With roots in the first Bush administration’s Presidential Personnel Office, Les has spent 30+ years advising leaders. His new book Aware: The Power of Seeing Yourself Clearly dives deep into the science and practice of self-awareness in leadership.<br /><br />Summary:<br />On the How2Exit Podcast, Ron Skelton sits down with Les Csorba, a veteran executive coach, author, and partner at Heidrick &amp; Struggles. With more than three decades in executive search and CEO coaching, Les shares a powerful perspective: leadership—not just capital, strategy, or technology—is the determining factor in building and sustaining successful businesses. His insights highlight why self-awareness, humility, and feedback cultures matter more than ever in today’s high-stakes M&amp;A environment.<br /><br />The conversation digs into the nuances of finding the right CEO, avoiding the trap of “people pleasing,” and why so many deals fail due to culture, not spreadsheets. Les also teases his new book Aware: The Power of Seeing Yourself Clearly, where he unpacks why most leaders think they’re self-aware but aren’t—and what it takes to close that gap.<br /><br />The Key Takeaways:<br /><br />Leadership Greater than Capital or Strategy: While capital, strategy, and technology are vital, Les stresses that leadership is the real driver of long-term business success.<br /><br />The Self-Awareness Factor: The best leaders balance strong confidence with humility and candid self-reflection—an incredibly rare skill set.<br /><br />People Pleasing Is a Blind Spot: Over half of leaders identify as people pleasers, which often results in poor decisions like leaving the wrong people in key roles.<br /><br />Feedback Culture is Essential Great organizations don’t wait for annual reviews—they create ongoing, transparent feedback loops where leaders and teams hold each other accountable.<br /><br />Integration Is Where Deals Fail Many M&amp;A transactions collapse not over numbers, but because two cultures can’t align. Leadership due diligence is as critical as financial diligence.<br /><br />Few CEOs Last Long-Term Most CEOs average 5–6 years in the role; exceptions like Jamie Dimon succeed by reinventing themselves and empowering strong lieutenants.<br /><br />Blind Spots Are Universal Every leader has blind spots.

His career began in the fitness and wellness space before shifting into software, tech, and eventually structured M&amp;A. Now the founder of FM Capital and FM Advisory, Fadi partners with operators and investors to fund deals, implement systems, and position companies for high-value exits. He is currently raising a $100M fund and works with over 60 independent advisors across his network.<br /><br />Summary:<br />In this episode of the How to Exit Podcast, Ron sits down with Fadi Malouf, a seasoned M&amp;A strategist and founder of FM Capital and FM Advisory. Fadi shares a refreshingly candid look into his evolution from personal trainer to software company exit, to advising and funding acquisition deals in the lower-middle market. The conversation covers not only how Fadi thinks about deal structure, ownership vs. control, and turnaround risk—but also how his personal values and lived experiences shape the way he buys and builds businesses.<br /><br />Listeners will find this episode especially compelling if they’re trying to bridge the gap between being an operator and becoming an investor. Fadi doesn’t hold back on his disdain for turnaround deals, his belief in control over ownership, and his obsession with systems, delegation, and operational execution. But what makes this interview resonate is the philosophical undercurrent: businesses are problems to be solved, but you better love solving them.<br /><br />Key Takeaways:<br />Buy with an exit in mind – Fadi learned the hard way that starting a company without thinking about its eventual exit is a recipe for pain and lost value.<br /><br />Turnarounds are not for amateurs – He strongly advises new buyers to avoid turnaround deals unless they have the capital, team, and turnaround-specific experience.<br /><br />Control beats ownership – Fadi prioritizes control over equity, emphasizing results and alignment rather than maximizing ownership at the expense of execution.<br /><br />The real bottleneck is often the founder – Companies under $3M in revenue are frequently hampered by owners who haven’t fired themselves from key roles.<br /><br />Invest in systems and delegation early – Fadi emphasizes the importance of building a company that runs without you; hire people smarter than you and get out of the way.<br /><br />Culture kills or scales – If you buy a company with entrenched staff resistant to change, expect a battle. Culture change is slow and hard.<br /><br />Capital without credibility is a deal killer – Bringing money to the table means nothing if the operator can’t prove capability or relinquish control.<br /><br />Fall in love with the problem – You’ll face chaos, adversity, and setbacks. If you don’t love what you’re doing, it’ll break you.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Fadi on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fadimalouf/<br />Website: https://fadimalouf.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬...?<br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />👍 Like the video (it helps a ton!)<br />💬 Comment below to share your opinion!<br />🔗 Share the video with anyone you think might help :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />📱Stay Tuned On Our Social Media :<br />» Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/<br />» Twitter - https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton<br />» Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit<br />» Newsletter - http://deeper.how2exit.com/<br /><br />🎬SUGGESTED VIDEOS<br />Don't forget to watch 📽 Our other videos.

