At twenty-one years old I bought a twenty-million-dollar company. By accident.

I did not have the money, I did not have the experience, and I certainly did not have a plan. What I had was nerve, a few relationships, and a willingness to say yes before I understood what I was saying yes to. It worked out, and it taught me more about deals, leverage, and people than any classroom ever could.

In this episode I walk you back through exactly how it happened, and then I do something more useful: I show you how to do the same thing on purpose. How businesses actually change hands. Where the money comes from when the buyer does not have it. Why the owner of a solid, boring company is often more willing to sell to you than you think.

It is more achievable than you have been told. Let my accident be your purpose.
