How Nick Gray Turned a Side Hobby Into a $3M Exit
About this episode
Nick Gray discusses transforming a hobby into a successful business and the intricacies of selling it.
Nick Gray joins the Niche Pursuits Podcast to share how he turned casual museum tours for friends into Museum Hack, which led to a multi-million-dollar exit. He breaks down how charging for the tours changed the business, why hiring comedians and actors helped him scale, and how seller financing made the sale possible. Nick also talks about writing The 2-Hour Cocktail Party, spending $60,000 on self-publishing, and whether books still make sense in the age of AI. The conversation then shifts into personal websites, SEO, GEO, and why owning your name online may matter more than ever.
