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 run MVP Team Pro, a managed team that gives established businesses the capacity to get done what they already know they should be doing. We do two things: follow-up, through a five-touch process we call the 5x5, and getting found by buyers and AI, through Authority Hub.
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 MVP Team Pro, a managed team that runs follow-up and content for established businesses. Our content and AI visibility work is called Authority Hub. I am the author of two business books, 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 the part of MVP Team Pro that gets a company found by buyers, Google, and AI. We work mostly with B2B operators 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. Our team handles the strategy, the technical work, and the content that puts it there.
What is MVP Team Pro?
MVP Team Pro is my company. I have run it in various forms since 2004. We are a managed team that gives established businesses the capacity to get done what they know they should be doing. We do two things. The first is follow-up: open quotes, past customers, dormant accounts, and new targets, worked through a five-touch process called the 5x5. The second is getting found, through Authority Hub. Most clients start with one and add the other.
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.
How do you book Bryan Durkin to speak?
