Anthony Franco, a seasoned entrepreneur with seven companies launched and six successful exits (including two to public companies), joins Travis to share his expertise in starting, scaling, and selling businesses. As the host of the How to Founder podcast, Anthony delivers practical advice to help founders navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship. With experience across tech, AI, consumer goods, services, and manufacturing, Anthony’s insights are invaluable for anyone looking to turn their side hustle into a thriving business.

On this episode we talk about:

  • How Anthony started his entrepreneurial journey by painting house numbers as a kid
  • Lessons learned from bootstrapping businesses and scaling them to successful exits
  • The importance of hunger and discipline in entrepreneurship
  • How sales became a critical skill for Anthony’s success
  • The role of pivoting in building sustainable companies
  • Personal finance strategies for entrepreneurs balancing risk and security

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Bootstrapping breeds discipline: Starting a business with limited resources forces you to prioritize efficiency and focus on profitability from day one.
  2. Sales is non-negotiable: Learning how to sell is essential for every founder—it’s the lifeblood of any successful business.
  3. Pivoting is key: A company can succeed even if its initial product or service doesn’t—adaptability is crucial for long-term sustainability.
