Rod Thurley – Business Builder. Limit-Pusher. Off-Road Champ. Clarity Dealer.
Rod Thurley isn’t your average coach—and he definitely didn’t get here reading business books by the beach. He built a business through a recession that wiped out nearly three-quarters of the industry, scaled it 10X in four years, and then retired at 49 just to prove you can live your dream and still be home in time for dinner (or dirt biking).
Oh yeah—he also won a National Championship in off-road motorcycling. So when he talks about navigating tough terrain at high speeds, he means it literally and metaphorically.
Rod has spent his life doing what others said couldn’t be done—and now he helps high-performing leaders do the same. Whether you're leading a multi-million-dollar company or figuring out what’s next at 3 am, Rod’s here to walk with you—challenging your thinking, sharpening your strategy, and lighting a fire under what matters most.

You're Here for a Reason.
You're not on this site by accident. Something brought you here — maybe you're looking for a coach or a group, maybe you're tired of going it alone, or maybe you're standing at the edge of a big decision and need someone to help you take the leap.
Whatever it is, you're ready for more.
More clarity.
More growth.
More impact.
You’ve come to the right place. But here’s the truth: you’ve got to want it. I can guide you, challenge you, and support you — but I can’t want it more than you do.
So, let’s find out if we’re the right fit. No pressure, no pitch — just a real conversation. Let’s sit down for coffee or jump on a Zoom. In 60 minutes, we’ll both know if this is the right move.
No cost. No strings. Just clarity.
If it’s not right, no harm done.
But if it is… everything can change.

Limited Availability
Two Openings. One Life-Changing Opportunity.
Every year, I offer just two leaders the chance to work with me one-on-one. If you're ready to break through the barriers holding you back and finally take your life and business to the next level, this could be your moment.
Here’s what you can expect:
- We’ll meet twice a month for 90-minute sessions—in person once and via Zoom or phone for the other.
- Twice a year, we’ll do deep-dive strategy sessions that run 3 to 5 hours to ensure your goals are aligned and progress stays on track.
- Throughout, I’ll be there as your coach, partner, and most of all, your accountability compass—holding you to the changes and growth you committed to. No fluff, no excuses, just results.
This isn’t for everyone—it’s for leaders who are serious about showing up for themselves and their businesses, and who know success requires real work, honest conversations, and the kind of support that transforms ambition into reality.
With just two spots available, you don’t want to miss your chance. If this speaks to you, let’s connect and make sure you claim one of those life-changing opportunities.
