00:00How do you know if a business will be successful or not? You follow the data or

00:03what's called the Lindy effect. Basically the longer a business has been in

00:07existence the more likely it will continue to be in business. So while 20%

00:10of businesses fail within the first year, two-thirds fail within 10 years. So we

00:15come to New York City to show you these seven businesses that are the

00:18longest-standing businesses here so you can copy their homework. We're gonna

00:22teach you exactly how you could own these same types of businesses. By the

00:25way, I own Main Street Holding Company and Contrarian Thinking Capital. We own 24

00:28businesses so I know a thing or two about this. Let's start with Moskot. This

00:31company founded in 1989. It actually started as a push cart vendor. You know

00:36those guys with the little carts with all the wares in them down in the tenement

00:39district which is like not the rich district in New York. This business is

00:42fascinating because it's eyewear. So back in the day that used to be a

00:46healthcare company. These days it's what I would call a retailer and e-commerce

00:50company but the story is pretty sweet and I'll tell you why I think this

00:52business has survived this long. You're always gonna have a bunch of people that

00:55need to have prescriptions, glasses and they want to be a little cooler the way

01:00that they wear them. That is going to continue to evolve. If you want to get a

01:03little piece of a market that already exists, eyewear is probably always gonna

01:06be there because people are gonna need to see. Second part of the market is

01:09sunglasses which they have a huge component of it. Same exact thing. For as

01:12long as people are out in the sun there's going to be people that need

01:14sunglasses which is why there are thousands of these brands today. This is a

01:18big business. 215 billion in eyewear in total addressable market by 2025. What's

01:24interesting is about 90 percent 89.7 percent to be precise is located in

01:28retail brick-and-mortar not online. These guys I think maybe had some 20-20

01:33vision when they were picking their addressable market. So this is like a

01:35rags-to-riches entrepreneurial story right from the tiny pushcart to a huge

01:39brand where now the hippest of the hip buy these sunglasses. They're pretty

01:44expensive and they're kind of iconic but it might not be for the reasons that you

01:48think. Now what would I do if I was going to do it today? There's really if I'm

01:52going with it with an eyewear brand or something that I really consider an

01:55accessory which this is a cool factor. The only way that you're going to make

01:59real money in this space is if you can charge a premium. The only way you can

02:02charge a premium is typically if you have better distribution than everybody

02:05else because you can get more people to buy and more people to think that you

02:08are valuable. The fastest way to do that would probably be to partner with

02:11somebody who's cool which is why you see a bunch of celebrities that have

02:14sunglass lines or eyewear lines like this. So I would try to figure out who could be

02:18your cool factor or what could be your cool factor. The Algocoin Hotel. This

02:23business has existed since 1902. Famous hotel by a guy by the name of Frank Case.

02:28Fascinating story. He basically came up with a bunch of weird ideas about how to

02:33make a hotel unique like a hotel cat obviously. Who doesn't want one of those?

02:38He also came up with something called the $10,000 Martini which was sort of like

02:42you know something sexy to get PR and to get people into the hotel. As you can tell

02:46well you kind of can't tell because there's a bunch of stuff on here but

02:49this is old and it's in this area where they've basically torn down a bunch of

02:54the rest of the big buildings but this one's kept up and it might not be for

02:58the reason you think. How about instead of telling you how I would start this

03:01business why don't I tell you how I did start this business? It's Airbnb so I think

03:06hotels are the 2.0 3.0 way to start doing hospitality. Airbnbs are 1.0. You start

03:12with like a cheap Airbnb that everybody has. You make your Airbnb more unique

03:16like my friend Rob built. You can see some of the unique ones he's built and

03:20then eventually you scale that up to multiple properties and then a hotel. I

03:23would never start with a hotel. Start with something little and then build your

