Flagg spent four years during his adolescence living and travelling Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, England, Italy and Romania, Bulgaria & Hungary—with stops in Israel, Lebanon, Cyprus, Morocco, Egypt and Jordan. This early exposure to multiple cultures and religions allowed young Kale Flagg to develop a global perspective, learn multiple languages and afforded him the chance to know many people of extremely diverse economic and financial circumstances; plus affording the chance to make lifelong friends across the globe.

Early Career

Kale Flagg graduated from Yale University in 1989 with a degree in Economics and Political Science. In 1991, as an Independent Business Owner with National Safety Associates (NSA), J. Kale Flagg earned his first national recognition in sales as a National Marketing Director for this $200mm/year firm. After NSA, Flagg went on to become the #3 Top Money Earner and Senior Sales Trainer for Equinox International where he helped the company achieve star status as Inc. Magazine’s #1 fastest growing privately held company in the United States in their Top 500 list.

In 1997, Kale Flagg left Equinox, along with approximately 19 of the other Top 20 Money Earners, and co-founded Trek Alliance, Inc. with three partners.  After two years of extensive tutelage at the feet of his CEO-of-35+-years father (Harry Flagg was founder & CEO of the publicly traded multi-million-dollar industry-creating icon Telecheck International in the 1960’s & 1970’s), Kale became CEO of Trek Alliance where he oversaw the company’s operations and helped service, train and grow their approximate 65,000+ sales organization of Independent Business Owners (IBOs).  While CEO, J. Kale Flagg continued to conduct extensive, recurrent sales, management and personal growth training seminars for groups of up to 15,000 independent business owners across the United States.

Mr. Flagg and Mr. and Mrs. Von Alvensleben, then officers of Trek Alliance, Inc., were among others, defendants in an action captioned FTC VS. Trek Alliance, Inc. et al, filed in December 2002 in United States District Court, Central District of California Case No. CV-02-9270.  Trek operated a multi-level marketing company that offered distributorships for independent contractors to market and sell various products.  The FTC alleged that the business of Trek violated the FTC Act and sought injunctive relief and money damages as consumer redress. The defendants vigorously denied the charges. On December 14th, 2005 the FTC, Mr. Flagg and Mr. and Mrs. Von Alvensleben each entered a Stipulated Final Order that settled all claims filed against them without finding of any guilt or liability for the charges asserted.  All obligations required under such settlements were fully performed.

Asked about the FTC litigation, Flagg has the following to say: “In my everyday business life, I talk about the FTC litigation openly.  It is something that’s really had a big impact on making me the man that I am today— it’s my truth and my reference point— it’s changed me forever— and it really has made me a much, much better person and businessman then I ever was before.  The learning, experience and perspective gained has been unequaled by anything else in my life to date.  I definitely wouldn’t want to re-live it, but the end reality is that the battle transformed me into 10x the businessperson I ever was before.”

Since 2002, Flagg has focused his professional interests in real estate, investments, operations and start-ups (he has been the COO or CEO of firms in travel, solar, the medical industry, consumer-goods, retail and residential and commercial real estate development).
