In this episode of Nice to Meet You for a Reason, Rob Pene sits down with Lexson Mathieu — former undefeated pro boxer, NABF champion, and serial acquisitions entrepreneur who built and sold a multi-million-dollar trucking empire before turning 27.
Lexson takes us through the wild arc of his last few years: leaving Canada during COVID with nothing but a backpack, putting his entire net worth into crypto to escape financial restrictions, making $50,000 in his first week as a crypto investor, and then walking away from speculation to buy real businesses.
You'll hear the unfiltered story of how he made 10,000 cold calls to land his first deal, why his first acquisition took a year and a half (and what he had to fix to close), and how he eventually closed five acquisitions in 18 months — including the ”sell-lease-back” maneuver that pulled $300K out of a deal in two weeks.
This is a masterclass in M&A for anyone curious about how people actually buy businesses without their own money, build banking relationships from scratch, and structure deals where the asset finances itself.
We also get into the deeper stuff: why money stopped being the goal, how faith reshaped his vision, and his next move — building a roll-up empire in Africa while planting ”a thousand seeds” through Bible study.
What You'll Learn:
- Why Lexson left pro boxing at the top of his career
- How he used crypto as a financial escape hatch during COVID
- The exact selling and negotiation framework that unlocked his first deal
- How he financed a $5.4M acquisition with two banks and no personal income
- The ”sell-lease-back” strategy that pulls cash out of acquired assets
- Why he gave away 49% equity — and what he'd do differently now
- Why his next empire is being built in Africa, not North America
- The role faith plays in his definition of long-term success
