​This week, we're talking with my buddy Andrew Finn about how to get a free company, why it's often easier to buy a company than build it, and knowing when to eat a shit burger.

Andrew is the co-founder of G64 Ventures and the blog Wait But Why, and he's been patiently building, buying, and operating small businesses since he was 25. Now, he and Tim Urban share a portfolio of cash-flowing small businesses.
