FLIP TALK EPISODES

THE ROOKIE PLAYBOOK

 

Alex Pardo always had the entrepreneurial, bug even when he was a kid. Before he was a teenager, he was already engaged in the business of flipping – flipping baseball cards in baseball card shows that is. He found money in that simple gig, but it wasn’t the thing that made him who he is now. No, that would come at a much later time where he found himself working close to 80 hours a week for GE’s financial management program, back when he aspired to climb the corporate ladder.

Needless to say, he didn’t see himself working like that for the rest of his life. After the program, he went back to his hometown Miami, joined a boot camp about marketing for deals and would shortly earn $44,000.00 in his first deal ever. He hasn’t looked back since.

Today, Alex talks about building your own team and the practices he advocates when it comes to hiring, how he markets his business, the many failures and takeaways he got from them, and his tips on making your business run smoother.
