From the conversations
What advice did Will Bartholomew receive before scaling D1?
Will Bartholomew - From Peyton Manning's Teammate to D1 Training Founder · 9:16 ↗“He said, Never start scaling anything until you've scaled it yourself.”
How does James Hurlock describe preparing the business before offering franchises?
James Hurlock (Fitura Brands Founder & CEO) on Scaling Padel and Pilates Franchises · 0:00 ↗“We've built this plane, we've put in every possible layer of infrastructure we can in the most sustainable way. And only now, 12 months later, are we actually going out to franchise?”
What financial expertise gap did Rick Mayo identify as Alloy prepared to grow?
Rick Mayo - No Pressure, Just Strategy: Why Alloy Took a PE Partner After 30 Years · 24:55 ↗“I think for us, maybe the biggest gap was the only way I know how to describe it would be strategic finance. So examples would be just financing growth and understanding how to be ahead of it a little bit.”
