of them are, but the vast majority aren't, right? So when you go and you're trying to win a laundry services contract, you're gonna get uh we always tell our students, you have to get a price from literally everyone, right? Because you don't know who's gonna be the best, right? You don't know if you're gonna find that one supplier that's gonna win you the contract, right? So you get a quote from literally everyone who could potentially fulfill that contract. And by its nature, you're gonna talk to some people who are bidding it directly. And they'll be like, oh, you're you're bidding on that. We're not they usually refuse to give you a price because why would they give you a price if they're competing against you? Or they'll give you a price that's higher than what they're bidding it at. So they know you're just wasting your time. No. So you're gonna deal with that, and that's a normal part of the business, and uh, and it's fine. I mean, there's still many, many, many brokers who make a lot of money, as we did, and as our students have hundreds and hundreds of times over. I think at last count, we've had 300 students who've been successful who've successfully won government contract. Uh, so our our program has proven itself hundreds of times over, and that's just part of the industry. The government expects it. Most of the suppliers expect it. Most of the suppliers are not even aware of government contracting. So they're like, Yeah, yeah, you deal with it. Here's our best price, give us the business, or don't, and that's it. And and so I think it's just a fact of the industry and it's fine. You know, you just have to, you don't have to feel weird about it, you don't have to lie. Uh you could, I mean, some people do lie. And uh one thing that what and I don't recommend people do this, but one thing my former partner Ephraim did would be he, if he was talking to a uh a uh a supplier that he knew was bidding on the same contract that he was going for, he would change the numbers a little to make it a little higher. Yeah. And say, this is not going to the government, this is going to us to a another company overseas, right? We're gonna be doing export or something, right? So uh, and you gotta give me a really good price because I'm competing with all those cheap Chinese guys who are gonna, you know, so you have to give me your absolute rock bottom price. And sometimes, this wouldn't happen all the time, but sometimes the the company would quote him a lower price than what they're quoting the government. Wow. Because they they real they think, oh, you know, we're sell selling to the government, we could get fat margins with the government because no one else could beat us when selling direct to the government. But if we're competing with Chinese people overseas, we better be really competitive. And then he would underbid them on the contract to the government. Wow. Now, this has sometimes got him in trouble because then especially if it's a kind of contract where there's only one supplier, like if the government asks for a specific branded thing, like they want a certain type of night vision goggles or whatever it is. Sometimes that supplier will be like, You lied to us, you said it was for overseas, we're not gonna sell to you. And then they'll watch you default on the contract. And you know, there's some uh things that he would try to do, like he would try to convince the government that they're being uncompetitive, and so therefore to allow them to deliver a different branded product, but that's a risk. I mean, you can you can easily default on that contract if you play those kind of games and and get yourself in trouble. So it definitely depends on your level of risk tolerance. I don't recommend that to our students. There's a lot of sneaky ways you can do things in business in general that can get you in a lot of trouble, but could also make money, you know. So there's you have to kind of uh dial in your risk tolerance into any business. And and uh, but you don't have to do those shenanigans in order to make a lot of money. Our students, as far as I know, have not done those shenanigans, uh, and we don't encourage them to do that. Yeah. Who's like the ideal person for the program, right? Yeah. So the ideal person for Wardogs Academy is someone who is super self-motivated, right? Because if you are this is the kind of thing where you are gonna be working on your own by and large. I mean, we recommend that our students find a partner to work with because human nature, you always work better with a partner. Like I work better. Or accountability. Yeah, exactly. You have accountability, you you especially someone who could uh who could uh mitigate some of your shortcomings and has strengths where you have weaknesses and who has weaknesses where you have strengths, and so you work together really well. So, you know, like a good example uh of that. Actually, Ephraim and I had that kind of synergy, especially in the beginning, uh, because um I was a more meticulous kind of guy and he was kind of more off the wall and like kind of shooting, you know, throwing everything at the wall and see what sticks. And I would kind of have to clean up his mess. But together we kind of worked together because you know, we worked well together because he would go for things that I probably wouldn't have tried, and he probably would have lost those things, uh except for my cleanup duties, so to speak, you know, my meticulousness in in uh in uh uh cleaning up his mess, so to speak. So there are certain things that there are certain partnerships that work really, really well together, and you can be stronger than e either of you could be individually. So it's always better to have a partner. But regardless of whether you have a partner or if you're doing this solo, this is the kind of business where you have to motivate yourself. And it's also the kind of business where you can have a lot of failure for a long period of time before you have a success. And if that that's the kind of thing that discourages you, then this business is probably not