Founder & Head Coach · Exit Momentum
I get $10M–$50M+ owners to the next level on purpose: predictable growth without more chaos, more hours, or more of you holding it all together. I built the 3D Momentum Model so your business finally runs on a system instead of on you.
Meet Cullen, in his own words.
I work best with owners of $10M, $20M, $50M-and-up companies who are genuinely great at what they do and have slammed into a level they cannot break through. Here's the picture I keep coming back to. As a kid I was obsessed with the space shuttle, I'd watch it launch and it was pure magic. But it takes one amount of propulsion just to clear the ground, and a completely different amount of lift to punch through the atmosphere and reach space. That's you. You got the thing off the ground, and that took everything. Now you're stuck at an altitude, $2M, $20M, twenty people, two products, pick your ceiling, and the lift that got you here will not get you through. That's not a flaw. That's physics. You need different propulsion. That's the entire job.
You're my kind of owner if:
Here's the truth I've watched play out in hundreds of companies: the tactics that got you here are usually the exact things holding you back now. The systems, the workarounds, the "I'll just handle it myself", those saved you once. Be grateful for them. But they are no longer the answer. They've quietly become the prison bars, because you can only see through that one lens, and it's keeping you from seeing the better way. Helping you see the better way is what I do.
The way I do it is the 3D Momentum Model, the framework I built, and the one everything at EXM runs on. Picture a triangle, because the triangle is the strongest shape there is: hit one side with pressure and the force spreads across all three, and it holds. Your business is exactly the same under the weight of growth. Three sides: Direction (your compass, where are we going, and what does winning actually look like), Design (your map, the systems, rhythm, visibility, and tracking that turn strategy into repeatable results), and Dynamic (the foundation, your people, the trust, the accountability). All three have to be solid. The degree any one side is weak is the exact degree the whole thing is one big contract away from cracking.
The whole model, every coach: every EXM coach works the full 3D Momentum Model: Direction, Design, and Dynamic. Cullen built all three sides of the model, so he goes straight to wherever the business is actually cracking. What he always brings: visibility and accountability. See the 3D Momentum Model →
I'm Cullen Talley, the founder and visionary behind Exit Momentum. Helping owners grow with clarity and direction is the work I genuinely believe I was put here to do, but understand, I'm not coaching from theory. Between growing my own companies and walking alongside our clients, I've been in your shoes thousands of times: the chaos, the overwhelm, the hunger for more, and that quiet fear that you'll either never reach your potential, or you will, and you'll have sacrificed too much to get there. I know that one personally.
Here's the operator track record, because you should know exactly who you're trusting with your business. I was part of the small Firethorn startup team that was acquired by Qualcomm for about $220M. My role was helping prove the business model by closing top-100 bank deals, and I participated personally from an equity standpoint. I served as COO of a $20M company. Since 2019 I've trained hundreds of businesses on the Exit Momentum method, and the system I built now coaches over a billion dollars in active revenue. I've helped clients exit for industry-leading multiples and raise outside capital, and still walk away with their lives intact on the other side of the deal. I'm a former Certified EOS Implementer and a Scaling Up Certified Coach, so I know the off-the-shelf systems cold. That's exactly why I built something more adaptable than any of them.
