Paying for your MBA, and a Few Updates on Me.
New baby, bought a business, and started one.
Whew, been a wild last 2 months!
Had a baby (well, my wife did)

Started a business
Before I share the details, let me share our newest podcast episode:
How to Pay For Your MBA as a VeteranIn this episode, I do a deep dive with Vince LaRocca, an admissions consultant at Military MBA Consulting, to discuss how veterans can finance their MBA. We discuss:
The GI Bill
Yellow Ribbon Program
VRE
Healthcare
Reserves
Scholarships
This is a MUST-LISTEN episode for any veteran pursuing an MBA.

Ok, now for some life updates.
I’m a Dad
About 2 months ago, my wife gave birth to our first kid, a little girl.
It’s been amazing and I love being a dad.
I don’t have any parenting tips to share or life advice…just wanted to let you all know.
Started a Business

We work with a high-end bathroom/kitchen/pool tile manufacturer who contacted us about helping them sell off excess inventory.
The end result is we can get premium tile for 75% off.
Did I think I would start a tile business?
No.
But hey, opportunity comes knocking in weird places.
Bought a Business
Ok, I also acquired a small software company.

We provide discrete and super-fast background checks for private market investors like venture capital funds and private equity groups.
For now, I will be making some adjustments before I am more prominent on this acquisition, but the business is up and running with paying customers.
If, however, you have an OSINT or HUMINT analysis background…let me know as I am putting together some fun contract opportunities for people like you.
That’s it for now.
Go crush it,
Mark
