I sit down with Jamal Muse, a former math teacher and former Blackrock analytics professional who reinvented himself as a serial founder. He’s built and sold two brands (one for 7 figures) and is now sellling his third.
If you're building with an exit in mind — or want to learn how top operators structure their businesses to sell — this episode is a must-listen.
