HoldCo Bros are back! Nik and I are here with some exciting updates about our perfume vending machine business, which did great in August. We talk about the challenges we faced as we explore how to scale this unique business. We also talk about a creative car fair idea, where you can rent parking lots to connect buyers and sellers, making it a win-win without owning a single car. Finally, we get into growth hacks for social media apps, including viral strategies and how AI can be used to create products for students.
