🎉🎬🎙️ Farewell, Season 2! It's time to say goodbye with a bang! 💥 In the final episode, "Building and Selling a brand," we've got the dynamic duo of Colin Urie from Gallo acoustics and Dave Wilson of Dizztribution taking center stage! 🤩

Picture this: A podcast road trip to Glasgow, filled with laughter, banter, and some good ol' Scottish accents! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Who knew entrepreneurs could be so entertaining? 😂

Colin, the mastermind behind the brand that got gobbled up by the Pulseight Group, and Dave, the AV distribution champ, join forces to spill the beans on what it takes to make a brand soar like a rocket! 🚀🌟

We're talkin' epic products, ingenious strategies, and of course, some juicy insights into their plans for world domination! 🌍🏆

Businesses are like rollercoasters 🎢 – one minute you're screaming in excitement, and the next, you're hanging on for dear life! 😱 But it's all about the journey and the thrill of the ride, baby! 🤘

As for exit plans, well, we're taking inspiration from action movies – explosions and slow-mo exits! 🔥😎 But first, we gotta make sure our businesses are worth selling! 💸

So, tune in, grab some popcorn, and get ready to laugh, learn, and wonder why we didn't pursue careers as Scottish comedians! 🤣✨

Season 3 is already in the works, and let's just say it involves a lot of caffeine, wild adventures, and some special guest appearances! 😉 Stay tuned, folks – it's gonna be LEGEN...wait for it...DARY! 🎉🎉🎉