03:27way up until you're really good. Also this book's amazing. Unreasonable

03:30Hospitality if you haven't read it. Incredible book all about the

03:33hospitality industry. Let's talk marketing. So the guy creates this $10,000

03:38martini which is basically a normal martini with a bit of ice in the bottom which is

03:42actually a diamond only in New York but he didn't just do the fancy thing he

03:45actually gave discounts to struggling authors because he wanted to have the

03:48cool kids in town located here. Now there's a couple problems. Hotels in

03:52general I don't love because they are real estate categorized as a business

03:57which means they're really expensive. You got to have this big huge property but

04:01this one's interesting because they eventually have been bought again and

04:04again and again by a bunch of different people including now they're an

04:07autograph collection hotel. Another thing that's fascinating is these

04:11franchise hotel brands can control the fact that a lot of these businesses have

04:15tiny margins. For my Airbnbs we get pretty fancy and I want to show you some

04:18examples not of mine in particular but one of my friends because it's public on

04:22the internet. Basically here is a entire movie theater in the backyard just by

04:26having a screen that you pull down and get to project to things on having a

04:30little lighting across all of it. Really important too in Airbnbs and hotels

04:34it's what's called a magic moment. So what that means is there's

04:37somewhere that somebody wants to go Instagram photo. So what does that look

04:41like? It looks like murals. Robbilt's got a disco ball in the middle of a table

04:45that's for a bachelorette party in Austin Texas. The whole place is pink. He's got

04:49a pink pickleball court in the backyard. These days people want to stay in

04:53Airbnbs but they want to feel like it's special. There's nothing worse than going

04:57to a gross gnarly smelly corporate feeling Airbnb. You want to feel like you're

05:01having an experience and it's not that expensive to do inside of an Airbnb. So a lot of

05:05these businesses have been around for decades because the necessity their

05:08community feels about the services they provide. One thing that may not be on this

05:11list but I think is necessary, therapy. Definitely needed. I used to think that

05:16therapy was only needed during major problems but now I know that the

05:19consistent maintenance of this is so crucial in handling the stresses of

05:23business and life. I will always recommend therapy to my loved ones and

05:26since I love y'all I want to tell you about BetterHelp, the sponsor of today's

05:29video. A little insight into the life of an entrepreneur. At some point in your life as

05:33an entrepreneur you are gonna have a moment where you sit head in your hands

05:37in the dark uncertain of what to do next and when one of those moments hit there

05:41are very few people who understand it. I think that's when you talk to a

05:43therapist. By finding the right therapist that's not always easy and that's one of

05:48the things I love the most about BetterHelp. You can get matched with a

05:50therapist usually within 48 hours because sometimes you need it that quick

05:53and if you think it's not the right fit you can switch to a new therapist

05:56anytime no charge for switching. All you have to do is go to betterhelp.com

06:00slash Cody Sanchez fill out a few questions to get a therapist and a match

06:04in 48 hours. Click the link or choose Cody Sanchez during sign up you get a

06:08special little discount off your first month. Now back to the video but remember

06:11strong minds equal strong bank accounts. William Pohl is a total staple it started

06:17in 1921 and what's fascinating about this is it's a deli right but for European

06:22delicacies Upper East Side of New York a little bit fancy-smancy. Christine Pohl is the

06:27wife of the husband of this absolutely named deli and she actually became sort

06:32of famous on the food scene for creating some of their own food and styles. They're

06:36known for like these little little delicacies and canapes. Now what's

06:39interesting about this is a couple things. One tiny spot. Two look it's all named so

06:46it basically got its own white labeled product line. You've got a bunch of dips

06:50here you've got a bunch of crackers and over here what do you have but

06:54pre-packaged nuts I imagine sold that it quite a bit of a markup but because

06:58it's their name on it it's institutionalized. Really smart move

07:01tiny location all pre-made food nothing cooked on site and as you can see this

07:08place is about 60 percent it sells its own stuff not even third-party product

07:12which is probably why they've stayed in business also they have e-commerce so

