HoldCo Bros are back! Nik and I dive into three big ideas this week. First, we explore how to use farmers markets as a testing ground for new ideas, getting direct customer feedback and validating concepts. Next, we discuss creating and coordinating farmers markets, including strategies for organizing and scaling them effectively. Finally, we brainstorm the pet piggyback idea: leveraging pet-related products and services in niche markets to tap into a growing industry.
