0:00.0 | The moment that you stop thinking about your own career and your own department and start |
0:04.2 | thinking about the business is the moment you will win. |
0:11.2 | How do you create an unshakable business? I cross $100 million in net worth by the age of 28. |
0:16.8 | Now I'm growing acquisition.com into a billion dollar portfolio. In this podcast, I share the lessons I've learned in scaling big businesses and helping our portfolio companies do the same. |
0:25.7 | Buckle up and let's build. |
0:32.1 | What I want to talk about is actually something that was, it came up at a talk I gave this past weekend. |
0:37.0 | And after the talk, |
0:38.3 | you know, we all get into a room and it's me and Alex and, you know, maybe 30 people in the room. |
0:43.1 | And they get to ask us whatever questions for 30 minutes. And so this company that I spoke for at the |
0:47.7 | event, they're one of our portfolio companies. And so the team that was there is a team that, you know, we're invested in their company and, you know, I know who everyone is, but I haven't necessarily met everyone until this event. And so they had the chance to ask us questions as well. And the question I got that really prompted me to make this was, you know, how do I continue to grow and value, keep my job in a high growth company? And context for this is that when we start working at the company, it was doing like 300, 350 a month. |
1:11.1 | And now they're doing about 1.3 a month about a year later. And so that's a lot of growth for a company. |
1:15.7 | And, you know, I've been very bogal about the fact, you know, I even said it when I was making my speech of like, you've got to keep up. |
1:21.6 | And the reason I do is not to scare people. It's to give people the same knowledge that I have in my head, right? Which is like, I know that there's a very large possibility that you won't be here in a few years. |
1:31.0 | And I want you to know that too so that you can beat the odds, right? |
1:33.4 | And so some people look at it like, oh, you're provoking fear. |
1:35.3 | I look at it like, I want to make sure all the you continue to grow in a high growth company? How do you maintain the value arbitrage that you're providing to that company when is growing incredibly fast, right? And I think that it's a lot of the times much easier than people let off. It's just that a lot of people don't have the innate character traits. And so because they don't have the innate character traits to continue to grow and be open-minded and coachable, they're not open |
2:05.1 | to the things that I'm going to provide this, right? And so I'll start up with that, which is |
2:07.9 | like, if someone's not open-minded or coachable, there's really no use to because, or doing any |
2:11.2 | of these things because they're just not going to do it, right? And so being closed mind is probably like the worst thing that you could have in a company that's growing quickly. That being said, there's really four things. And when they asked me this question, |
2:20.9 | these four things came to mind because for those of you who don't know, in 2019, I actually |
2:25.9 | hosted a full team meetup per dimmarch. And it was literally everybody. It was 130 employees. |
2:31.2 | They all flew into Austin, Texas. There's this huge event, very expensive, very chaotic. |