07:16tiny storefront big name big e-commerce company. If I was gonna do this business

07:21today how would I think about doing it I would actually not partner with a

07:24celebrity on this business because who's gonna buy ham sent to your house from a

07:31celebrity I don't know maybe that exists instead I would go try to find a

07:35distribution partner what do I mean by that I would go and try to find who are

07:39the biggest distributors for food products to big grocery stores because

07:44we still buy our groceries from big grocery stores so the only way to do this

07:48and crush it in my opinion is to cozy up to your Whole Foods distributor the

07:52person who buys different products for Whole Foods you can actually do this

07:56easier than you might think you're like well Cody I don't live in Austin like you

07:59where the headquarters of Whole Foods is you know what I would do instead there's

08:03something called a local buyer for every grocery store so the local buyer is in

08:07charge of making the market feel like it is a local community store you can

08:11probably search them out on LinkedIn you could probably Google them you find

08:14your local buyer for local grocery stores and you partner with them you might

08:20find a third-party product that's not even yours and all your job is is to get

08:23it in stores get it in stores get it in stores this business has survived a long

08:27time it's also a hard business it's a food business and a perishable good

08:30business so be careful on this one even though I imagine they're still always

08:34gonna be here John Gallen and son construction founded in 1886 by John Gallen

08:41obviously the construction company is kind of fascinated it's been in the

08:44family for decades the interesting part about this is what is the business of

08:49New York at its very core it's real estate it's building big huge businesses

08:53this type of business is never going to not be needed they started off at masonry

08:58and concrete then they got huge projects fascinating as it's gone through seven

09:02generations and the younger generations they got to put in some work we're

09:06talking about going from laborers and masons and men with their hands actually

09:12building things to running the fast fancy office building but it all

09:16actually starts right here because it's construction Chris Gallen one of the sons

09:22had a great quote he said his father always used to tell them that only two

09:26things are always true in construction sometimes you're slow but you're gonna get

09:30busy and sometimes when you're busy you know that you're eventually gonna get

09:33slow if you can manage change between the two you can make a lot of money

09:37what's interesting about these guys is that they've carried it through multiple

09:40generations and also focus on the most profitable parts of construction

09:44businesses which are real estate development firms and specialized trades

09:48like HVAC plumbing and electrical and the construction they're in the other

09:52thing that this company's done that's interesting is now they focus on VC

09:56startup headquarter build out I bet that business sucks right now but that

10:00business was awesome since like 2009 2010 for the whole run-up if I was gonna do

10:05this business today what would I do truly guys I would buy this business there are

10:11so many small businesses out there in the construction space that have owners

10:15that are 65 plus years old that are getting ready to retire likely you're not

10:20like a construction guru a general contractor you don't know how to lay

10:25foundation so if you're gonna start a construction business unlike some of

10:28those other ones with Airbnbs why wouldn't you just buy all the SOPs

10:32processes homework people and clients and have a profitable business day one

10:38also if you like that idea click the link below our team tells people how we

10:41would think about starting to buy a business if you're interested it'll take

10:44you through a little one-step process and you can see if this might be a fit for

10:47you so like most of the trades they got a big issue which is skilled laborers kids

10:51aren't going into the trades anymore so they've actually got to fill these

10:54construction jobs which in New York are largely union jobs but they don't have a

10:58bunch of people to fill them with how do they deal with this well interesting

11:03they have a lot of loyalty to their people they didn't fire or lay off a

11:06single person in 2008 the company kept going kept paying even when the rest of

11:11the industry was deciding to this is a big industry I'm talking 2.1 trillion

11:17dollars in assets constructed when somebody asked Chris Galen one of the

11:21guys who runs it what they do for a living he said we deliver a good night's

11:24sleep if you think about it you hope your buildings made well the next thing I

11:28would do after I bought a construction company is I would really niche down

11:32riches are in niches so instead of saying I'm a construction company for

11:36everybody I would do what these guys did pick an edge say that you build all the

