Join Ryan Deiss and I in this enlightening episode of Business Lunch, where they delve into the often-overlooked yet crucial topic of accounting and finance. We discuss how entrepreneurial optimism can clash with the harsh realities of financial reporting. Learn how to navigate these challenges and foster a productive relationship with your CFO to ensure your company's financial health.

Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch, Ryan Deiss and I dissect the recent hype surrounding two new AI-powered gadgets - the Humane AI pen and the Rabbit. Both products promised to revolutionize our lives with features like real-time feedback and enhanced productivity. However, reviews have been scathing, exposing the devices as clunky, unhelpful, and ultimately a letdown. We delve into the challenges of launching new hardware products in a crowded market and explore the dangers of overpromising and failing to deliver, highlighting how a great marketing campaign can backfire if the product itself isn't exceptional.
Highlights:
"The people are not stupid long term, we're all a little stupid short term from time to time."
"It's a game of replacement, not enhancement."
"The better you are at marketing, the better your product better be.”

Welcome to the Business Lunch podcast. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to position yourself as an investor in the business world, regardless of the size of your bank account. In this power-packed episode, we unlock the strategies and mindsets that separate the savvy entrepreneur from the everyday business owner. We talk about how leveraging not just capital but also your unique resources, network, and skills can significantly amplify your impact and success.
Highlights:
"The truth is that most savvy investors don't bring a bunch of cash to a deal. The easiest thing you can do is bring cash to a deal. But that's also the riskiest thing you can do because your cash could be lost."
"Capital also means other resources that companies want and need... Anything that you can bring... is capital. And if you're someone who can bring those resources, that capital to a company, you are an investor."
"Working above the business is when you are no longer thinking about how do I sell the product or service... You're thinking of the business itself as your product."

Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch. In this episode, we explore strategic business acquisitions and dive deep into the process of identifying, analyzing, and seizing the right opportunities. In a world teeming with potential ventures, understanding how to sift through a variety of options to find those that align with your goals is crucial. This episode unveils the importance of setting clear acquisition criteria to avoid the overwhelming of possibilities and highlights the significance of focusing on sectors and business sizes that promise the best return on investment. Whether you're a seasoned investor or stepping into the arena of acquisitions for the first time, this guide lights the path to making informed decisions that pave the way for success.
Highlights:
“Steve Jobs said, one of the worst things that you can do is to drown in opportunity. Opportunity is good, but if there's too much opportunity, it creates paralysis, overwhelm, and you end up not doing anything."
"The very first step to finding deals is to know what you're looking for. If you don't have acquisition criteria, then you'll look at everything and you might find yourself with a wide array of businesses that don't go together."
"The business value in both of these charts that I've shown you is significantly higher when the business gets bigger. That's the big takeaway there."

Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch. In this episode, I discuss leveraging economic downturns to uncover ethical profits through business acquisitions. I’ll also share my journey acquiring businesses with little to no money out of pocket. These insights will show you about leveraged buyouts, real estate ventures, and digital opportunities, inspiring you to see crisis as an opportunity.
Highlights:
"You mean that you can buy billion-dollar companies without actually having to have the billions of dollars...it's as alchemy as you ever get."
"There's always opportunity in crisis; you can go on one side and you have the opportunity, go on the other side and you've got devastation."
"I want to give you a skill that you can take anywhere in the world for the rest of your life and be able to create value out of thin air."
