The Koerner Office - Business Ideas, Advice & Deep Dives
Do you have a clinical addiction to all things small business? Hey, me too! Let's be addicts together.
On this show I do deep dives on cool business ideas, growth hacks and opportunities. Sometimes that means going broad, and breaking down 4-6 ideas with a business parter or friend, and sometimes that means going super deep on one idea or topic.
I've built dozens of companies & own 7 right now, with revenues in the 10s of millions. I also buy 1-2 RV parks per month alongside partners and investors.
Episodes are released every Monday Wednesday and Friday. Email me at chris@cofounders.com with any feedback. Enjoy!

Why Should You Listen to Me? #049
In this episode, I’m sharing my journey from being broke to running multiple million-dollar businesses and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. I love starting businesses and have a spreadsheet of 72 of them. I’ve also done crazy things like partnering with John McAfee and donating my kidney to a stranger.
Timestamps below. Enjoy!
