Clint Aragona, 47, from West Virginia, discovered his passion for fitness through martial arts. While competitive fitness wasn’t his calling, he pursued a career as a trainer, owning his first gym by age 25 and expanding his business to include five coffee shops and two gyms by 27. He later sold the coffee shops to focus on fitness marketing, launching a viral referral system called My Friends Go Free in 2012. Although the system struggled initially, it laid the foundation for future success. After acquiring a software company specializing in marketing tools for teams, Clint launched a viral affiliate program that attracted 150,000 free users and generated $1 million in revenue within six weeks. Inspired by this achievement, he shifted his focus back to fitness marketing, introducing Max Members AI in 2020. This platform leverages artificial intelligence to help fitness clubs grow memberships through improved lead management, communication, and personalized training. Clint and his team continue to innovate, utilizing AI tools like ChatGPT to enhance the member experience and explore new possibilities for the fitness industry. He remains passionate about the transformative potential of AI in revolutionizing fitness and member engagement.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
