0:00.0	Last week you and I talked about the fact that Ralph Lauren is not normal.
0:03.4	Well, Brunelo Cochinelli isn't either.
0:05.8	And what they both have in common is the first business they start, is the business that they work on for
0:10.2	their entire lives. Ralph founded his business like 55 years ago.
0:13.2	Buenella Kucinelli founded his business 45 years ago. They're both still working on it.
0:17.2	A big part of being a founder, a big part of being an entrepreneur is searching for your
0:20.5	life's work and that usually means starting more than one business.
0:24.7	This is so common that the presenting sponsor for this episode, Tiny, has built a business
0:29.9	buying other businesses.
0:31.1	And what I like about Tiny is the fact that they make selling your business easier.
0:34.4	I've talked to a ton of founders that have sold their business either to a private individual

0:57.1	You go to a response within 48 hours. There's an offer made within seven days and
1:01.0	then they close within a month. The founder skips the headache and gets a bag full of cash. So if you want to sell your business now or in the future make sure you go to tiny.com. And one more thing before we jump into the episode I want to make sure that you're following one of my favorite podcasts in whatever podcast player listening to this on right now.
1:17.0	Search for Invest Like the Best, make sure you're following that show.
1:20.0	And do me if ever listen to the episode that I did with Patrick. Patrick is the host of Invest Like the Best. It's episode 293.
1:26.0	The episode is called Passion and Pain. I feel the passion that Bruno Cuccinelli has for life and the way he's building his company I'm trying to apply
