Roman Khan was $3 million in the hole at 32. By the time he hit his late thirties, he pulled eight figures in cash out of his businesses without selling a single one. The founder of Peak21 and the operator behind Linjer, Raycon, and Nutrition Kitchen walks through the supply chain mechanics that made it possible: bill of materials, payment terms, consignment structures, and how to make your supplier front the capital. He covers dividend recaps, the red/green/blue Slack system he uses to manage 110 people across six cities, and the A Method hiring framework that cut his team turnover by half. This one's part operator manual, part wealth-building case study.
