Most people assume entrepreneurship means starting from scratch. Alex Kang took a different path — and built a three-business portfolio doing it.

After 15 years in consulting and tech, Alex left his corporate career to buy a hotel in California, open an Alloy Personal Training franchise in Los Angeles, and acquire Priority Doors and Windows, a 45-year-old distribution business in San Diego. In this conversation, he makes the case for buying a business or franchise instead of building one from zero.

Lorenzo and Alex cover the cash flow problem most people don't see coming when they leave corporate, how SBA financing actually works, the real cost and timeline of opening a franchise, how to evaluate a small business before buying, and how Alex manages three businesses without losing his mind.

A practical, honest conversation for anyone thinking about leaving corporate to own something of their own.
