Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I introduce something new on Nikonomics. My best friend and business partner, Chris (http://tkopod.co/p-x), and I have a discussion every Friday called HoldCo Bros, originally released only on his podcast, we brainstorm ideas and go completely off the wall. It’s basically the same conversations we’ve been having for the last 20 years - random, sometimes inappropriate, but always packed with actionable advice.

In this episode, we talk about pricing, transparency, and lead generation. We explore the idea of a car negotiation as a service and how to leverage virtual assistants to secure the best car deals. We also discuss creating products for business owners and how to find and capitalize on distressed business opportunities. Additionally, we discuss the custom home building industry, and Chris shares his advice based on his own experience.