From growing a finance firm in the depths of the 2008 crisis to diving headfirst into cannabis cultivation, clean energy, and even competitive fashion, Miller blends strategy with heart. He’s a global speaker, EO member, MIT graduate, and firm believer that small business is powered by soul—not spreadsheets. His coaching practice is rooted in aligning people, strategy, and scalable systems to turn growth into exit velocity.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />David Miller’s journey isn’t your typical “finance guy turned entrepreneur” story—it’s a gritty, globe-spanning career that merges heart and horsepower. From buying his first company via seller financing to managing roll-ups in industries as varied as cannabis, clean energy, fashion, and finance, Miller shares hard-earned insights from the trenches. In this in-depth episode, Ron Skelton and David dig into what actually makes M&amp;A work—hint: it’s not just spreadsheets and strategy. It’s trust. Culture. Emotional intelligence.<br /><br />This conversation serves as a blueprint for anyone serious about scaling through acquisition. Whether you're on your first deal or your fifteenth, Miller’s frameworks around emotional readiness, culture integration, and trust-building are worth replaying. Often.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways</b><ol><li>M&amp;A Begins with Trust: Deals live and die on rapport—not just with the seller, but with the acquired team. Trust is the true currency in successful transactions.</li><li>Seller-Financing Wins: Miller's first acquisition was a small, seller-financed deal—highlighting that not every transaction needs SBA debt or a PE fund.</li><li>Don’t Skip Culture Fit: A players don’t stick around if you bulldoze culture.

From growing a finance firm in the depths of the 2008 crisis to diving headfirst into cannabis cultivation, clean energy, and even competitive fashion, Miller blends strategy with heart. He’s a global speaker, EO member, MIT graduate, and firm believer that small business is powered by soul—not spreadsheets. His coaching practice is rooted in aligning people, strategy, and scalable systems to turn growth into exit velocity.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />David Miller’s journey isn’t your typical “finance guy turned entrepreneur” story—it’s a gritty, globe-spanning career that merges heart and horsepower. From buying his first company via seller financing to managing roll-ups in industries as varied as cannabis, clean energy, fashion, and finance, Miller shares hard-earned insights from the trenches. In this in-depth episode, Ron Skelton and David dig into what actually makes M&amp;A work—hint: it’s not just spreadsheets and strategy. It’s trust. Culture. Emotional intelligence.<br /><br />This conversation serves as a blueprint for anyone serious about scaling through acquisition. Whether you're on your first deal or your fifteenth, Miller’s frameworks around emotional readiness, culture integration, and trust-building are worth replaying. Often.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways</b><ol><li>M&amp;A Begins with Trust: Deals live and die on rapport—not just with the seller, but with the acquired team. Trust is the true currency in successful transactions.</li><li>Seller-Financing Wins: Miller's first acquisition was a small, seller-financed deal—highlighting that not every transaction needs SBA debt or a PE fund.</li><li>Don’t Skip Culture Fit: A players don’t stick around if you bulldoze culture. Integration takes time, patience, and listening.</li><li>Vision Without Execution is Fantasy: Miller emphasizes method + magic = alchemy. Intuition and process must coexist.</li><li>Diversification is Learnable: He’s run companies in industries as varied as cannabis, fintech, and fashion. Why? Because business fundamentals—people, process, and trust—are universal.</li><li>Buyers Often Move Too Fast: Rushing in to change systems, fire people, or “fix” things too soon leads to resistance and turnover. Observe before acting.</li><li>You Might Outgrow Your Business: Founders need to recognize when their business has surpassed their skillset—and decide whether to level up or step aside.</li><li>Most M&amp;A Fails Are People Failures: 70% of acquisitions fail, and it’s rarely because of numbers. It’s trust breakdowns, poor communication, and mismanaged change.</li></ol><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact David on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-miller-business-coach/<br />Website: davidmiller.buzz<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬...?<br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />👍 Like the video (it helps a ton!)<br />💬 Comment below to share your opinion!<br />🔗 Share the video with anyone you think might help :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />📱Stay Tuned On Our Social Media :<br />» Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/<br />» Twitter - https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton<br />» Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit<br />» Newsletter - http://deeper.how2exit.com/<br /><br...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3529</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>acquisition-strategies,building-rapport,business-exit-tips,entrepreneurship,exiting-a-business,how-to-buy-a-business,m&amp;a,m&amp;a-podcasts,mergers-and-acquisition,selling-a-business</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/430e37f0a1634ab17c7f53ff5d487d59.