Episode 177, How To Scale Your Business With An Outsourced Team, With Founder of FreeUp, Nathan Hirsch

In this episode, Roland talks with Nathan Hirsch, the founder of (recently sold) FreeUp, and (the newly launched) Outsource School. They discuss his story, why he wouldn’t do a Drop-Shipping business now, his new Venture, and how he scaled FreeUp from a $5,000 investment to 12 million last year.

“The entire time we acted like the sale wasn’t going to go through. That they were going to pull out at any given time because we didn’t want to get to the end, have them pull out, and have neglected the business for three months. So, it’s tough to do, but we ended up having our best month the month that we were acquired”. Nathan Hirsch 

11 years ago, Nathan Hirsch started his first company, Portlight, in his college dorm room, selling textbooks on Amazon. Since then, Nathan has bootstrapped two multimillion-dollar businesses.
