I’m very excited to share this week’s interview with Raj Kankaria.
It is an absolute roller coaster involving layoffs, divorce, rappers, a quarter life crisis, and Raj buying a $1.3M / year business with 100% seller financing.
Here’s a sneak peak:
Raj was a former army vet who had gotten a job at Citi Bank as an investment banker.
He had just been laid off.
He was in the middle of a messy divorce.
And one day, he opened the door to a process server who handed him his divorce papers.
Out of curiosity, Raj asked the man how much he made for every delivery.
The answer: Over $100 per delivery
So, Raj started digging in…and 18 months later, with a lot of twists and turns along the way, Raj ended up OWNING a company that did exactly that.
But it gets crazier:
💡Raj ended up negotiating a 100% seller financed deal (after his SBA loan fell through)
💡He ended up building the biggest litigation support company in Harris County. With $1.3M in revenue. 1000+ contractor network. And a recession-proof business model.
💡 And before all that, Raj actually spent over a year working as a process server himself. (And he shares advice on why this was pivotal to his success later on)
