Send us Fan Mail

Everyone online is telling you to buy a business, start an agency, or chase the next big opportunity. But what if they're pushing you toward the wrong businesses?

In this episode of The Alchemist's Library, Ryan sits down with Bodhi Gallo, founder of Stryker Digital, a home service marketing agency generating approximately $1 million per month in revenue, to discuss entrepreneurship, buying small businesses, SBA loans, local SEO, and the most overlooked business opportunities.

Bodhi explains why inexperienced entrepreneurs are losing money acquiring "boring businesses," how he helped grow a generator maintenance company from zero to $400,000 in six months, and why he believes house cleaning is one of the most attractive service businesses to start.

We also explore how he built a seven-figure monthly agency, generated millions in business revenue through Twitter, uses AI to improve marketing, and approaches hiring, scaling, and customer acquisition.

Whether you're considering leaving your corporate job, starting a service business, or buying an existing company, this conversation offers a perspective from someone actively building and operating businesses.
