# Meet James & Jason — Two Regular Guys Who Figured It Out

No silver spoons. No trust funds. Just hard work, a proven system, and a mission to help others succeed.

## James Bonadies

Co-Founder & CEO

James spent 13 years in public education as a business education teacher and vice principal, holding an MBA. In 2014, he made the leap into entrepreneurship.

Like many, he tried affiliate marketing, MLMs, and Amazon FBA — wasting thousands of dollars and countless hours. Then he discovered lead generation for local businesses, and everything changed.

Today, James co-runs an 8-figure coaching business and still actively operates his own marketing agency, teaching what he does every single day — not theory.

## Jason McKim

Co-Founder & CMO

Jason is an Air Force veteran and former financial consultant. He got into digital marketing while working for a law firm, mastering SEO before pivoting to paid traffic.

He started his own agency, became an expert in Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and funnel building, and eventually partnered with James to create Local Marketing Vault.

Jason brings the tactical genius — he's the one who builds the ad campaigns, writes the scripts, and creates the done-for-you resources that LMV students use every day.

## Why We Built Local Marketing Vault

We've been burned by gurus too. We've bought the courses that promised the world and delivered nothing. We know what it's like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and skeptical.

That's exactly why we built Local Marketing Vault — to be the program we wished existed when we were starting out. No fluff, no hype, no outdated theory. Just a real, proven business model backed by a community that actually cares.

We still run our own agencies to this day. We teach what we actively do. And we show up every single week to coach our students live.
