What happens when a real estate investor trades property for vending machines?

After years of investing in Chicago real estate, Anthony Kolodziej was looking for a new way to build recurring cash flow without the larger upfront capital often required in real estate. That led him into the vending industry and eventually to building H&H Vending into a business with 80+ machines across 45+ locations.

In this episode, Anthony shares his journey from real estate investor to vending entrepreneur, including the lessons he learned about finding locations, building recurring revenue, and scaling a simple business into a growing operation. We also explore how his experience led him to Vendingpreneurs, where he now helps other entrepreneurs learn how to start and grow their own vending businesses.
