He has continued to expand that operation to two physical locations and future growth is inevitable. This interview was fascinating in how basic business principles still apply, but with the added benefits of social media and online presence you can vastly expand your market. Louis is an entrepreneur through and through and seamlessly explains how a "lazy owner" can benefit utilizing his companies and skill sets. Tune in to learn and laugh!
