My First Million · This guy made $80M in profit. Here's his next 3 stock picks · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

But the amount of money we were generating from these shows was enormous.

It was really profitable?

Very profitable because we cared deeply about the shows and we ran great shows.

I can't disclose exact numbers, but I'm going to tell you the numbers were huge.

We started from nothing and we built this all up over four years, but it wasn't easy, guys.

We were so frugal that we had our own rig because the most expensive part of throwing a convention is renting pipe and drape at all the conventions.

So we bought our own pipe and drape, put it in an 18-wheeler, and the founder operator of this business, Matthew, would drive the truck himself from city to city.

It was crazy, okay?

And then we would unload the truck with some local help, right?

And we would set up the shows ourselves.

I mean, there were points, because I have a bad back, where after the first day,

I was almost, I couldn't walk.

And there were some shows I'd have to go home on day two because I hurt my back so bad from just like leaning over, ticketing thousands of people at the show.

Because we would hire contract workers to help us, but we needed every hand possible.

And so we ran it like a family business.

We were deeply passionate about the attendees.

We would throw a concert every Saturday midday.

We had like Vanilla Ice would perform or like, it was so fun.

And meanwhile, to this day, I've never bought a Pokemon card.

So like I was an observer of this sector.