11:40startup VC headquarters located in Phoenix Arizona it's way easier to get

11:45higher ranking online with niche specialization plus your portfolio all

11:49looks the same I would also do one other thing I would get a signature look I

11:53would use Instagram to have a signature look for all the construction that I did

11:56Frank Lloyd Wright was a really famous architect in Arizona and all of his

12:00buildings look the same way when you do that people sort of seek after you like

12:04they would an artist that's what I would do if I was going to do today this is the

12:08year and started in 1817 this bad boy was actually a prohibition style

12:13speakeasy back in the day this thing has had a bunch of iterations from a bar to a

12:17restaurant to back to a bargain this is really a two-for-one to see this top

12:22area up there that has been both a smugglers den a brothel and also boarding

12:28house where people could stay they're doing activities if they were not doing

12:32activities you know double the income really this industry is big the bar

12:37industry is about a 247 billion dollar industry and there's a lot of them 67

12:42thousand bars and nightclubs in the US now the industry doesn't actually grow

12:46that much by about 1% a year but I have a bunch of friends that own bars and

12:50nightclubs and the whole game is can you make enough money in the first couple of

12:55years because typically these bad boys do not last 100 years like this one has the

13:00ones that do are often kind of the same shakedown they're small so they don't

13:05have a huge square footage they play into the fact that they're old so they're not

13:08always trying to do the hot new next concept they're typically cheaper

13:12because people are really just looking for a watering hole with a little bit of a

13:15legacy as opposed to the hot new such-and-such and the more history

13:20sometimes the better how would I do this today if I was gonna do it I would

13:24follow what call her daddy did which is Alex Cooper she hosts these pop-up bars

13:30now I heard through the grapevine I don't know if this is true sorry Alex if it's

13:34not that she made nine million dollars at the pop-up that she did at South by

13:38Southwest in Austin Texas fascinating it looks like a little bit of like a like a

13:43country Western bar people were lining up for hours she used her platform to do it

13:50she got it sponsored by a liquor company she hung out for a couple nights with

13:54her friends she wasn't there the whole time people came in and out of it they

13:57spent a ton of money on alcohol having a good time and she just popped in and out

14:02of existing bars gave them a little bit of a face paint but because it's only

14:05lasting for a week I imagine that she spent basically nothing revamping these

14:10this place and it was all about a few cool signs here and there and on to the

14:15next place how do I know that works well she did it again at the Kentucky Derby now do

14:19you have to be rich and famous to do a pop-up bar no absolutely not just come

14:23up with a cool theme how many of you guys are sitting around on a Sunday or

14:27Saturday thinking like where do we want to go are you gonna go to the same place

14:29I don't know are we gonna do it again or are we gonna have a one-time

14:32experience love this pop-up bar idea CEO Bigelow this is a pharmacy started in

14:381838 one of the longest-standing pharmacies now apothecaries back then think

14:44about this like you know your local CVS back in the day you can tell it's

14:49sold because it looks like it is this company's fascinating because they've

14:53always been known for making their own little proprietary blends so back in the

14:57day that was a bunch of herbal remedies today that things like compounds let's

15:01say that they do actually on-site it's also huge margins in that segment of the

15:06industry what's cool here is their ownership how they've passed it down this

15:10company is actually handed down ownership from employer to employee since the

15:15very beginning of this thing existing so how does a business like this stay in

15:18business when you've got CVS is all over the place and that's where people go

15:22for their pharmaceutical needs it's probably this one thing right here which

15:26is they stock some weird so if you would have asked me a few years ago how to beat

15:30competitors like CVS and Walgreens I would have said don't try that's a

15:33terrible idea they're huge but have you been in one of those things lately

15:36they're awful I think little stores like this are gonna have a complete

15:41resurgence because we're a little bit tired of with fluorescent lights all of the

