Nicholas Scalf and Darryl Lim bring you updates on their business that they bought from Microacquire an online business marketplace. It's a small lower five figure business which should be within most people's reach to purchase. We will discuss our failures, our wins and what we plan on doing to grow the business. As well, we'll interview guests who have also bought/built their online businesses as well as some Founders who have exited so we can learn together. Come Along for the ride as we grow it into a real business ---or fail in public.
