He shares four questions every founder should answer before turning a collection into capital.\nRecorded at The National in the Card Ladder booth, Brett also sits down with Steve Sloan, CEO of Heystack and former president of PSA. They discuss building technology for the card industry, earning business partnerships, hiring for a startup, and why every operating decision reaches the collector.\nThe collector may never see the systems behind a card business. They will feel the results.\nSign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for free\nGet exclusive content, promote your cards, and connect with other collectors who listen to the pod today by joining the Patreon: Join Stacking Slabs Podcast Patreon\nFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/MBEEY6L_Eg3XlTtfD_e6LB4wbm-JGqV-0i2jbmCO4I0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEwMDA3LzE1ODc5/MTIzMzAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
