Pints, Pies & Profits Pints, Pies & Profits
Running a business is one of the loneliest jobs in the world. Everyone thinks you've got it figured out. Most days, it feels like you're not so sure. …A lighter, rapid-fire format. Scott puts Mike on the spot over Panhead XPA and a Pioneer Pies steak & blue vein, covering the sketchiest deal that ever paid off, the most nerve-wracking moment of his career, and what he actually wants his kids to learn about business.
You'll learn:
-How a 4.5x-multiple, 48-hour-decision ramp-manufacturing deal became "an absolute rocket ship";
-How six companies navigated COVID and the emotional toll that followed;
-The origin story of the NZ Beer Festival (and a $100K lesson in de-risking);
-Core negotiation principles — know your non-negotiables, negotiate in packages, not line by line;
- and what actually drives deals: not alcohol, but genuine conversation.
Beer: Panhead Quickchange XPA (4.6%)
Pie: Pioneer Pies — Steak & Blue Vein Cheese
