Year 1 in a $300k SDE Services Business

Yeah, so I moved back from San Diego, coming off of almost nine years as a CEO and put myself on sabbatical. Kind of like, you know, it's a, it was, it was stressful, especially toward the end. But I still have my old emails and in fact the first broker I reached out to, I ended up buying American Services from.

They still had the NDA on file still from 2017. That got put on hold, actually, because I went into media accidentally. So I developed a TV show and, and decided, you know what, this is a.

So put the. Put buying business on hold while I made the TV show, which we did make and put out. It's on Amazon, but so great experience there, man. Running a business is definitely akin to making and producing a.

A TV show that the stress related to it and the work and the hours put in when you're actually filming is insane. So I do compare it a lot and that experience actually has helped me a lot in. In dealing with stress.

Well, why don't you give us a couple minutes on this TV show? Production experience.

It's.

That's a first for an Acquiring Minds guest.

Yeah, I've always had this kind of creative itching me. I play music, you know, podcast producer, as we've talked about, film producer. But, you know, that was the first time being in charge, raising the money.

Had a co writer. We had this idea before COVID to do a show about remotely working, and that was the name of it, actually working remote and exploring the different, you know, humor behind coworking spaces. Working from home, working from coffee shops, you know, way before it became kind of popular. And so we wrote a script.

I got Dana Powell from Modern Family, who's from Missouri, to star in it.

Which one? Which character is that from Modern Family? She's.
