In this episode, Michael Girdley and Heather Endresen dive into a unique business listing: a $1.35 million aerial adventure and ropes course park located outside Bailey, Colorado. The business sits on 12 commercial acres with a yurt office, restrooms, and a 916 sq ft building. Despite claiming top-tier equipment and 13 employees, the listing frustratingly reveals no financials—no revenue, no EBITDA, and questionable real estate clarity.

Key Highlights:
- Asking $1.35M for an aerial adventure park on 12 acres near Bailey, Colorado
- No revenue, EBITDA, or real estate clarity disclosed—raising major red flags
- Highly seasonal, heavy marketing needs, plus liability insurance due to inherent risks
- Likely built as a wealthy owner’s “fun hobby,” now trying to sell
- Michael and Heather both give a clear thumbs down on pursuing this deal
