The moment that you stop thinking about your own career and your own department and start

thinking about the business is the moment you will win.

How do you create an unshakable business? I cross $100 million in net worth by the age of 28.

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.

Buckle up and let's build.

What I want to talk about is actually something that was, it came up at a talk I gave this past weekend.

And after the talk,

you know, we all get into a room and it's me and Alex and, you know, maybe 30 people in the room.

And they get to ask us whatever questions for 30 minutes. And so this company that I spoke for at the

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.

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.

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.

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.

And I want you to know that too so that you can beat the odds, right?

And so some people look at it like, oh, you're provoking fear.

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

to the things that I'm going to provide this, right? And so I'll start up with that, which is

like, if someone's not open-minded or coachable, there's really no use to because, or doing any

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,

these four things came to mind because for those of you who don't know, in 2019, I actually

hosted a full team meetup per dimmarch. And it was literally everybody. It was 130 employees.

They all flew into Austin, Texas. There's this huge event, very expensive, very chaotic.
