About this episode

Frank DiMarco shares his journey from a blue-collar kid in Ohio to a successful entrepreneur culminating in a $2.54 billion sale to Blackstone.

Join us for the first half of a legendary conversation with Frank DiMarco. Before the $2.54 billion sale to Blackstone, Frank was a blue-collar kid from Ohio learning the ropes from "old school guys" who demanded perfection. Frank recounts the "infamous list" of people he intended to prove wrong after being "kicked in the nuts" by a deal that left him with nothing. This is a masterclass in resilience and the blue-collar mindset.
