GeneratinalTBS and Network Partners

Meet our Founder: Bryan Powers

My journey with GenerationalTBS is deeply inspired by the legacy of resilience and ambition handed down by my parents. They overcame humble beginnings to build a multi-million dollar business that created opportunities that will benefit generations, motivating me to help others build their own paths to generational wealth.

With over 25 years of hands-on experience across diverse sectors—such as the music industry, restaurants, concert promotions, real estate investing, insurance, and retail startups, I’ve developed a unique perspective on what drives success, along with valuable lessons to help clients avoid common pitfalls. Additionally, over 20 years in franchising, sales, and business consulting have shown me how strategic decisions can turn ideas into enduring legacies.

At GenerationalTBS, I leverage this wealth of experience to guide entrepreneurs, accredited investors & business owners in creating sustainable, wealth-generating businesses or, if preferred, passive income streams for life while safeguarding wealth for future generations to build upon.

Let’s transform your vision into a lasting legacy.
