Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), and my business partner Chris Koerner (https://x.com/mhp_guy), as we dive into another episode of HoldCo Bros! Chris and I have generated over $100 million across our companies, and every week we get together to brainstorm and share insights into our businesses.
In this episode, we explore the idea of using farmers markets as a way to test products, get direct customer feedback, and validate concepts. Then, we talk about the opportunities for creating and coordinating farmers markets, including strategies for scaling and building community. Finally, we talk about the pet piggyback idea - leveraging pets as a niche for innovative business opportunities.
