Would-be social media influencers and branding experts often search for the secret to going viral. But where most efforts fall short is exactly where entrepreneur Robert Gilbert steps in. Known as the Ultimate Fixer, Gilbert doesn’t chase fleeting trends—he builds movements.
Gilbert understands that people crave authenticity. His strategy taps into that desire by helping brands form real connections with their audience. Through ventures like MSH Enterprises and LUXE Empire Agency, Gilbert has turned startup chaos into multi-million-dollar empires. His approach is clear: create systems, build strong teams, and guide businesses toward sustainable success.
A true business architect, Gilbert has helped scale companies in food, tech, and retail industries, contributing to over $4 billion in combined revenue. One of his standout ventures, MSH Enterprises, initially struggled to connect with its audience. By leaning into community-driven social commerce, they raised over $500K in just 60 days via StartEngine, transforming MSH into a viral food sensation.
Gilbert’s most recent move is as a partner at Podstarz.net, a cutting-edge platform revolutionizing how podcasts book celebrity guests. The platform offers scheduling tools, interactive interview features, and secure payments—streamlining the process for podcasters and guests alike. Gilbert’s role signals yet another bold step in the growing media-tech space.
After the success of MSH Enterprises, Gilbert launched LUXE Empire Agency, an organization that connects brands with creators, talent, and storytelling that inspires cultural moments. Whether he’s working with startups or celebrity clients, Gilbert’s mission is the same: step into the chaos, create structure, and build legendary brands.
Tim Storey, the acclaimed motivational speaker known for mentoring the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Kanye West, said it best: “Robert, you’re doing a great job for me… You are the ULTIMATE FIXER.”
But Gilbert’s road hasn’t been easy. Many companies he steps into lack sales systems or clear team structure. What sets him apart is his ability to quickly diagnose and fix the core issues—restoring clarity, alignment, and vision. One of his most powerful tools is authenticity. He recalls a simple TikTok Live session with Jacoby Ray where they grilled BBQ and chatted like friends. That unfiltered moment resonated, helping them connect deeply with their audience.
Looking ahead, Gilbert has joined Patriot Tactical, an American brand known for premium knives and combat training seminars. Alongside founder Michael Harper and icon Doug Marcaida, Gilbert will lead the company’s expansion across retail, influencer marketing, and digital strategy.
As founder of LUXE Empire Agency and a partner in ventures like MSH, Podstarz.net, and Patriot Tactical, Gilbert remains committed to his calling: fixing what’s broken and scaling brands into household names. Whether it’s food, media, or tech, the Ultimate Fixer is just getting started.