for you. So, just for example, uh before winning the Afghan contract, I think uh we I you know, I I personally, I mean Ephraim and I were not work, we weren't working on the same contracts always, but like I hadn't won a contract in like four or five months. And I was like, holy crap, maybe I'm this is not for my business, you know, then maybe I'm just not good at this. How many did you bid on? What was that that streak? Um, so different contracts take different levels of work, yeah, you know. So some contracts you can knock out a few of them in a week, and some contracts take weeks to work on. So I was going for relatively big contracts. So I think I had been in like like five or six contracts. I was like averaging maybe one big contract a month and maybe a few small ones. Uh so but I lost them all. Like I lost like 12, 13 contracts before we won that big contract. So it was super discouraging. You lose, you lose, you lose, you lose, you lose for months and months and months. And then I won a$300 million contract. And I was like, holy crap, that if he had paid me and then screwed me out of all the money he owed me, I that would have set me up for life. Like I would have made like$15 million from that contract and profits myself. So, and and that we've seen the same exact thing happen to some of our students in War Dogs Academy. We had this one guy, um, his name was Gav, his name is Gavin. He's still actually uh uh very involved in the community. It's actually really cool that he stuck stuck around. But he lost, I th I forgot it was something insane, something like 18 contracts in a row over six months. And he was getting ready to quit, and then he won a five million dollar contract. And now he's set. I mean he's gonna make, he's gonna clear like a million dollars on that over a few years. And so, and now he's like, he's reinvesting his money. He's worked now, he's going for bigger contracts, and now he's super inspired, obviously. That's what he's just gone from zero to hero uh over the course of six months after joining the academy. But it was that persistence that allowed him to keep on going and to keep going through losing to get to that win. And I think that's not everyone is built for that. So the ideal person is someone who is stubborn and is willing to do boring hard work. And I always tell people, I tell people this in the beginning, uh, right in the beginning of the course. This is not a get rich easy scheme. It's not a get-rich quick scheme, right? It's a get rich by working your fucking ass off for a long time scheme. Yeah, but it is a get-rich scheme. You will get rich if you do that. And it doesn't take a genius. Anyone can do this, anyone with any sort of motivation and reading skills and comprehension skills can do this. And you know that's true. I I mean, I'm not to to uh uh put down any of our students or anything, but you know, they they are they come from the whole range of people. Some of them are very smart, a lot of them are very smart, but you know, a lot of them are just normal people, and there's nothing wrong with that, right? But they the it's a lot more the work ethic than the raw intelligence. You don't have to be a genius, is the point, right? You can be a normal person as long as you have the motivation to keep on going. Uh, you can be very successful at it. And we've seen it time and time and time again.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, so it sounds like just you can't, you just can't give up, man.
SPEAKER_00:And everything's that's really what it's about. You can't give up. So one thing, but I I I will tell people is that you have to be ready for those long spells of of losing contracts. So you have to analyze yourself, like what what do you need to live, right? Because you can't, you, you know, you have expenses, you have to pay your rent, you have to buy food, etc. So don't go into it, don't go 100% into it if you have no cushion, right? Now, what have a lot of our students do is they'll is they will do start doing this part-time while they have like another job. We had one student, uh Avery, I think his he was a chef in a restaurant. And he was working part-time doing War Dogs Academy, like at night while working in a restaurant as a chef. And after I think three months, he won a contract that made him 30K. Wow. And he was like, 30K, that's like more than I make in like a half a year of uh of working as a chef. He's like, screw that. He quit his job, he worked full-time, and now he's pulling in hundreds of thousands of dollars. I I think he I don't remember if it was if I'm confusing him or someone else. I think he won like a uh something about a close to a million dollar contract recently.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. And I'm glad you brought out that example. And the reason I asked that question, I feel like with our audience, we have a lot of people in the audience that they they they're doing pretty well. They're they're making more than enough money, right? Sure. They have the ability, but they they want they the thing with our industry is like you're always on the edge because you know it's only a matter of w these campaigns will last forever. Sure. Right? Every every campaign has a shelf like they always look for what's the thing that will have some sustainability. So for people like that that They already have their they're they're they're they're making enough income to have their needs covered, they're saving some money, disposable income, and they can allocate a resource to focus on this. Right. Right. That makes a lot of sense, I think. You don't have that pressure. Hey, get involved. And it's like me, we that's kind of what I did, right? I I I was really busy, but I, you know, I had some additional income coming in. We put some money to the program. Now it's it's it's positive. So now we're at the point where let's add some more resources. People that can help mine the database, and but we have to put time into it. So for me, it just takes a little bit of time. I just gotta figure out what type amount of time to put into it.
