Rich Milici, President &CEO of Blackstone Industries wanted to control his own fate after his job was moved to another state - so he started his entrepreneurial journey.

 

In 2013, Rich purchased Blackstone Industries, a group of brands that manufacturers tools for artisan markets. With 3 brands that are over 100 years old, he knew this would be a strong building block for growth.

 

Ari and Rich talk about the initial purchase process and Blackstone's M&A aspirations. Then they go deep into the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), which Rich says changed everything!  

 

If you're looking to be an entrepreneur, or a business owner that wants to gain more control over your business operations, this is the episode for you.

 

Rich's favorite books: Benjamin Hardy - The Gap and the Gain, Who Not How, 10x is easier than 2x.
