In this episode, they chat with Tato Corcoran, a former Salesforce employee and real estate investor turned entrepreneur, who shares her unconventional journey from corporate luxury to blue-collar business ownership. Tato dives deep into the realities of acquiring a small manufacturing business, dealing with cash flow crises, and navigating the psychological shift from a corporate job to owning a hands-on business. They discuss the pros and cons of "buying a glorified job," and how Tato’s action-first mentality has been both a blessing and a curse in her entrepreneurial endeavors.
Key Topics Discussed:
- The differences between corporate life and blue-collar entrepreneurship.
- The psychological and financial challenges of acquiring a business.
- Real-world tips on managing cash flow in a small business.
