Zero cash deployed, multiple acquisitions closed in 2024. That's what happens when your currency is stock, not cash.

He explains why he listed a small holding company on NASDAQ, how stock, seller financing and SPVs make zero-cash deals possible, and the post-acquisition hiring mistake he made four or five times.
