The Koerner Office - Business ideas, advice & deep dives. Enabling your shiny object syndrome.

By: Chris Koerner
  • Summary

  • Do you have a clinical addiction to all things small business? Hey, me too! Let's be addicts together.

    On this show I do a couple things:

    1.) Call-in business advice (think Dave Ramsey) and 2.) Deep dives on cool business ideas, growth hacks and opportunities.

    I've built dozens of companies & own 7 right now, with revenues in the 10s of millions. I also buy 2 RV parks per month alongside partners and investors.

    To listen or call in live to ask me a question, follow me on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/mhp_guy.

    2 - 3 new episodes released weekly. Email me at chris@cofounders.com with any feedback. Enjoy!

  • 028 - Taking junk removal from $1M to $10M by opening a 2nd location, plus more!
    Jun 10 2024

    More Q&A! I chat with Brett from Junkless, a company shaking up the junk removal and moving industry in Bend, Oregon. Brett is closing in on 7 figures, but he has his eyes on a bigger future.

    Could opening a second location in the bigger city of Portland turn his $2,500 investment into the 8 figure business he's dreamed of?

    We get into this and tortillas, digital products and a flowrider business with three other guests. Timestamps below. Enjoy!

    A guy asked an interesting question: He and his wife, or his wife and a friend, answer questions for a popular fitness influencer with 1.1 million followers. He wants to turn her DMs and comments into a digital product, like a newsletter or a book. I had some great ideas for him.

    35:12- Starting a Flowrider Business

    The last caller wants to start a FlowRider business, which is an inflatable faux surfing concept gaining popularity in Asia and starting to spread in the U.S., especially on cruise ships. We broke down the unit economics of a FlowRider.
