And so it has to be rock solid.

0:13.5

How do you create an unshakable business?

0:15.9

I cross $100 million in net worth by the age of 28.

0:19.1

Now I'm growing acquisition.com into a billion

0:21.1

dollar portfolio. In this podcast, I share the lessons I've learned in scaling big businesses

0:25.3

and helping our portfolio companies do the same. Buckle up and let's build. Today, what I want to

0:34.7

share with you is how my husband and I work together and were able to build a
