In episode 468, Matt Jones is joined by Matt Pohl, an entrepreneur hailing from just north of Denver, Colorado, with a wealth of real-world experience in transforming small businesses. Together, they dive into the incredible journey of taking a welding company from $900k to $4 million in just two years. Pohl shares his unique background, working alongside his wife, acquiring businesses rather than starting them from scratch, and applying a proven methodology to triple business value and achieve a 10x increase before selling.
