HoldCo Bros are back! Nik and I talk about perfume vending machine business we accidentally fell into, how it went viral on Instagram, and what happened behind the scenes. We also dive into Ponzi schemes, the boy band business in the nineties, and the complexities of investor relationships and entrepreneurship.
Enjoy and see you next Friday!
