My guest Matt Estep got his business start early in life when he started a go-kart manufacturing business in high school with dreams of eventually being a professional NASCAR driver. The business still exists today but Matt sold it with other plans in mind. Matt went to Harvard Business School, launched a search fund, and acquired Midwest Supplies. Following the sale of that business to a private equity group, Matt has invested in multiple other small companies and dozens of search funds. During the episode Matt and I talk about some of the changes and improvements he made in Midwest Supplies, a business of his that has struggled through COVID, what he looks for in new acquisitions, and some niche companies he’s found such as a fireworks retailer and a mall Santa business. This conversation was a fantastic blend of investing and operating and I hope you walk away with some great lessons from both sides.

Ifirmly believethat thekitchen isan incredible source of knowledge, and that you can't truly understand something you love until you try making it yourself. If you love beer, these truisms yield a glorious thing. Homebrewing is somethingof a national passion, but I've never delved into it, mostly becausethere's so much great beer producedby people who know what they're doing.

Homebrewers are fickle. You would think that AB-In Bev's recent acquisition of Northern Brewer and Midwest Supplies would mean massive drops in sales and an exodus of loyal customers, but time will tell. In this episode, I talk with Ethan Cox of CBW about the recent acquisition and about business in general.