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>E285: How to Sell a Business in Puerto Rico (Without Losing Your Mind or Millions)</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/e285-how-to-sell-a-business-in-puerto-rico-without-losing-your-mind-or-millions--66656482</link><description><![CDATA[<b>Watch here:</b> https://youtu.be/ru4JXKUa180<br /><br /><b>About the Guest: </b><br />Francisco Uriarte is Managing Partner at Connelly Capital, a Puerto Rico-based M&amp;A advisory firm. With over 60 transactions completed and $800 million in closed deals, Uriarte combines operational experience as a former business owner with a deep understanding of sell-side representation, especially in the unique legal and cultural context of Puerto Rico. His firm operates across Latin America and the continental U.S., but remains rooted in his home market, guiding business owners through one of the most emotional and financially significant decisions of their lives.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />Francisco Uriarte didn’t plan on becoming a mergers and acquisitions advisor—he lived it first. From running a cheese factory to building a supermarket chain, his hands-on entrepreneurial background shaped how he approaches dealmaking in Puerto Rico today. In this episode of How2Exit, Francisco takes us behind the curtain of buying and selling businesses in a unique legal and cultural environment. His firm, Connelly Capital, has completed over $800 million in transactions, specializing in helping sellers prepare the right way—mentally, financially, and operationally.<br /><br />Uriarte’s experience-based wisdom turns the abstract into the actionable. This isn’t theory. It’s field-tested insight from someone who’s sat in every seat of the table—buyer, seller, and advisor. If you’re thinking about buying in Puerto Rico or just want to better understand the human and technical nuances of closing deals, this is one of the most practical and well-rounded episodes in the series.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ol><li>Seller psychology is everything – If the seller doesn’t have a clear “Plan B” after the sale, they may subconsciously sabotage the deal.</li><li>Pre-sale readiness is underrated – Many businesses, especially sub-$3M in revenue, don’t keep formal books. That can make them unsellable.</li><li>Quality of earnings is make or break – A clean, reliable QofE builds trust fast. Sloppy books erode it instantly.</li><li>Working capital traps are real – Mismanaging receivables, payables, or inventory can silently kill your valuation.</li><li>Puerto Rico adds complexity – Buyers need local counsel due to differences in labor law, taxes, and asset/stock sale implications.</li><li>Culture matters more than projections – Uriarte advises buyers to prioritize growth culture over growth forecasts.</li><li>Trust beats valuation – The highest bid doesn’t always win. Preparedness, transparency, and trust often close the deal.</li><li>Rep and warranty insurance is rare but growing – It's underutilized in smaller deals, but that’s beginning to change.</li></ol><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Francisco on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/franciscouriarte/<br />Website: http://www.connellycap.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬...?<br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />👍 Like the video (it helps a ton!)<br />💬 Comment below to share your opinion!<br />🔗 Share the video with anyone you think might help :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />📱Stay Tuned On Our Social Media :<br />» Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/<br />» Twitter - https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton<br />» Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit<br />» Newsletter - http://deeper.how2exit.com/<br /><br />🎬SUGGESTED VIDEOS<br />Don't forget to watch 📽 Our other videos.

With decades of experience spanning institutional finance, entrepreneurship, and real estate, Monica brings an unmatched blend of analytical rigor and human insight. She’s also the author of The Power of Breath: The Gift of Self-Actualization Through Meditation and is currently developing offerings in personal and business finance to help people scale or exit with grace—and clarity.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this refreshingly unique episode of the How2Exit podcast, host Ron Skelton sits down with Monica Garcia—a former investment banker, serial entrepreneur, and breathwork advocate—for a dynamic conversation that fuses the hard numbers of finance with the soft power of emotional intelligence. Monica unpacks her journey from English major to high-level financial analyst, her path to launching and exiting a successful company, and the surprising role breathwork played in helping her—and her clients—make smarter business decisions.<br /><br />What starts as a conversation about buying and selling companies becomes a masterclass in how personal awareness, emotional regulation, and intentional calm can make you not only a better businessperson, but a wealthier one. With over 30 years of financial experience, Monica proves that deep breaths and deep spreadsheets are not mutually exclusive—they’re complementary. <br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ol><li>Monica's Unique Origin Story: She started as an English and rhetoric major aiming for law school but fell into investment banking through a temp job—and never looked back.</li><li>From Analyst to Operator: After earning her Series 7 and 63 licenses and getting deep into finance, she pivoted into real estate investing, entrepreneurship, and consulting, eventually launching and selling a company after 16 years.</li><li>The Exit Process: It took Monica and her team three years to prepare their business for a successful exit, including rebranding and building SOPs that made the company operate independently of its founders.