Listen "From dental sales to buying an ice cream shop - Lessons on buying vs building | Shawn Allard, Novel Ice Cream - #005"
Episode Synopsis
Some wait for opportunities and then wonder why nothing happened...others create opportunities everywhere they go!
In this episode, we hear from Shawn Allard, a 26-year-old entrepreneur who races to opportunities! Right out of college, he helped build sales at a growing dental agency while pushing his limits with side hustles like building a 30-car rental fleet on Turo in only 3 months.
Today we learn about how he views risk, and reward, more about the small business acquisition, and how he acquired Novel Ice Cream within only a few months of learning about SMB acquisition space.
