Dan and Ian have talked to many entrepreneurs on this podcast about what it takes to create a highly successful business, but what are we supposed to do once you’ve achieved that?
Today’s guest is Greg Berry. Greg has been a big contributor to our online community The Dynamite Circle, and has spoken at many of our events.
Greg joins us this week to share the story of Municibid, a marketplace company that Greg founded when he was 26 years old. Since then, Municibid has grown to become a completely location-independent seven figure business.
On this week’s episode, we seek to answer a very high quality problem that many entrepreneurs end up facing: what happens after you’ve actually built the business of your dreams?

- What it means to have a “poor man’s mindset”. (8:38)
- Why Greg decided that he ultimately didn’t want to seek venture capital for Municibid. (15:27)
