b'
My next guest has owned 23 businesses including one business where a customer chucked a burrito at his head. Moments like that made him say \\u201cYou know what, maybe this business isn\\u2019t for me.\\u201d He\\u2019s been through the good, the bad, and the ugly and now has a ton of experience to help other business owners avoid mistakes and achieve their dreams. In this episode, we break down some of his major lessons learned as well as some of his biggest wins. As we talk through what works and what doesn\\u2019t work in business, we lead up to the company he\\u2019s building today which is a membership business model. He\\u2019s big on building businesses with recurring revenue and high retention. Please welcome David Alexander.