15:46terrible things on shelves for you there's no curation there's nothing

15:49local there's nothing interesting mark my words just like we have seen

15:53specialty supermarkets pop up we are going to start seeing specialty corner

15:57stores you know what the cool part about this is is that means that you get to

16:00charge a premium you'd want to put this in an area where there's a lot of

16:03people who have disposable income cash and you could actually have an outfit

16:07there where like me there's a there's a store in Austin Texas called tiny

16:10grocer and every time I need a gift last minute I kind of always forget I run to

16:14the tiny grocer because they've got this cool curated gift segment too in an era

16:19where you can get everything you need long term from CVS and Walgreens and

16:24Amazon now almost same day or you can get it instacarted to you what's gonna make

16:30you go into a store and do the impulse purchases which is where actually these

16:34stores make all their money you have to curate cool shit so actually I think

16:37this business model is super interesting on a go for it basis you have to have some

16:41of the necessities like the NyQuil you know like the soda like the medicine and

16:47the pharmacy in the back but if you get the impulse purchases right up front

16:51because you've got an eye and a unique curation I think you can triple how much

16:55people spend on average in your store which means you can beat CVS and Walgreens

17:00Macy's although I probably wouldn't invest in retail this bad boy's been

17:05around forever way more than a hundred years you all know this story or I do

17:09you I'm gonna tell you about it you know what's fascinating about Macy's but not

17:12actually a department store what are they they're a marketer these guys are

17:15brilliant they started out in 1924 as a dry goods company then switched to

17:21clothing once they realized that dry goods are a commodity they have the Macy's

17:25Day Parade which is on Thanksgiving which is one of the biggest events still in

17:29the United States a hundred years later they also started this Santa Claus

17:34sitting on the lap phenomenon is that true that's what they say I'm asking

17:38Christian because he has a history there they started the Santa Claus sitting on

17:41the lap phenomenon in order to get people into the stores to sell a bunch of

17:45things they also started this idea of window shopping you know how you see all

17:48the window stuff and you know in the decorations and windows all over stores

17:52everywhere that was Macy's because they realized they wanted to entice you into

17:56their store that was their idea which is fascinating because this thing

17:59started after a buyout and a recession left them in a massive issue here's how

18:04I would do it today in fact she's already doing this this is Blogilates I

18:08think she has the best retail strategy of anybody I've ever seen she creates

18:12content so viral that is all actually an ad she actually uses her audience to tell

18:17her the clothing that she thinks that she should create and so she's drawing these

18:22images non-stop of different outfits then she sends them out to a few people has

18:27them try them on they create UGC user-generated content push it out for

18:32her and by the end she gets to use the entire process of creation as her ad it's

18:37brilliant she doesn't have to guess what's gonna work because her audience

18:39tells her and then she posts her L's non-stop like this this is the most

18:44ridiculous thing I've ever seen this is a hiking fishing camping synthetic onesie with a

18:52mosquito head cover in case you need it a zippable ability for you to go one and

18:58two in the wilderness should you need it and also turns into a tent which is just

19:03ridiculous and the reason she created this is because she created gardening coveralls and

19:08people are like that's not it so she went the opposite extreme this documenting creating in

19:13real time seeing if the audience want it and then she pre-orders like a crazy person meaning

19:18before that she creates a product in the beginning she often allows for pre-orders

19:22to see if people would buy it I would copy blog a lottie's model most people focus on

19:26what's changed I instead think you should focus on what's never changed and thus

19:31maybe what's not gonna change that's the difference between the people of

19:35businesses that last for decades and even a hundred years like this business so

19:40while everybody else is out there chasing the next shiny object the next AI the

19:44next get-rich-quick around here we do things differently we do things where we only

19:48have to do it once and we get to sell continuously we get to actually live

19:52our lives while we're doing it that's what we talk about at this channel so if

19:55you like it subscribe maybe you're one of us
