Disclaimer: This video contains discussions about hunting and the hunting industry, we understand this may not be suitable for all viewers

In this video, I break down how I acquired a struggling company in the hunting industry and turned it around within weeks, tripling its sales. With over 20 years of experience in entrepreneurship, I've started and acquired numerous companies, and this one had the right fundamentals but was being mismanaged. Learn how I leveraged my infrastructure and business strategies to remove obstacles, improve cash flow, and scale the company quickly—all without being a hunting expert myself.

We'll cover:

-The key reasons I saw value in this acquisition.
-How aligning incentives and trusting partners is crucial.
-The importance of understanding gross margin vs. net margin.
-Why scaling a business involves getting out of the way of experts.
-Don't forget to sign up for my newsletter for an exclusive look at the financials, strategies, and behind-the-scenes details on how we restructured this company for growth.