SPEAKER_00:100%. It's all about the investment that you put into it. It's like anything in life. You put more work and time into something, you're more likely to succeed. It's it's it's a no-brainer.
SPEAKER_02:I love it. This has been great. I got this is one of my final questions to you. Yeah, I've always I've always wondered this, right? So um let's walk through through the movie. And when did you find out they're making a movie about this? And what what were your thoughts?
SPEAKER_00:Oh man. Um well, first of all, I will say I I never expected there to be a movie made about me. This was not on my uh on my uh, what do you call it, my vision board or anything like that, right? Um I uh I the the way the movie happened was they uh well there was a front page New York Times article that was very negative written about us. It kind of created a whole scandal. My my mug shot was on the front page of the colour. Well, how did that feel when you saw that? That was really bad. I mean, I was very scared uh because I knew I was in a lot of trouble and I could possibly could go to prison for decades. So I was very terrified. My lawyer told me, Oh, you're in a lot of trouble and you shouldn't talk to the press. And so it pretty much every journalist in the world was trying to call me at that point to interview me. And um, and then one of the journalists was uh from Rolling Stone. I'm a musician, I I play guitar, I'm a singer-songwriter. So I always dreamed about being written in Rolling Stone. Not for that, but but still, I was like, Whoa, Rolling Stone, pretty cool. And um I told the roll, I actually called him back and I'm like, hey, I'd love to talk to you, but my lawyer says I can't talk to you. And he was like, Oh, let me talk to your lawyer, we'll make a deal. And so he made a deal with my lawyer that that they would only publish after all legal jeopardy had passed, which ended up being about three years. So Rolling Stone did like a three-year investigation into our story uh um investigative journalism piece, uh, where they went into the court documents, they interviewed people on the government side, and they published at the end of three years, they published one of the longest articles they'd ever published about our whole story. Uh, it's called The Stoner Arms Dealers. If you Google the Stoner Arms Dealers, it'll come up. And uh Todd Phillips, who's the dire who was the director of the Hangover movies, uh, he was in the middle of filming Hangover 2 at the time. He read that article and he was like, this is the coolest thing ever. I gotta make a movie about this. And so that's how War Dogs happened, uh, because Todd Phillips read the Rolling Stone article. When I heard that they were that it Todd Phillips was gonna make this movie, I was like, oh my god, he's gonna make it like the uh like the um like the hangover movies, you know, he's gonna have me like being all drugged up and next to prostitutes and a tiger in in Vegas or something. Mike Tyson come out of the way. Yeah, exactly. Who knows? You know, like it was gonna be, I was like, he's gonna make me look like an idiot. So I was like, but whatever, it's still cool, you know, a movie. And so I was actually very happy with how the movie came out. I thought that they portrayed me pretty positively. Uh, and it was, it was um, I didn't know this at the time, but it it's it was ended up being Todd Phillips' transition into drama. So after War Dogs, he made Joker with Joaquin Phoenix, which is ironically not funny at all. It's not a comedy, yeah, it's a drama. Um, so they call War Dogs a dramedy, so it's like half drama, half comedy. So it was kind of his transition movie from like hangover to Joker was War Dogs. So I thought it came, it was a I thought he balanced it really, really well. It was a nice balance of comedy and drama, and uh, and it came out really good. I'm actually very happy with how the the movie came out.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it was fantastic. If you guys ever watched it, watch it. I mean, especially you're in business or aspiring to be in business or in sales. I mean, it just I I I watched it and I laughed so many times, it was so good. Yeah. And the other questions I asked you with that being said, what you I did were you at the premiere of it? I was, yeah. I got invited to the premiere. How did that feel? Like, I I I can't imagine, like, like I mean, obviously, is it's you, but it's not you. Someone's they're portraying you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How did it feel watching it? Are you like, holy shit, like what was going through your mind as you're watching this?
