Equity Deals, Acquisitions and Exit Strategies With Tommy Mello and Roland Frasier

Tom Mello started in business while he was bartending and studying to be a dentist. When he realized being a dentist was essentially being an entrepreneur, he dove deep into learning about business. Tom began with nothing in the bank and has built his home service business to over 30 Million.
In this conversation, he and Roland talk in-depth about their business philosophies. They also brainstorm how Tom might structure an exit (when the time is right) and how he can be smart about acquiring businesses.
"The biggest challenge for Serial Entrepreneurs is, which money to take? It's hard to turn away money". Tom Mello.
