Wassup BNOS listeners! Here's to another kicka$$ decade in 2020! Yo, wanna grab good grub before your New Years celebration? Come hit our New Year's Eve party at Cedars! Catch our new Chef Amado Lopez throwin' down a dope culinary experience through a one-time-only 4 course prix fixe menu baby! Seats limited, book here using Opentable! Btw, this is our last episode before the new year. THANK YOU ALL for supporting the sh!t out of me and the podcast! We'll catch y'all in January! This week's guest is Mansoor Kazi. The dude's a gangster when it comes to education & corporate pedigree. But here's the really cool thing: this brother also grew up in a small business *dry cleaner* in none other than Augusta, Georgia. Dats right, dry cleaning for rich golfers, you gotta hear his stories about Sergio & Tiger (ehem, he also shares some great stories about consulting lol). As a Partner at Bain & Company, Mansoor's focus is on retail, customer strategy, and implementing growth/turnaround strategies. And get this, Mansoor also advises private equity guys on potential acquisitions for various funds across multiple industries, including Consumer Products, Healthcare, Industrials, and Chemicals. And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, we then got into "A-B-C" -- always be closing, baby. Best example we had? One of my boys who kept asking women on the street for a date until one of them said Yes. Guess how many he had to ask? CLICK TO LISTEN..... Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 83!
