Testimonials

"Kory Michell has provided counsel to me over the years on strategic initiatives, M&A opportunities, and advice on business trends through lived experiences. They consistently demonstrate deep industry knowledge and the kind of honest and straightforward feedback that has built both trust and friendship. When Kory offers advice, you know it's coming from someone who has been in your shoes and had emerged successfully. I would recommend them without hesitation to any business owner looking for guidance that's both strategically sound and grounded in real-world experience." 

“I have had the privilege of working with Kory for over a decade, and now the rest of the Iconic team. Our initial connection came through our shared background in the construction industry, but I quickly realized the value he brings is so much more. Kory and the Iconic team understand what it takes to grow and scale a business because they have done it. Their integrity, honesty, and deep expertise set them apart from other advisors. They approach every conversation with a clear set of values and genuine care for the people he helps. I highly recommend Iconic Founders Group to any Founder who wants an experienced and trustworthy guide.” 

“I was introduced to Kory through a mutual connection, and it didn’t take long to see his drive and authenticity. Instead of a typical office meeting or a beer, our first follow up was a ruck (a walk carry a heavily weighted backpack). We talked about family, health, and self-improvement. That’s who Kory is: real, relatable, and grounded in blue collar roots. He has a way of making challenges that feel out of reach as a Founder seem achievable, and his insights stick with you long after the conversation."

"Kory and the Iconic team have consistently impressed me with their depth of experience. What sets them apart is how in tune they are with the real needs of a business. They have an exceptional ability to translate those needs into strong operational strategies and to help build the kind of sophisticated back-end infrastructure that truly supports growth. Their insights are both practical and forward-thinking, making them a tremendous resource for any team looking to elevate their business.”
