He Buys Media Businesses - Learn From His $60 Million Strategy - Craig Fuller

Boring Businesses

In this interview I chat with logistics entrepreneur Craig Fuller, who owns a data company and dozens of media properties related to logistics and transportation. Over the last few years, he's acquired a portfolio of print magazine publications, including Flying Magazine. But his business model isn't just selling ads; its capturing an interested audience and selling them what they really want directly. One of those things is a fly-in/fly-out community in Tennessee with a runway, resort, several homes, and offices. Take a listen to hear how Craig makes acquisitions, how he raises money in a unique way, and why his partnership with Kim Kardashian didn't work out.
