Wait...You Can Do That?

Business EN ↓ 15 episodes

This is a place for people who never thought business ownership was an option. Hosted by me, Savannah Abney! I'm a 10-year entrepreneur, founder, and business owner, but until recently I had no idea that buying existing, profitable businesses was an option. Even when I discovered this, it seemed like everyone who was talking about this idea was a long-time buyer, investor, or coming off a huge, high-paying corporate career. What about business ownership for regular people...like me? I didn't see much out there, so I decided to document my journey with this podcast.
