Palmer Higgins - Moving to the Operating Side - Ep. 43
My guest on this episode is Palmer Higgins, a founding partner of Chenmark along with Trish and James Higgins. I\u2019ve had Trish on the podcast twice before, episodes 1 and 23, and in those episodes we talked about Chenmark as a whole and what they look for in companies.\xa0\n\xa0\nIn this episode with Palmer, we talk about his move to one of their operating companies, Mainely Grass, as CEO. We go over lessons learned as an operator, how he thinks about acquisitions differently now being in the seller\u2019s shoes, how they are making Mainely Grass more efficient, tuck in acquisition opportunities, and what happened to his great podcast, Big Time Small Business.\n\xa0\nFor the full episode transcript and more, visit alexbridgeman.com/podcast.\nI\u2019m also the founder of The Operator\u2019s Handbook, a print publication where small company operators share their insights and ideas for building more effective and profitable companies. Articles focus on process improvement, sales, hiring and training, managing culture, and all responsibilities within operating a small company.
