Nick Huber - Next Growth Phase - Ep.184

My guest today is Nick Huber, founder of now over a dozen companies beyond Bolt Storage, his self-storage business he’s perhaps most well-known for. Check out our first episode together, episode 68, for more about Bolt Storage. Nick has used his growing Twitter following as a top-of-funnel for all these companies, all of which serve each other in a pretty unique entrepreneurial ecosystem.  Nick and I talk about how his role as a leader has grown in scope as his business empire has expanded, why delegation and recruiting talented people has become his primary responsibility, momentum in business, and what he’s learned studying great entrepreneurs.
