  • Changed directions

    I actually used to love the show but somehow it went from SME’s to all things tech and aviation.

  • Somehow, he’s figured it out

    I don’t believe ownership mindset can be taught, but somehow Alex figured out a great way to help us all become better owners

  • Outstanding Content

    This is one of my favorite business podcasts. As I scale up my own small business into the $1M EBITDA range, it’s great to learn from other businesses that have been where I am today.

    One of my favorite discussions was with Chris Hoffman and his approach to building a closely held family owned home service company and scaling it to over $100M in a decade.

    It contrasts nicely with some of the PE conversations and M&A discussions you can find here.

    Keep up the great content.
