Hi there!

I recently listened to a great podcast that featured an interview with Codie, where they discussed among others buying "boring" businesses. The podcast is fantastic and I gained a lot of knowledge in just 90 minutes.

It covered everything from mindset, execution, general business information, and Codie's intriguing story. Definitely worth it to watch it till the end.

Now, I have a question for you. Have you ever purchased a "boring" business? If so, could you share your process of finding and buying it? Do you think it was a worthwhile investment?

The Podcast can be found here:
