Show Notes
I went from running a student storage company out of college to owning 63 self-storage facilities, building a global team across five continents, and acquiring a multi-million dollar recruiting business. In this episode, I sat down with Will Smith and Niklas from Acquiring Minds to break down how I structure deals, why offshoring changed everything for my operations, and how I think about building in public, despite the hate that comes with it. We also talk through the tradeoffs of chasing internet fame vs. quietly building real businesses. This one goes deep.
