The realities of the failure rate amongst startups, why it can make sense to buy an existing business and what that process looks like. 

How to evaluate good opportunities and recognize bad ones when thinking about acquiring a business, and how starting small and learning from your mistakes can be more valuable than an MBA with Michael Frew, entrepreneur, engineer, owner and operator of Tyler Crown, an organization that starts, acquires, operates and sells software products and services.
