Finding Media That Aligns With How You Live

Image
I’ve been consuming a lot of media lately—not just for entertainment, but because it connects to how I live my life and run my business. Here’s what’s been on my screen and in my headphones. New Shows I’m Watching Pluribus just launched on Apple TV+, and it’s from the creators behind Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul . If you know me, you know I love those shows. Pluribus is releasing episodes weekly, and it’s really good so far. I don’t want to spoil anything, but if you enjoyed the style of their previous work, you should definitely check this one out.

OffChance Makes First Strategic Acquisition

Image
  Acquiring a company in the e-commerce world is never simple—especially when it involves international borders. OffChance recently closed its very first acquisition: Supercrush. The experience offered valuable takeaways around managing six-figure deals, handling cross-border logistics, and navigating operational complexity at scale. The Deal Overview Just under two months ago, we finalized our first acquisition at OffChance: Supercrush, a Canadian brand known for beauty and hair accessories. This deal brought with it plenty of lessons—and I’m excited to share some of the key ones. Complexities and Costs With a six-figure acquisition, striking a balance between proper diligence and cost-efficiency was essential. At first, we went deep into perfection-mode with legal support, which quickly pushed fees into the five-figure range—something that didn’t align with the deal size. Eventually, we narrowed our focus to what was essential in the contract and took on most of the diligence our...
