All we can say is that it’s extremely powerful and extremely profitable. Dan and Ian nerd out on what might be the GOAT business model of all time.

They analyze some of the best examples of said business model, and talk about ways that you can rip, pivot, and jam these ideas for your own business.

Plus, two books you should pick up that Dan simply couldn’t put down.
