ENTREPRENEUR. SPEAKER. AUTHOR. OPERATOR.
Real Experience. Practical Perspective.
I’ve been building and selling businesses since the late 1990s. In 1997, I co-founded a tech services company. We grew it from 1,500 to more than 300,000 transactions a day, and from two US employees to 26, plus more than 200 remote workers.
Today, I own and run two home services businesses: an interior design company, and a boutique concierge that helps home services companies run better marketing operations through MVP Team Pro. I spend my time helping business owners solve real problems and grow with practical, people-powered strategies.
I’m also the host of The Authority and Innovation Podcast, a published author, and a frequent speaker on entrepreneurship, leadership, and the future of work. My goal is simple: share what I’ve learned, help others avoid costly mistakes, and create more freedom through better systems and teams.

FAQ
Questions people ask before they reach out
Who is Bryan Durkin?
I am the founder of Authority Hub, a done-for-you content and answer engine optimization agency for B2B operators, and of MVP Team Pro, a remote staffing and marketing support company I have run for eighteen years. I am the author of two books on building referral driven businesses, and I host The Authority and Innovation Podcast. I have been building remote teams since 1997 and am based in Southwest Florida.
What does Bryan Durkin speak about?
I speak on building business authority, generating referrals, and getting found in an AI-first world, where buyers check you on Google or ChatGPT before they ever agree to a meeting. My talks draw on more than $275 million in contracts I personally sold to Fortune 100 companies, thirty years of building remote teams, and the referral systems in my two books. Audiences are typically business owners, sales teams, and industry associations.
What books has Bryan Durkin written?
I have written two business books that use baseball as their framework. Stuck on First: The 9 Positions of a Playoff Ready Business covers the nine roles a business needs filled to move past being stuck. Scoring with Referrals: The Power of a Linked Network covers how to build a referral network that generates business consistently instead of by accident.
What is Authority Hub?
Authority Hub is my agency at mvpauthorityhub.com. We build authority and AI visibility for B2B operators, generally in the $1 million to $25 million range, with a focus on industrial and trades businesses. The problem we solve is simple: when a prospect looks you up after a call, an email, or a letter, there needs to be something credible for them to find. We handle the content and the answer engine optimization that puts it there.
What is MVP Team Pro?
MVP Team Pro is my remote staffing and marketing support company, which I have run for eighteen years. We staff business owners with vetted remote talent for marketing and back-office work. It operates as a standalone service, so you can work with MVP Team Pro without being an Authority Hub client.
What podcast does Bryan Durkin host?
I host The Authority and Innovation Podcast. The show covers how business owners build authority and visibility, with a focus on how AI is changing the way buyers find and evaluate companies. The show was previously published as the Driveway Marketing Podcast, and the full back catalog of more than fifty episodes is available in the same feed.
Who does Bryan Durkin work with?
I work primarily with B2B business owners and operators, most often in industrial, trades, and technical services companies in the $1 million to $25 million range. These are usually owners who are good at what they do and well regarded by their customers, but effectively invisible when a new prospect goes looking for them online.
