Good Bad Business
Good Bad Business is a weekly business analysis podcast from apickle, the team that removes caveats from directors’ homes.
Each episode breaks down a real, everyday business so you do not get into a pickle owning one.
We use our M.O.A.T framework:
Margin. Operations. Advantage. TAM.
We answer the questions that matter:
Can this business do $1M in year one?
Is it profitable or just busy?
Does it have a real competitive advantage?
If you are a founder, operator, investor, or thinking about buying or starting a business, this podcast gives you clear, practical insight into what makes a business good, bad, or a future headache.
No fluff. Just real world business strategy, startup analysis, and small business breakdowns.
Because the wrong business will get you into a pickle.
