A successful serial entrepreneur, John Friess of Journey Gym is confident, yet unassuming, giving the credit for his business successes to peer mentoring, which can be found in groups such as Starve Ups.

In addition to Starve Ups, John is also active in other Portland area entrepreneur organizations. He is on the judging panel at this week’s Startup Weekend PDX.

After several iterations, Journey Gym’s product is selling like hotcakes. You can find it at JourneyGym.com.
