Starting multiple businesses, would we recommend it? // Ep. 001

Two guys building multiple businesses at once on why they did it, what it cost, and what they'd do differently. Steven Burkhart and Aaron Lavazza cover where the show's name came from, the holding company idea behind Lavazza Safety, and the construction company they started in a hurry to keep it alive. They end on opposite advice: lock in your structure before you go to market, or sell something small first and build the structure around it.
