oday's guest arrived in the US just seven and a half years ago from India, by way of Australia.

And now he is owner of a business with over $3m in revenue.

Ruchik Gandhi was a trained accountant, working on financial diligence for private equity companies that were actively buying up home service businesses.

These roll-ups, as well as his discovery of the concept of multiple arbitrage, piqued his interest.

Maybe he could do something similar, if on a smaller scale.

Well he has taken the first step in that journey with the acquisition of a business that fabricates and installs custom window treatments and upholstery; a "workroom" in industry jargon.

Ruchik provides us a front-row seat to the transition from white collar office work to blue collar business ownership.

Listen for the segment on Ruchik earning the trust of his employees, who initially reacted to him skeptically. Some Wall Street guy telling them what to do.

Also listen for how Ruchik found the deal from other searchers, who had it under LOI and had done a fair amount of diligence before deciding the deal wasn't for them.

Ruchik purchased the deal from them. We talk about the costs there.

OK, please enjoy this interview with Ruchik Gandhi, owner of Window25.
