Description

Do you have a clinical addiction to all things small business? Hey, me too! Let's be addicts together.

On this show I do deep dives on cool business ideas, growth hacks and opportunities. Sometimes that means going broad, and breaking down 4-6 ideas with a business parter or friend, and sometimes that means going super deep on one idea or topic.

I've built dozens of companies & own 7 right now, with revenues in the 10s of millions. I also buy 1-2 RV parks per month alongside partners and investors.

Episodes are released every Monday Wednesday and Friday. Email me at chris@cofounders.com with any feedback. Enjoy!
