Michael Girdley (@Girdley) and Mills Snell (@thegeneralmills) talk about an Armored and ATM Service in Mid-Florida. In this episode, we discuss how this business works, tail & headwinds. We try to determine why a strategic purchaser has not yet purchased this business. Mike also provided a very insightful explanation, by comparing the past and present, of how digital money is replacing traditional forms of currency and how cash value is decreasing over time.

In this episode the hosts debate a commercial kitchen oil filtration franchise that most liked for its recurring revenue potential, while one host strongly opposed it due to small market size, customer churn risk, and dependence on struggling restaurants.

In this episode the hosts analyze a tiny niche SaaS serving midwives and doulas with 80% margins but conclude the $400K price is too high given zero growth, easy replication risk, and limited market traction.
