In this episode of The MilVet Podcast, Joseph Cabrera from Mainshares joins hosts Brendan Aaronson and Beau Higgins to discuss search funds and small business acquisitions. Cabrera, a former Army officer and special ops veteran, shares his transition from military service to entrepreneurship, including a near-miss with Goldman Sachs. He discusses the importance of leadership, team building, and creating a strong "tribal" dynamic in business, drawing parallels to his military experiences.
Cabrera recounts his journey to becoming Chief of Staff at a finance and tech firm, where he discovered his passion for building new businesses and fostering strong teams. He then founded Wyld Whisper, a leadership development company that utilizes extreme experiences, before ultimately joining Mainshares to empower the next generation of business operators through acquisition.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into entrepreneurship through acquisition and how veterans can leverage their unique skills in the business world. Cabrera's story is an inspiration for vets seeking new avenues for service and success.
