Zack is seriously the man.  He and I started our friendship while I was at the Civil Affairs Qualification Course.  We then worked together in Syria and again when I was in Saudi Arabia. 

Currently, Zack works for Spirit of America. Who exactly are they?  They support warfighters and diplomats who need to get something down, but either they don't have the right kind of money or it will not come fast enough.  SoA fills a need and truly supports our Nation's missions abroad.  

Besides all that- Zack is just a funny guy and we swap some great stories in this episode.

Jason runs Brokerz Edge, which trains people how to get started with being a freight broker.  Here's Jason's thoughts on why you might want to think about this option:

"I have now moved countless tons of freight and made ridiculous amounts of money doing it. I always tell people that transportation is the only industry that I know of where high school graduates can consistently make a six-figure income and I’m going to show you how to start from scratch and grow your business into its own company."

PLUS: Inside the episode will be an exclusive discount code to save 25% on their training course, which can a MASSIVE ROI.

If you listen to this show, I hope you've learned about the options available through Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition.  You may think you need to be a Harvard MBA with millions in the bank to make this happen, but today's guest is here to tell you why that is not the case. 

After a few army buddies told John Hubbard that he should consider business acquisition, he thought he'd look into it.  At the time, John was out of the army, working as a cop, and didn't have a fancy MBA.  He went onto Searchfunder.com and posted something to the tune of "I'm a veteran and want to buy a business."  He then got dozens of emails from investors looking to invest in him and within a few months, he acquired a business.  

His first meeting with an investor they met at a bar and got wings and beer.  They chatted about business for 20 minutes and then the guy said, "You sound cool.  I'll give you $200k.  Now I'd like to hear about Afghanistan because that's really interesting."

This strategy is way more approachable than you think.
