How Lebron ACTUALLY became the NBA's 1st billionaire?

Spoiler it was not through dribbling.

It’s through EQUITY in normal biz's not fancy endorsements...

A 🧵...
James does do endorsements...

- aka Give me money and I talk about your product
- he’s bigger on ownership w/ equity

So if you want to do a deal with Lebron - you gotta give him skin in the game.

My favorite way to do deals.

Wanna know wha he owns?
#1 Doubles down on wha the knows.

SPORTS.
- Part owner of the Boston Red Sox AND Liverpool Football club
#2 Hollywood baby

- Part ownerr Springhill entertainment aka he makes movies like Space Jam 2
#3 Media Using that Big Ole Following of His

- Uninterrupted - his media company he started

- He started when Laura Ingraham told him to shut up and dribble
- Instead he spoke up, dunked on her, and made cash $$
#4 Things he likes...
FOOD.

- Blaze pizza - a pizza chain where sometimes he’s even behind the counter and now has stores all over
#5 Satellite to his main thing businesses

SPORTS NUTRITION

- Ladder - sports nutrition and supplement company
- has his trainer run it
- and even partners with Arnold the terminator Schwarzenegger
#6 Leverage His Circle

Beats by Dre

- he promoted their headphones 4 equity
-when they sold to Apple for $3 billion, James got a big fat $30 million check

For that reason according to ESPN he had:

"the biggest equity cash payout for a professional athlete in history"
TLDR

Don’t shut up and dribble, speak up and get equity.

What I wish I knew as an investor 20 years ago??

Speak your truth... even if your lips tremble.

The deals I could have saved $52M+ on:

If I wasn’t so scared... a🧵
In finance MD typically stands for:

Most D*ckish.
Mr Don’t
IDK but managing directors to analysts were the worst

I underwrote a CPG deal, and saw more holes than cheddar cheese.

Presented the findings.... and got told by 2 MD's to pound sand.
What happened?

That company went on to raise:
$52 million dollars
Burn all of it
Return nothing

Is it bad to say I told you so at that moment? Ya....

Uber: Valued at $85 billion, loses $500 million per year

My Laundromat: Bought for $100k, nets $67k per year
If you’re into businesses that actually cashflow…

Free newsletter for ya:

Couple tricks to make this happen:
1) off market deals (go door knock most won’t)

2) don’t buy RE w/ it but lock in 10-12 year lease

3) find your angle - I’m a local community member, and usually leave their name on the door sellers like that

I was horrified to get on twitter & be public; scared to get trolled, mess up.

In finance, we get rich quietly & quietly judge "internet gurus."

But, I did it anyway, & let me tell you a secret.

I do more deals, make $$$, & have more fun than ever...
Trolls Don't Matter:
#1 If you have no prof pic, 20 or less buds & you spitting nonsense at people online. I couldn't care less about you.

I get told daily I'm a liar, or wrong, or am I really worth x, or did y.

It's part of the game if you want to be in the arena.
#2 I've never met a troll in real life.

Maybe they only hang under bridges?

Instead, twitter has 100x'd my network of people I would have never met if I just played in private equity.

Magic happens when people meet from different walks.

"What do I want to do for a living?"

is the WORST question you can ask yourself in your career...

Here's why..
You are not going to DO anything for the rest of your life.

Average length of a gig is 3-4 years.

Think about what you are interested in NEXT, not forever.
Does anyone really know the answer to that question?

I hardly know what I want for dinner. (Sorry hubs)

Don't trap yourself.

When you ask a singular question with only one answer, you immediately limit your options.

Instagrams days are numbered.

Tiktok may win.

The virality of tik tok is 100x.

The catchiness is 200x.

The UI is so clean.

If you’re not on there you probably should be…

We grew to 6k+ w/ 49 posts in 90 days…
It’s our fastest growth channel by far.

The algorithm literally feeds you eyeballs.
Not to mention it’s 1/10 the work of YouTube.

No 20 minute over edited videos.

No crazy graphics needed.

Emphasis on consistent quantity.

1st ever carwash company to go public... and it's worth $7 BILLION!

MCW IPO'd this past week
Then went up 46%+ (biggest IPO of the day)

A thread on buying & building for cashflow:
What happened?
- Mister Car Wash started in 1996
- It has 344 locations
- That's 345 million cars cleaned
- Now the largest carwash company in the US

BUT get this....
They only own 5% of the market share

That's why PE loves boring businesses...
