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."

In this episode of Business Lunch, Ronald and Ryan delve into the age-old debate of whether to diversify your team or focus on business, drawing inspiration from Warren Buffett's latest shareholder letter and the challenges faced by conglomerates like LVMH. They explore the nuances of entrepreneurship and offer valuable insights for seasoned business leaders and aspiring entrepreneurs. Highlights:  "It's fascinating that oftentimes good at the opposite of good advice is more good advice. Like, so good advice, you should diversify. Good advice, you should focus. Those are both good advice."  "Diversification is a luxury, not a right. Your ability to diversify is going to be a function of how good of a job have you done with the core business that you have today of getting it systemized and getting it scalable."  "If you're going to diversify, be sure that you are number one thinking about what are you diversifying?

In this episode, we delve into the intriguing concept of Dry January, examining its multifaceted impact on personal habits and business dynamics.

We explore how businesses can creatively embrace this trend by offering enticing mocktails and appealing non-alcoholic alternatives, turning a potential setback into a showcase of versatility and customer inclusivity. Highlights: “I think that [overindulging before a period of abstinence] is really dangerous. It's like I'm giving myself permission to make bad decisions today, because I'm going to make a sacrificial decision tomorrow.” “When a future decision becomes a crutch or a reason to make bad decisions today, that's when you're not doing it for the right reasons." “When a trend like this comes out, you've got to ask yourself, is this trend kind of pulling people away from my business or is it pushing them towards?” Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Personal Perspectives on Dry January 04:12 The Dangers of Extreme Behavior and Future Decision Crutches 06:06 Business Opportunities for Alcohol-Related Industries 07:57 Networking and Marketing Opportunities Around Dry January 09:49 Responding to Trends That Pull People Away from Your Business Mentioned in this episode: GET ROLAND'S TRAINING ON ACQUIRING BUSINESSES!
