The Koerner Office - Business Ideas, Advice & Deep Dives - TKOPOD.COM

By: Chris Koerner
  • Summary

  • Do you have a clinical addiction to all things small business? Hey, me too! Let's be addicts together.

    On this show I do deep dives on cool business ideas, growth hacks and opportunities. Sometimes that means going broad, and breaking down 4-6 ideas with a business parter or friend, and sometimes that means going super deep on one idea or topic.

    I've built dozens of companies & own 7 right now, with revenues in the 10s of millions. I also buy 1-2 RV parks per month alongside partners and investors.

    Episodes are released every Monday Wednesday and Friday. Email me at chris@cofounders.com with any feedback. Enjoy!

  • How to Turn Addiction Into a Business (That Helps)⏐Ep. #118
    Jan 15 2025

    In this second part of the episode, we continue my conversation with James Camp (https://x.com/JamesonCamp), an entrepreneur who has built and sold multiple internet-based businesses. We talk about his idea for a subsidized rehab business model that leverages asynchronous technology to provide treatment for addiction, particularly in the context of the rise of sports betting. We also share our thoughts on the importance of taking action and copying successful business models, as well as the concept of the "Midwit curve" and why being like the "caveman" can be more effective.

    If you missed the first part, be sure to check out episode #117.

    Jan 10 2025

    HoldCo Bros are back! Nik and I discussing how AI agents can automate tasks, focusing on their potential to revolutionize both business and personal productivity.

    We brainstormed various ideas for using AI agents, such as making restaurant reservations and gathering quotes for wedding planning. We also considered having AI agents call businesses for market research, gather data from different industries, and build newsletters based on that data
