What is a 3PL? A 3PL (third-party logistics) provider offers outsourced logistics services, which encompass anything that involves the management of one or more facets of procurement and fulfillment activities. In business, 3PL has a broad meaning that applies to any service contract that involves storing or shipping items.

So, you call them to get something shipped!

Other topics we cover, and you can learn from...

How important was it for them to continue to bootstrap in the early stages?

When did they start to see it being profitable?

How did they get their wives to "buy in" into this venture?

How long did it take to quit "the day job"?

What did it mean to build a team, and what has it done for them? We love the quote "Culture Eats Strategy."

When did you start to build the business, rather than do business?

Did you have a specific mentor or group of mentors?

What are you good at, your superpower?

What advice would you give to your younger selves?

What are some of the benefits of your partnership with each other? And the key thing that makes it work?

Ernie Villany from Boulder Valley CPAs

A big thanks to Ernie Villany from Boulder Valley CPAs for spending time with us on this episode.

Little known fact - he appeared on Late Night with David Letterman not once, but twice!

Ernie talks about his big move from NY to Colorado. It was a big chance, and he had lots of chances for it not to work - but he talks about HOW he made it work.

Did you always want to be an entrepreneur? - According to Ernie, it was hard to avoid, as it was always a family thing.

What would he say makes him successful in what he does? Advising his clients is key to his firm, but his days working for the IRS has been priceless.

You can't do it all yourself (although that is what got him to where he is today). Ernie talks about when he finally recognized he couldn't do it all himself

One of the most important parts of recognizing you can't do it all by yourself is when you surround yourself with people "that are smarter than you."

What was your biggest fear when making that transition to being an entrepreneur?

So what is Ernie's superpower? Nope, not being the go-to CPA for David Letterman, as most would think - it's just being honest with his clients.

We all have an end game - or will have one - what is Ernie's?

Don't miss hearing from Brittany from his firm, on our Working Moms podcast episode.

And here is Ernie on Late Night with David Letterman.
