"The 4% Code is the kind of book today’s business owners need: clear, honest, and grounded in real-world experience. Jeshua understands that trust drives growth, and he shows entrepreneurs how to build a marketing engine to connect more effectively.”

“Too many entrepreneurs treat marketing as a series of ad hoc, disconnected activities. In The 4% Code, Jeshua reframes marketing as an integral part of a business operating system designed to help businesses scale. Drawing on real-world experience and sound business principles, Jeshua provides a clear framework that will resonate with growth-minded leaders.”

—Verne Harnish,

Founder of EO and Author of Scaling Up

“The 4% Code gives growing companies what they desperately need but rarely have, a clear path to align strategy with a marketing engine that actually scales. Jeshua brings real-world experience as a Scaling Up advisor and shows entrepreneurs how to fuel growth with discipline, simplicity, and focus.”
