Earnings disclaimer
Last updated: November 13, 2026
This page is part of the terms of use for JorgeOlson.com, the Jorge Talks newsletter and, when they are switched on, the AI assistants that answer for the site.
The short version
The results I describe on this site are mine. They are not typical, they are not what you should expect, and they are not a promise of anything. I do not guarantee that you will make any money, or any amount of money, from anything I write, say, teach or build.
My results are my own
On this site I describe things I have done: distribution companies in the United States and Mexico, a San Diego distributor grown from five hundred accounts to seventeen thousand, a distribution and export company grown with my partner Sandro Piancone to a hundred million dollars in sales, more than a thousand products, a product in four thousand Walgreens stores, and five companies taken public.
Read those numbers for what they are:
- They took decades. They came from thirty years in business, with specific partners, capital, markets, products and timing that you will not have in the same form.
- Sales are not income. A hundred million dollars in sales is revenue across a company and its years, not profit and not what I took home.
- Some came with partners and teams. Where a result belongs to a company or a partnership, it is not mine alone.
- Some ventures failed or lost money. The site describes what worked. It does not list every business that did not.
- Taking a company public is not a measure of its value or of investor returns. Nothing on the site says how any public company performed for its shareholders.
Most people who start a beverage or consumer goods brand do not reach these numbers. Many lose money. I do not have data on what readers, attendees or clients typically earn, so I do not claim any typical result.
What this covers
Books. My books teach what I learned. Reading them does not produce a result. What you do with them, and your market, money and timing, decide that.
Talks and workshops. A keynote, workshop or working day gives you ideas and, in hands-on sessions, practice building AI agents. It does not guarantee any sale, saving or income for you or your company.
The newsletter. Jorge Talks is commentary and education. It is not investment, business, legal or tax advice for your situation, and no issue is a promise that a strategy will work for you.
Consulting, advisory, coaching and expert calls. When I work with you, I give my best judgment. You make the decisions and carry the risk. Any engagement is under a separate written agreement, and no engagement includes a promise of revenue, profit, funding, distribution, retail placement or any other outcome unless that agreement says so in writing and in specific terms.
The CPG Life App, the Guz.ai lab and the AI tools. Software and AI agents can save time and help you work. They can also be wrong. They do not guarantee sales, rankings, traffic, leads, ad returns or funding. Any cost, score or result shown in a lab run is for that run, on that brand, at that time.
The AI chat and phone assistants, when they are on. They give general information only. Nothing they say is a promise of results or income, and nothing they say about my record is a prediction of yours.
No investment returns
Nothing on this site, in my books, talks, letter or AI tools describes or predicts returns from any fund or company. My role as Managing Partner of CPG Life Fund I is stated as a role only. It is not an offer of any security, and it says nothing about how any investment will perform. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Testimonials and examples
If this site ever shows a testimonial, a client story or a case study:
- it will be a real person’s honest experience, used with their written permission, and never written or generated by AI or by me in their name;
- if it describes a result, it will either be what people generally achieve, or it will say clearly, next to it, what people generally achieve. Where I do not know what is typical, it will say that;
- if the person was paid, given something of value, or has a business or family connection with me, that will be disclosed next to the testimonial.
Today the site shows no client testimonials.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for your own decisions and their results. Before you put money into a brand, a business or an investment, do your own research and talk to your own accountant, lawyer and financial adviser.
