HoldCo Bros are back! In this episode, @NikonomicsPodcast and I talk about all kinds of offline business ideas, from hot tub servicing for Airbnbs to concierge prep for vacation homes, we get into some real-world models that actually print money. We also talk about building tools and SaaS for lake rental companies, the absurd margins of float rentals, and how to run smarter directories for high-ticket local services. I also shared my favorite example of piggyback marketing using Shopify order confirmations, plus an offline twist on pen pal chess and story-driven subscription boxes that pull in hundreds of thousands in monthly recurring revenue. This episode is packed with ideas that don’t rely on trends or tech, they just work.
