I genuinely feel freedom... I'd have to work 15, 16-hour day shifts in the summer because it was that busy — and now I played golf twice last week.
Background
Musa Sadi worked in hospitality management, grinding through 15- to 16-hour shifts every summer "blackout" season and already burning out before tragedy hit. In 2025 he lost his mother to brain cancer in April, then his younger brother in an accident three weeks later. He quit his job and found Vendingpreneurs while doom-scrolling YouTube at night, joining at the end of May 2025.
"It was rock bottom, and I couldn't have been in a worse space in life. I quit my job — I was just doing nothing, just depressed, doom-scrolling YouTube, and I just couldn't sleep."
The Challenge
Other paths all needed capital he didn't have, and he wasn't sure he could figure vending out alone either — he didn't know anyone in the industry to ask. Three months in, with only one machine placed, even friends and family started asking when he'd get a real job.
"A laundromat, you need a quarter of a million dollars probably to get it started; real estate, just one house, $70,000 probably, because you got to put in 20%. I didn't have a lot of money at the time, so I knew that those weren't options."
The Turning Point
He binged every video on Mike Hoffman's YouTube channel in one overnight sitting, then signed up. The doubt broke the week he told his brother and best friend he had a feeling signatures were coming — and landed five in a single week, jumping from one location to six.
"I literally jumped on Mike Hoffman's YouTube channel and that whole night I watched every single video... till like 7:00 in the morning, and then I was hooked. I was like, all right, I'm going to sign up."
Where They Are Now
By April 2026 — eleven months in — Musa closed the month at $41,000 in revenue across 26 machines and 22 locations, and has hired two employees, the first once he reached 11 machines. One location broke $4,000 in a month; a new location near a college surpassed $3,000 in its first two weeks. He recently traveled to a trade show in California and the business ran itself while he was gone.
