Badge Stone - Earning His Badge and Making His Mark in Search Fund Investments - Ep.83

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest on this episode is Badge Stone. Badge started his search journey with a stone-pumping trench that was on the verge of bankruptcy when he acquired it. After turning it around and acquiring another company called perimeter security, he sold both and made investing in searchers his full-time role through his firm, WSC & Company, alongside two other partners. Badge has invested in over a hundred searchers and has extensive experience as both an investor and operator. During our discussion, we talk about turning stone-pumping trench around, lessons learned from over a hundred search fund investments, a few notable companies, he's been a part of, what's typically missing in a new company, and a wide range of discussion on board construction, and usage for entrepreneurs and investors alike. This episode is fantastic and I learned a ton and I think you will too.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen weekly and subscribe on</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/think-like-an-owner/id1445929750"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">iTunes</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/3Fbv9d4HpDwuO4MOPvgdvO"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly90aGlua2xpa2Vvd25lcnMubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M="> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Google Podcasts</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/think-like-an-owner"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Stitcher</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href="https://www.breaker.audio/think-like-an-owner"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Breaker,</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span> <a href= "https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Think-Like-An-Owner-p1180625/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">TuneIn</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
