11 Mar Acquiring Minds: Unlocking Growth in a Business, Average Age 55 | Steve Reis and Danny Fields Interview
The business that today’s guests bought was doing 8 figures in revenue with just 9 employees. It was a decades-old business. High-quality revenue. And since 2019 when they bought it, partners Steve Reis and Danny Fields have grown it to over 20 people. And, they acquired the assets of another business they expect to grow to 60 employees by the middle of this year. A smashing success, right? Well this story is a perfect example of how you gotta look beyond the headline numbers when it comes to business stories. While they are fired up for the next chapter, Steve & Danny were in fact frustrated by the business’s slow growth. And that second acquisition? It was as much about survival as growth. So this interview is catching two entrepreneurs right as they graduate — hopefully — from slog to sprint.