</li><li>Post-Exit Transition: Unlike many founders, she stayed on for three years post-sale to support the acquirer’s team—a 100-year-old company that had previously struggled with a hands-off acquisition.</li><li>Breathwork as a Secret Weapon: Monica discovered breathwork during a personal health crisis and now teaches it as a tool to improve decision-making, reduce stress, and regulate nervous system responses—especially during high-stakes transactions like exits.</li><li>Combining Logic and Intuition: Monica advises founders to create a “contract with themselves” about their exit terms and to use breathwork to stay grounded when emotions or outside pressures threaten to override those decisions.</li><li>Breathwork = Better Returns: She claims that making decisions from a calm, regulated state can improve your financial decision-making by up to 30%.</li><li>Beyond Money: Wealth, according to Monica, is not just financial—it's emotional, physical, and relational. Breathwork enhances all of it.</li></ol><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Monica on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicagduggal/<br />Website: https://www.monicagarciaduggal.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬...?<br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />👍 Like the video (it helps a ton!)<br />💬 Comment below to share your opinion!<br />🔗 Share the video with anyone you think might help :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />📱Stay Tuned On Our Social Media :<br />» Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/<br />» Twitter - https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton<br />» Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit<br />» Newsletter - http://deeper.how2exit.com/<br /><br />🎬SUGGESTED VIDEOS<br />Don't forget to watch 📽 Our other videos.

With over 30 years of financial experience, Monica proves that deep breaths and deep spreadsheets are not mutually exclusive—they’re complementary. <br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ol><li>Monica's Unique Origin Story: She started as an English and rhetoric major aiming for law school but fell into investment banking through a temp job—and never looked back.</li><li>From Analyst to Operator: After earning her Series 7 and 63 licenses and getting deep into finance, she pivoted into real estate investing, entrepreneurship, and consulting, eventually launching and selling a company after 16 years.</li><li>The Exit Process: It took Monica and her team three years to prepare their business for a successful exit, including rebranding and building SOPs that made the company operate independently of its founders.</li><li>Post-Exit Transition: Unlike many founders, she stayed on for three years post-sale to support the acquirer’s team—a 100-year-old company that had previously struggled with a hands-off acquisition.</li><li>Breathwork as a Secret Weapon: Monica discovered breathwork during a personal health crisis and now teaches it as a tool to improve decision-making, reduce stress, and regulate nervous system responses—especially during high-stakes transactions like exits.</li><li>Combining Logic and Intuition: Monica advises founders to create a “contract with themselves” about their exit terms and to use breathwork to stay grounded when emotions or outside pressures threaten to override those decisions.</li><li>Breathwork = Better Returns: She claims that making decisions from a calm, regulated state can improve your financial decision-making by up to 30%.</li><li>Beyond Money: Wealth, according to Monica, is not just financial—it's emotional, physical, and relational. Breathwork enhances all of it.</li></ol><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Monica on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicagduggal/<br />Website: https://www.monicagarciaduggal.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3666</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>breathwork-for-business,building-rapport,business-exit-strategies,entrepreneurship,how-to-sell-your-company,m&amp;a,m&amp;a-exit-strategies,m&amp;a-podcasts,mergers-and-acquisitions,monica-garcia-interview,selling-your-business-tips</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/7d23c264de7ba60dfe2520e2fe94148c.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>E283: Callum on Building Trust, Board Power, and the Agglomeration Exit Strategy for Entrepreneurs</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/e283-callum-on-building-trust-board-power-and-the-agglomeration-exit-strategy-for-entrepreneurs--66420998</link><description><![CDATA[About the Guest:<br />Callum Laing is not your average M&amp;A expert. A serial entrepreneur and the author of four books (Agglomerate, Progressive Partnerships, Boardroom Blueprint, and Entrepreneurial Investing), Laing is also the founder of Unity Group, the Veblen Director Program, and Guild. His work focuses on democratizing board access, simplifying capital raising, and helping legacy business owners scale without losing control. His innovation in the agglomeration model challenges the assumptions of private equity and redefines how small businesses can achieve scale and liquidity.<br /><br />Summary:<br />In this episode of How2Exit, guest host Roger Glovsky dives into the nuanced world of M&amp;A and business trust-building with Callum Laing—an entrepreneur, author, and architect of the agglomeration model. With over 100 M&amp;A transactions under his belt, Laing reveals why the most valuable asset in business isn’t capital—it’s trust. From forming influential board networks to designing incentive-aligned holding companies, Laing explains how deeply human psychology shapes scalable business outcomes, especially when preparing to exit. The conversation spans innovative M&amp;A structures, the underestimated power of personal connections, and why tech-savvy entrepreneurs must still master the art of building real relationships—especially in an AI-driven world.