From The Desk of Greg Bunch
Dear Shop Owner,
Greg Bunch and the Transformers Institute team have worked with hundreds of successful shop owners, helping them break through the ceiling of complexity that comes with running multi-location operations. Many owners hit a plateau where growth is no longer the goal—true business mastery is.
Platinum One was built for leaders who want more than just revenue growth—they want:
Enterprise-level strategy to increase profitability, efficiency, and long-term valuation.
A leadership team that can run the business without them.
Mergers & acquisitions, private equity, and succession planning expertise.
Refined operational efficiency at scale.
This mastermind is the elite boardroom of the most successful shop owners in the country.
Key Learning Topics
The Leader Mindset Shift — getting out of day-to-day operations and into strategic leadership
Team development — hiring, delegating, and trusting the best people to run your locations
Financial positioning for growth or exit — tax strategy, M&A readiness, and private equity conversations
Multi-store expansion strategy — timing, location selection, and funding decisions
Exit planning — Preparing for exit strategies or long-term self-sustaining growth.
Who Should Enroll?
Business owners
Business owners looking to step out of daily operations and focus on growth strategy.
Who Should Enroll
Platinum One is for multi-store owners generating $8M to $25M+ who've already figured out how to scale — but now you're facing a different set of problems. Your challenge isn't opening more locations. It's optimizing the ones you have, building a leadership team you can actually trust, and positioning the business for either a strategic exit or completely autonomous operation.
This room is for owners who are done being the highest-paid technician, service writer, or even general manager across multiple shops. You're ready to operate at the CEO level, making decisions about enterprise value, M&A opportunities, and long-term wealth strategy — not fixing scheduling conflicts or approving PTO requests.
If you're still deeply involved in day-to-day operations, if you're not ready to invest serious time and money into this level of development, or if you're looking for someone to hand you a playbook instead of working through complex problems with peers at your level — this isn't your room yet. But if you're ready to be in the room with the shop owners who've built what you're building and are solving the exact problems you're facing right now, this is where that work happens.
Shop Owners Investing in Their Team
If you want to develop a high-performing shop and equip your foremen with the leadership, business, and operational expertise needed for growth, this mastermind is the ultimate training ground.
