    Billion Dollar Dreams with Marc Krauthamer, CEO of AMP Neutraceuticals

    What does it take to build a billion-dollar company? If you’re like most people, you probably assume it requires raising venture capital, building some sort of SAAS product, and scaling it to millions of users. The last thing you’d probably think of us is maxing out your credit cards to start a  manufacturing company that produces supplements stocking the shelves of your favorite PX or GNC store. Well,l that’s exactly what Marine Corps Veteran Marc Krauthhamer and his Co-Founder of AMP Neutraceuticals are doing.  On the show, Marc takes his armor off and shares how he racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, to bootstrap his multi-million dollar manufacturing company, producing high-quality and high-volume dietary supplements for some of the most well-known brands in the industry, with the ultimate goal of being billion dollar company one day.

Manufacturing is a hard business, but that’s not stopping him. Although he’s still in the startup phase, Patricks invested over six-figures to bring his American-made brand to life, which officially launches in a few weeks with their two products, the Defender and the Innovator.

    Maybe It’s Time To Build A Better Mouse Trap?

    Today on the Transition, I challenge conventional wisdom by challenging you to build a better mouse trap (i.e. build upon an existing product or service already in the marketplace) rather than trying to come up with market a new idea out the gate, especially if you’re a first-time founder or find yourself in a bit of a revenue lull.  Apply for the next cohort of Breaking Barriers in Entrepreneurship here: https://bunkerlabs.org/breaking-barriers/ Order my book, “Black Veteran Entrepreneur” here: https://amzn.to/3gme7kg Checkout “The Entrepreneur's Playbook: More Than 100 Proven Strategies, Tips, and Techniques to Build a Radically Successful Business by Leonard C.

    Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) with Jeff Evenson, CEO of Flawless Acceleration & Thayer Gate Project

    One topic that consistently comes up in my conversations with aspiring entrepreneurs is pursuing entrepreneurship through acquisition, a fancy way of saying buying a business as opposed to building one from scratch. There’s an old saying that, “There are multiple ways to skin a cat,” and as great as it is to start a business, buying one can be just as impactful. To discuss the process, I invited on the Transition, Jeff Evenson, an Army Veteran, Business Coach, and Acquisition Entrepreneur, with experience purchasing multiple businesses, as well as working with others to do the same. Over the years, Jeff’s acquired hair salons, a pillow company, and a manufacturing business, just to name a few. On the show, we discuss why buying a business may or may not be a right fit for you, how to spot a good deal, and what pitfalls you should avoid along the way.