SPEAKER_00:So I was at the premiere. Um and uh right in the beginning, uh Miles Teller, who plays me, he's like, he's like, my name is David Packows, and I'm an international arms dealer. And I'm like, this is so fucking weird. I was thinking, this is this real? Am I gonna wake up right now? Yeah, it doesn't seem real. Uh yeah, it it was very, very surreal. Very surreal. Um, still doesn't feel real. I mean, it's kind of very few people get movies made about them, especially while they're alive. Yeah. Especially being portrayed in a positive light. So I really feel like I won the lottery in life. Uh, I feel extremely fortunate and I didn't even go to prison, which is amazing. Yeah, congrats. And uh, yeah, thank you. I I is enormous, enormous uh uh blessing. And while I I I got seven months of house arrest. And while I was under house arrest, I came up with the idea for my first invention, which is the beat buddy, uh, the world's first uh guitar pedal drum machine hybrid. It allows people to control a drum beat hands-free while you play your instrument. And that was the launch of my company Singular Sound. We've made many other products for musicians since then, and it's become very successful in completely unrelated to arms dealing and government contracting and all that. I was banned from doing government contracting for 15 years, so I I had to find something new. So I feel extremely fortunate that um that my time under house arrest inspired me to come up with an invention that became very successful and allowed me to build a uh uh a very successful multimillion dollar company that allowed me to move on with my life. And so I just feel like I honestly I feel extremely grateful uh for the way things turned out. Uh people always ask me, oh, would what would you go back and change, right? If you had a time machine. I mean, like, sure, I would have loved to have been paid for the the money that uh Ephraim owes me like five million dollars. I would love to get that back, Ephraim. If you're listening, he's not gonna pay me. He's not he's never gonna pay me. Uh, but um, I don't expect him to pay me. He's not that kind of person unless he has a complete change of personality. No, right now. Hey, you know, I listen, if he pays me, we can st we can be friends. Ah, he can buy my friendship for five million dollars. I mean, he's not really buying it, he owes it to me, but still, plus interest. That's a lot of interest, it's a lot of money. It's he it's uh around 15 years of interest. Yeah, but um, but uh uh yeah, I mean, I feel extremely, extremely fortunate for how things turned out and uh I don't take it for granted. And uh with Wardogs Academy, in in a way, and yes, it is a money-making venture, and it's been very successful, um, and I'm very grateful for that as well. But it has that extra bit of um makes me feel good that I'm helping other people as well. Because when I get stories like Gavin or Avery, who are some of our very successful students, and they went from being dead broke to being multimillionaires, or they're gonna be multimillionaires when they complete their contracts, which will take a couple of years, but they already are, you know, set up for it. It's awesome, you know. Like, like it's it's something that I've been able to positively affect hundreds and hundreds of people and change their lives and the entire course of their lives and their families' lives and the people around them. It's been super gratifying. And um, and I I know Adam, you know, who we're in his beautiful apartment, you know, he feels the same way. You know, he has a whole wall of plaques of all his successful customers. And we we should probably do that, create plaques for our students as well. It's just a whole other level of business. When you're not just making money, but you're helping other people make money. It's I'm not gonna say I I'm doing it just out of the kindness of my heart. Obviously, I'm in business to make money like everyone else, but it is a super cool business to be in, to be able to help other people be successful. And and that makes me feel great.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I love it. I think it's great. And again, in this economy, the way things are and things are headed. I mean, you gotta make more money. You gotta look at ways you always have to. This seems like I always say sales is a great equalizer in society. So I think is when you have that salesmanship, the acumen, you got that drive, and you could kind of marry that with something like this where a buyer that that does seven trillion dollars, you know, spend. I mean, there's an opportunity there somewhere because you gotta find it. But you need sometimes a push or the right people to collapse time frames, and there's an investment. You make an investment yourself. But listen, I'm pretty sure. I mean, I'm making money doing this, and I'm I'm just annoyed as we're talking about why am I not focusing more time? I need to allocate. There's no excuses, right? But I do, uh I'm gonna definitely do that, right? I'll probably talk to you about that in a bit. But guys, you want to make extra, you want to make more money, you want to make tons of money, work with a seven trillion-hour buyer, Wardogs Academy, and they'll show you how to do it. Cool, man.
