This week's episode discusses buying a business or as we called it in business school - Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition. Our guest are Ryan and Jessica Salmon, the owners of Stitches N Giggles (https://stitchesngiggles.com/). Stitches N Giggles is a quilting and fabric e-commerce business. Ryan was also a colleague of mine during business school. The Salmon's acquired this business during our first year of business school (2018-2019). They have since grown the business significantly and they share their successes and struggles as well how they identified and finance the acquisition. If you are tired of the corporate life or wanting to starting something yourself, give this a listen.
