David Page bought a Bay Area wine business in 2010, against the advice of colleagues. 12 years later, it's 5x larger. 

Topics in David's interview:

  • Don't avoid "buying a job"... because you ARE buying a job
  • Buying a business before "search" was well known
  • Buying a circus business (almost)
  • Humble, scrappy beginnings after acquiring
  • Buying in cash, no loan
  • Inevitable surprises you find post-acquisition
  • Brutal first 6 months
  • The niche of private wine grape growing
  • Growing 5x since acquisition
  • How to keep employees happy
