LEVEL SIX: Serial Entrepreneur on Why Everything in Business Is Ones and Zeros

Send us Fan MailLevel 5: $30M-$100M Executive Layer and Division Growth On today’s episode of The Business Game, we’re sitting down with Robert Indries, Managing Partner of Elkridge Advisors. Robert is an engineer turned powerhouse entrepreneur who has generated more than $500 million in business value, built a diverse parallel portfolio of companies, and successfully executed an eight-figure exit from an AI venture.  Robert’s path wasn't built on the typical "Instagram entrepreneur" fantasy. From growing up on a small Transylvanian farm to hitting absolute rock bottom, eating one Subway sandwich a day with only $100 left to his name. Robert learned the hard way that business operates on cold, hard math, not wishful thinking. Today, he looks at the world like a motherboard, designing systems with absolute redundancy so businesses can thrive entirely without him.  In this episode, Robert cracks open the playbook on Level 6 business growth, sharing why he views life and operations through a binary lens: it's either a one or a zero, there is no gray area.  Lets dive in, With Robert Indries: Why 96% of businesses never hit seven figures, and why true statistical wealth is actually built through careers.  How treating business like a motherboard eliminates key-person dependencies and systemic collapse.  How losing all his savings in a disastrous early venture completely revolutionized his rule on getting paid upfront.  The precise criteria Robert uses before doing business with anyone, including why it must make money, make the world better, and feature people he actually likes.  Why high-level founders focus exclusively on the upside of an investment rather than the price tag.  Why Robert prefers stepping back as a "support character" or "tank" rather than chasing fame, finding his joy in watching his team win.  A candid look at the emotional toll of high-stakes business, navigating internal turmoil, and taking action anyway.  Whether you’re looking to untangle your operations, transition from operator to true owner, or figure out how to scale dozens of cross-border acquisitions a year, Robert’s unfiltered, mathematical approach to business excellence will fundamentally change how you view your company.  Connect with Robert Indries Website - https://elkridgeadvisors.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertindries/ The Business Game is proud to partner with HighLevel, the all-in-one CRM and marketing platform built for growing businesses  High Level’s software will drive your customer retention and your profits through the stratosphere - so click here for your 14-day free trial: https://www.gohighlevel.com/?fp_ref=ribu88 This episode contains affiliate advertising.
