Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Ben Berman — the founder who sold his car at 21, launched a bicycle parts company with $2,500 and no experience, and built it into America's largest online bicycle parts retailer by selection.

Ben breaks down the Covid wave that 4X'd his orders overnight, why "hire smart people and get out of their way" is dangerous advice, and the documentation system that finally freed him from his own company after nine years trapped inside it.

If you're making real money but can't step away without the wheels falling off, this episode has a name for your problem and a blueprint for fixing it.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode brings two of the youngest operators to ever hit the studio — Chase Wallin and Jace Holtz, just 21 and 22, already running $200K/month in combined recurring revenue across two service businesses, with 40% margins on the commercial side and private equity already knocking on the door.

They break down why trash bin cleaning and fleet washing are the most slept-on cash machines in America, why most 50/50 partnerships are a ticking time bomb, and how to raise investor capital through trucks — not equity. Their exit target: $50 million in three and a half years.

Two kids fresh out of high school built this from a borrowed U-Haul and a single pressure washer. Press play for the blueprint.
