Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), and Chandler Reed (https://x.com/ChandlerReedSMB), as we discuss the realities of buying your first business. Chandler, who has taught over 200 people through his SMB Bootcamp, shares his journey of acquiring his first company, the challenges of buying a "sweaty" business, and why he chose to buy himself a job.
