Boards, Business Models, and Leverage w/ Grant Merriel | #004
Do you want to create the perfect business model but feel lost in the process?
I sat down with Grant Merriel, a seasoned business owner who has owned or been involved in 20 businesses in the last two decades. This episode is all about starting with the end in mind, and it’s going to change the way you think about your business.
We dive deep into topics like board structuring, business model design, leverage compounding, and lifestyle design. But this isn't just surface-level stuff; we explore mind-bending topics like identity of ownership, share structuring, dilution, raising, and more.
If you're a business owner who wants to think more strategically about building a better business, this is the episode for you!
Join us as we delve into the mind of a serial entrepreneur and uncover the secrets to building a successful business.
See you on the inside!
