HoldCo Bros are back! Nik and I talk about our absolutely transformative 2024. It was a year of big wins and some pretty big fails, and we're breaking it all down. Is consistency overrated when it comes to content? We're debating that and more!
We discussed the world of content creation, going from cringe to building an audience of over a million people across multiple platforms. We explore how short-form video is like a lottery ticket - a small investment that can change everything. We also discuss how building an audience can create new opportunities, such as launching our vending machine business that already did over $200k in sales, as well as getting into some unsexy but profitable businesses. Of course, we're also talking about some tough lessons learned from our crypto business and other ventures that didn't work out. Plus, we're sharing our exciting plans for 2025.
