How I Raised Twenty Million to Take Control of a Fifty Million Dollar Company
mercredi 17 décembre 2025 • Duration 19:52
Tom and I talk about the moment I turned down a multimillion dollar cash-out offer and instead decided to raise twenty million dollars and buy control of Somewhere.com. I walk through how that deal came together, how I borrowed nine million from the founder, structured the investor tranches, and rebuilt the leadership team while still running Bolt Storage and RE Cost Seg. We get into why I believed the company could become a publicly traded business and how my media brand helped me raise over forty million for storage, somewhere and other deals. I also explain how I split my time across multiple companies, why I spend 350k a year on my personal media team, and how building a brand on X completely accelerated my career. This episode is about unreasonable ambition, calculated risk and making moves even when nobody gives you permission.

How I Pulled Off a $52M Acquisition | with Acquiring Minds
dimanche 14 décembre 2025 • Duration 01:41:01
This is the full conversation I had with Will Smith and Niklas James on the Acquiring Minds podcast in April of 2025. We broke down how I bought Somewhere.com, how I run my real estate private equity firm, and how I leverage offshore talent to scale revenue while saving costs.
We discussed how I think about building teams, why sales is the foundation of all businesses, and why buying a company isn't a shortcut, it's a challenge most people aren't ready for.If you're thinking about buying a business, this episode will show you the side of acquisitions people rarely talk about.
Big thanks to Will Smith for having me on, follow him here:

Also shoutout to Niklas James from Minds Capital for co-hosting this conversation with Will.

In the intro, I mentioned that you should check out this episode from Acquiring Minds that came out just before Thanksgiving, episode 407 with Linh Tran. He quit corporate, bought a small HVAC business, scaled it, and now makes over $5M a year with a CEO running it for him. It's a really good episode:

I sat down with Shawn Nelson to talk about what it really takes to build something that lasts. We covered everything from spotting talent in the wild to shaking every tree to raise capital. I share the story of recruiting one of my best hires in a freezing Walmart parking lot and how that same mindset applies to building wealth through sweaty startups.
