John Lawson, founder of 3rd Power Outlet and ColderIce Media, started his first business while still in high school. Later in life, John discovered how profitable online selling could be, and his company 3PO was born. Just five years later, it brought in $1 million in sales. To date, 3PO’s 300,000-plus transactions have garnered more than $25 million.

Mixergy calls Lawson a “power seller.” American Express hawks him as their “featured businessman.” Startup Nation says he’s the “savviest” in social media, and Small Biz Trends named him “Influencer of the Year.” He is an award-winning social media strategist, spokesperson for several corporations, commercial television personality, and a sought-after keynote speaker and instructor.
