18 May Acquiring Minds: How to Go From Buying a Business to Leading It | Alex Glasner Interview
There are 2 key themes in today’s interview with Alex Glasner. The first is: The impossibility of really knowing what the business you buy is like until you actually buy it. A big challenge of this adventure of buying a business is your vision making contact with reality, so you need to be prepared for a period of reconciliation between the two. The second theme from Alex: Becoming a leader. Many entrepreneurs buying a small business don’t have much, maybe any, leadership experience. We spend time today talking about how Alex is learning that skill as he goes, including letting go of wanting to be liked.
