Startups Spencer's Founded
How it all started...
Born and raised in the small town of Bayard, Nebraska, Spencer McMurtry began his entrepreneurial ventures at the age of 15, selling temporary airbrush tattoos at fairs and festivals. By senior year of high school, he bought himself a brand new BMW. When he graduated, he opted for the less traditional path of entrepreneurship over attending university.
Infinite Graphics
The move paid off. In 2008, Spencer started a sign and vehicle wrap company called Infinite Graphics, and just 3 years after graduation, he built it to be the largest sign company in the region and eventually sold it. Spencer's rapid success earned him a promotion as an instructor at a business school.
Striking Wraps
After selling Infinite Graphics, Spencer wanted to replicate his former companies successes in a more technological and scalable manner. Through his automations and help from overseas assistants, the business could operate entirely online. He implemented marketing campaigns to gain significant market share and became the largest vehicle graphics provider for Culligan Water Franchises. Striking Wraps was sold in December 2015 to a Fortune 500 company.
Society of Mastermind
Spencer then became an executive instructor of an entrepreneurship group called The Secret Society Mastermind. During his stint as an instructor, he embarked on a journey across the United States and the world, meeting like-minded entrepreneurs in Greece, South Africa, and Bulgaria.
The Systems Method
Ultimately, Infinite Graphics and Striking Wraps taught him the importance of building systems, while his time as a business school and mastermind instructor trained him to be an efficient communicator. Combining the two, he founded a consulting business, The Systems Method, where he coaches some of the world's top executives in various industries. While he enjoyed 1-on-1 coaching and consulting, Spencer wanted to build a more scalable system.
PlanningCommunity.org
After studying rigorous analytical data, he determined that the demographic requiring the most guidance were individuals approaching retirement as they embarked on a new and unknown chapter of their lives. As such, Planning Community was born to provide those who are nearing retirement a free platform to gain exclusive access and advice from like-minded people and professionals.
In his free time, Spencer enjoys hiking and traveling. He has lived in places like Cape Town, Denver & Chiang Mai.

I Would Highly Recommend Spencer And The Planning Community. I have been working with the Planning Community for about six months now. I would highly recommend Spencer and the Planning Community. Spencer has done everything he promised to do, and he is always looking for ways to improve on his offerings. The work he does is done correctly and with integrity. I think for lawyers looking at ways to differentiate themselves, The Planning Community is a great way to do so.
