Spotting Million Dollar Business Ideas B...

Nick Huber
About this episode

In this episode, I sit down with Greg Isenberg to talk about the types of businesses most people overlook. We get into sweaty startups, firewood delivery, nanny recruiting, Christmas light installs and how some of them quietly turn into million-dollar companies. I also share why I’ve spent over six figures on domains and why that’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made. If you're trying to figure out where the real opportunities are, this one will give you a blueprint.
