Agel Company

Glen the Insomniac

In the wee hours one morning in November 2004, Glen Jensen lay awake. He
was about to become the founder and CEO of Agel. But he didn’t know it. At that moment, all he knew was that his wheels were turning.

Inspiration was taking shape. He was thinking about vitamins… minerals… pills and capsules that stick in your throat… gag… but, then, athletes pound little packets of energy-blasting gel… yeah, all carbs… forget the carbs… just vitamins and minerals… in instant-delivery gel form. Gelceuticals.

It was like somebody turned on the light. Glen sprung out of bed. He searched the Internet. And amazingly enough, no one else was doing it. Glen had a 'why didn’t they think of this before?' product, and because he knew network marketing inside and out, he had the vehicle to get that product to the most consumers in the shortest amount of time.

Glen had seen it all—pills, lotions, juices, creams, elixirs. Every trend gave way to the next new thing. But even when there was a successful, top-selling formulation, there was always an underlying question: Are people actually getting the nutrients they need—nutrients that will improve their health?

Every product had good intentions: a few pills here, a glass of juice there, and the hope of a healthy tomorrow. But pills get bothersome, bioavailability is always a question, and glass bottles are hardly portable. Glen racked his brain for something better. He found it.

Entirely original, the Gelceuticals market is an untapped arena of wellness. At Agel, better is the only option. We believe in a good night’s rest—just not while inspiration is flowing.

One paragraph can change an industry

Our best mission statements are found in our actions. A company can engage its customers. Culture is built one idea at a time. Wellness is a lifestyle. Grassroots has nothing to do with lawn care. Independence is not solitude. Our lives will never be the same.

A Global Contender

It sounded crazy—requesting a meeting with a venture capital company on little more than an idea. But Agel founders Glen Jensen and Craig Bradley went for it.

Their soon-to-be investor, a group that lends millions every year to help established companies grow, was not accustomed to listening to start-up pitches. In fact, they never had. But there’s a first time for everything. And after 15 minutes of the Gelceutical story, they wanted in.

Agel was different. This wasn’t your everyday “my pills are better than your pills” gig. Agel was fresh. A rare, innovative Glen Jensen brainchild. A 2 a.m. epiphany. Gelceuticals. The concept was too unique. Glen and Craig were too experienced. It was clear that this could be the next big thing.

Agel’s launch changed history. Never before had any direct sales company conducted its first day of business in so many countries simultaneously.

“Was it crazy? Absolutely. Were there bumps? Yes,” recalls Agel President Craig Bradley. “But it changed the industry and ensured that the world would know that Agel was first to market the Gelceuticals concept.”

Only a launch this gutsy could bring the astonishing sales Agel pulled off: multi-millions in the very first month. That was May 2005, and sales—and new markets—have been growing ever since.

Agel now operates in over a dozen countries, spanning four continents. From our executives to our leaders to our funding, only one word can describe us: solid. We’ve teamed up with the best, most committed individuals and organizations around the world.

Agel is more than a company, more than a product, more than an opportunity. Agel is a lifestyle. It’s a culture. It’s you.

GLEN JENSEN: inspiration + insomnia = ingenuity

CEO

Glen Jensen can’t sleep. He doesn’t suffer from insomnia. He doesn’t even drink coffee. Glen just has too many ideas. You could say his problem is inspiration overload. Most people would sacrifice a little ingenuity for some peace and quiet. Glen, on the other hand, embraces his warp-speed creativity. He is an entrepreneur extraordinaire.

Glen has built his entire career in network marketing. He has developed and managed several companies, and he has immense knowledge of developing and cultivating business opportunities in domestic and foreign markets. He knows how to build revenue. Glen has built successful organizations in Japan (he’s lived there and he speaks the language), Asia, Europe, Russia, and at home in the U.S.

But don’t let his business acumen intimidate you. Glen is an insightful leader, committed to generating real rewards for real people. For Glen, true success comes when individuals work together as a team, supporting one another’s goals. “I love network marketing,” he says, “because it speaks to the heart of the human spirit. Unlike any other business, it fosters a sense of caring and a desire to see others succeed. You can’t be selfish and make it in this industry. Agel is the finest representation of this spirit the industry has ever seen.”

CRAIG BRADLEY: a passion for others’ success

President

A decade and a half of network marketing, and Craig Bradley’s just getting started. He was raised in a family of entrepreneurs and learned the basics of business building at an early age. Craig thrives on building successful businesses. It’s his specialty.

Craig has co-owned a multimillion-dollar specialty advertising company and he served as vice president of North American sales for a multimillion-dollar nutritional company. He knows business and he knows networking. Now he’s implementing the sum of his knowledge in the form of Agel.

Craig’s passion is creating opportunities that foster an individual’s ability to succeed. He finds real rewards in working side by side with those who are committed to making a difference in their own lives and an in the lives of those they encounter.

DARREN JENSEN

COO

Darren Jensen has always wanted to be in deep behind enemy lines on a top-secret mission for Special Ops. Well, he is Agel’s Director of Operations, and we think he’s pretty special. So we hope that will suffice.

Darren is a network marketing Renaissance Man. Throughout his 15 years of experience in the industry, Darren’s held vital management positions in business development departments, international marketing teams, product development panels, and, of course, operations.

Darren says his philosophy is simple, “innovation no longer exists. If everyone claims to be ‘innovative’, what’s innovative about that? Great opportunities are now created through smart, realistic plans that improve on what’s been done before.”

TOBY NORTON

Director of Sales

Toby Norton is bald, but he brings 10 years of solid sales and marketing experience to Agel. An entrepreneur himself, Toby’s developed key marketing strategies and solid sales tactics that consistently skyrocketed his revenues.

Most recently, Toby worked at the ClassicStar headquarters in Centerville, Utah. ClassicStar is a pioneering thoroughbred breeding and racing company. He lead the over 70 individuals of the Sales and Marketing Department and set new standards for the industry. Through his efforts, Toby helped grow ClassicStar to a $180 million a year operation.

What do horses have to do with nutrition? Absolutely nothing. But like a lot of us, Toby wanted a change. He craves a fresh approach to marketing and believes there is no better way to own and develop an individual business than through network marketing. “There’s nothing better than to wake up every morning knowing that your day’s work is building something long term for yourself and your family. And really, I shave my head, that’s all.”

BRENT JENSEN

Director of International Sales

For the past 15 years Brent has visited nation after nation, building businesses worldwide. At the Burton Group, Brent handled all international and federal business development for over 4 years. At ProMedix and the Associates Commercial Corporation, he served as National Sales Director. Next, while at a billion-dollar network marketing company, Brent was a Manager for an International Marketing and Product Development Team for another 4 years.

Brent's passion is found in helping enhance the lifestyles of the people who live in countries with less prosperity than ours. “To see people abroad achieve their wildest dreams is what makes sitting on airplanes and eating miniscule bags of peanuts totally worthwhile.”