SPEAKER_00:And we have a step-by-step all the way through, and we have on-staff experts who help our students answer questions. We have like weekly sessions where all our students can uh ask questions together, uh, and you could hear each other's questions. We also have uh private one-on-one meetings that are available to our students with our in-house experts. So we set up everything uh to maximize the chances of our students' success.
SPEAKER_02:Well, that's what it comes down to, right? They're not just signing up and then, hey, figure it out.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, because we know that there's a lot of courses out there and it's like almost cliche. Hey, buy my course. Oh, everyone has a course. Everyone has a course. And so when I started Wardogs Academy with my co-founders, I told them, hey, guys, we we can do this, but it has to be real. Yeah. Because I already have a uh a fraud conviction under my belt. I'm already a convicted felon. I can't have an the judge won't go easy on me next time. So I cannot, this has to be 100% on board, real value. People shouldn't even have a reason to be upset about us, let alone sue us for anything. Right. So uh, you know, that's why we set it up so that it's not just a course. We have the community, which uh everyone who joins the course gets access to, uh, where people can make connections with each other. We they can post questions for anything they don't understand in the course. We have in-house staff that uh runs our uh meeting, our group meetings as well as private meetings. We so we hired um retired government contracting officers, the people who work for the government deciding who wins the contracts. Yeah, so we got a few of those people who are retired now. They work for us and guide our students reviewing their bids and it it making sure they don't mess up because all you need, you can put in months of work into something and then you don't thing, and the government just tosses your bid out. Uh so we have people on staff to make sure that doesn't happen. And that is why we've had over 300 students be successful in winning government contracts uh because we have that support system. It's not just a course, it's a support system that follows you after the course. And uh, and I think that that was one of the main differentiators of and the one of the main strengths of War Dogs Academy and the reason that we've had so many successes who've gone through it.
SPEAKER_02:I love it. This has been great. There's so much information here. I think we can go on for a long time. Anything else we didn't cover that you wanted to?
SPEAKER_00:Uh oh, one of my inventions uh that I invented with my brother is called Instafloss. It's something completely off the wall. It's uh it's like a water pick on steroids. It uses 12 water jets to floss all your teeth in 10 seconds. Instafloss.com, like Instagram, but flossing instafloss, check it out. And uh yeah, you know, I think that's uh oh, and and one other thing that I would like to mention just before we uh end, I also started a uh company called commentcompass.com. And um, the reason I started that is because with my company Singular Sound and Instafloss, we these are consumer-facing companies. So we have a lot of people who uh we have a lot of reviews on YouTube, uh, you know, influencers who review our products. And because they are publishing their reviews on their own channels, uh, a lot of people like we don't get notifications when there's new comments on their on their uh uh on their reviews. Um and the comments is where everyone decides their opinion, right? Whether this product is good or bad. You know, they'll be like, oh, this guy probably got paid. So let me see what other people are saying in the comments, whether they used it and what they think about it. So as a brand owner, I always have my social media people reply to people in the comments. And you could do that when like like 80% of the comments happen in the first like few weeks after the video is published, but 20% is a long tail, right? And those, especially the early reviews, they live at the top of YouTube forever. So you always have to go back to those old videos to see if there are new comments, new questions. You could be losing out on sales, there could be misinformation in there. So it's important to address those comments. So, but because those videos are on other people's channels, you don't get notifications. You have to do it all manually, which is a real pain in the ass. I mean, I had my social media manager have like a whole spreadsheet of videos that have reviewed our products, and they have every like like few weeks, they have to go down the spreadsheet, sort all the comments by most recent, reply to all the it's a big pain in the butt, takes a lot of time. So, what we did is we built a software system that you could track any video on YouTube, and anytime there's new comments, it puts it all into one feed. Your social media person could uh reply to. It's called commentcompass.com. Um, and uh yeah, it's been very, very useful for us, and now we're offering it to other customers and other companies as well.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it's very useful. Those comments, yeah. It makes or break your records. I have five-star reviews on Google, right? You you should you go to a restaurant that has the highest 4.8, 4.9, and they have a thousand versus the right person's got a 3.5 with like 10 like it's goes a long way. So 100%.
SPEAKER_00:It's all about the public reputation. That's people don't trust brands anymore. They know that every and influencers, everyone can be bought.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:What people trust are other users on the internet, what they are saying. And in the reputations are made or broken in the comment section of YouTube videos. And that's what Comment Compass helps you address. It always keeps you on top of that.
