In this high-stakes Dropping Bombs episode, attorney and investor Gabriel Vadasz shares his rise from selling a delivery app at 19 to building (and selling) a law firm, flying Apache helicopters, and now quarterbacking $500M+ SEC settlements and private equity exits as head of Apache Consults.
Gabriel reveals how he slashes $100M+ debts down to pennies on the dollar for clients, why big law firms overbill and bleed entrepreneurs dry (and exactly how he fixes it), and insider strategies for protecting and exiting businesses. Plus, his bold run for Arizona Senate to crush bureaucracy and government overreach once and for all.
If you're building, scaling, negotiating deals, or fed up with red tape—this is pure gold. Watch now, arm yourself, and take control.
