Looking for proven ways to scale up your business in these uncertain times? In today’s show, we interview Marco Pimental who reveals how having internal systems in place can help you successfully acquire and manage businesses, even if they are vastly different in nature. Growing up, Marco was curious and extremely enterprising. From working early mornings in a grocery store to running a car import business, Marco tried his hand at different ventures before he discovered Student Works. Because of this student painting experience, early in his career, Marco realized that great structures and great relationships are the “secret sauce” that can skyrocket a business.  And, he poured his learnings into his new venture, GOYAdeal – a coupon service similar to Groupon. Though he did not make any significant gains when he exited this business after just thirteen whirlwind months, Marco considers this to be one of his best experiences ever. In the year 2015, Marco ventured into the digital publishing space with Assembly, a business that was later amalgamed into Redbrick.  Discussing business strategy and growth in the last segment of the show, Marco shares how Redbrick has grown massively via the acquisition route over the past few years. Redbrick is the parent organization that owns Assembly, Shift, Rebase, and LeadPages.  You will learn what Redbrick looks for when evaluating a potential acquisition, and how they have been able to achieve operational synergies among their multiple businesses. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show How a Student Works experience can equip you with foundational skillsets and fast-track your career Relying on internal structures for scale and growth How to drive operational synergies withing different group companies And so much more…  Resources Redbrick Student Works  Chris Thomson LinkedIn Chris’s Email
