BTU #424 - Growing a Business through Acquisitions (Mike Maynard @ Napier)

Beyond the Uniform

Why Listen:

Normally on the show, I interview military veterans about what they're doing post-service. Today's guest, Mike, has a unique career transition story that I haven't heard before and thought would benefit our audience. We talked about Mike's career transition of going from someone on the tech side to someone on the marketing side as an owner and operator, but also the process of acquiring other businesses.