<br /><br />Key Takeaways:<br />Boards as a Competitive Advantage: A functional, diverse, and supportive board not only adds credibility during an exit but also ensures operational continuity—making a business more attractive to acquirers.<br /><br />Access vs. Opportunity: The Veblen Director Program was designed to break barriers for overlooked professionals (e.g., those without elite credentials), helping them land their first board seats and contribute meaningfully.<br /><br />Guild as a Capital-Raising Network: Laing’s second venture, Guild, evolved to teach entrepreneurs how to raise capital by first understanding investor needs—flipping the traditional pitch-first model on its head.<br /><br />Trust Multiplies Velocity: Trust accelerates deal flow, reduces friction, and increases the efficiency of capital and collaboration. Building a public profile plays a critical role in earning it.<br /><br />Give First, Gain Later: Inspired by concepts like the Boulder Thesis and Adam Grant's Give and Take, Laing emphasizes building relationships by offering value before asking for anything in return.<br /><br />The Agglomeration Model: Laing’s signature innovation—business owners join a public holdco by exchanging private shares, keeping operational control while benefiting from scale, liquidity, and mutual incentives.<br /><br />AI Will Amplify the Human: As AI automates tasks, the human edge will lie in trust-building, empathy, and long-term relationship management—skills no algorithm can yet replicate.<br /><br />Longevity Over Hype: Contrary to Silicon Valley’s growth-at-all-costs model, Laing designs business systems with staying power, informed by centuries-old governance principles.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Callum on<br />Linkedin:<br />Website:<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬...?<br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />👍 Like the video (it helps a ton!)<br />💬 Comment below to share your opinion!<br />🔗 Share the video with anyone you think might help :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />📱Stay Tuned On Our Social Media :<br />» Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/<br />» Twitter - https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton<br />» Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit<br />» Newsletter - http://deeper.how2exit.com/<br /><br />🎬SUGGESTED VIDEOS<br />Don't forget to watch 📽 Our other videos.

His background is as varied as it is inspiring: from rugby coach to pizza delivery driver to sales manager at CarMax, to eventually buying and selling his own businesses. Today, he helps over 110 small businesses reach profitability through consulting, marketing, and strategic advisory. With clients ranging from gymnastics gyms to local banks and contractors, Andy’s team becomes the trusted growth partner business owners call when they're staring at the ceiling at 3am.<br /><br />Summary:<br />In this episode of How2Exit, host Ronald Skelton sits down with Andy Seeley, CEO and co-founder of Creatively Disruptive—a marketing firm built with the heart of a small business owner in mind. From his humble beginnings delivering pizza and coaching rugby, Andy takes us on a journey through his first business acquisition, the painful lessons of the Great Recession, and the creation of a marketing agency dedicated to not just ads, but sustained profit and legacy-minded growth.<br /><br />This conversation isn’t just about marketing—it’s a playbook for anyone looking to grow a business that can be sold, scaled, or succeeded. Whether you’re looking for marketing advice, trying to build a business that isn’t just a glorified job, or prepping for an eventual exit, Andy brings real-world wisdom, tactical insight, and a lot of heart.<br /><br />Key Takeaways:<br />Build your business like you’re going to sell it—even if you don’t. Creating a business with an exit mindset forces smarter systems, better financial tracking, and a more independent team.<br /><br />Know your numbers. Track your metrics. Too many small business owners fly blind. Understanding lead cost, client lifetime value, and profitability changes everything. <br /><br />Profit beats revenue—every time. “Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity.” Andy’s agency prioritizes actual business growth over hollow vanity metrics.<br /><br />Most businesses aren’t failing—the owner’s systems are. Drawing from the “dog whisperer” analogy, Andy says it’s not the marketing or the platform—it’s usually the operator. And changing behavior is key.<br /><br />Hire an agency that thinks like a partner, not a vendor. Look for agencies that consult on financials, profitability, and goals—not just ads.<br /><br />AI is a business owner’s multiplier—but you still need a BS meter. AI can do wonders, but it takes wisdom to know when it’s wrong and when it’s working.<br /><br />Build a team. Business is a team sport. Success doesn’t come from solopreneurship—it comes from surrounding yourself with mentors, consultants, and staff who elevate your game.<br /><br />Don’t hand over your business systems. Own them. Even if you hire experts, Andy stresses that business owners must know enough to make smart decisions.

He’s navigated both the boardrooms of Fortune 500 companies and the trenches of small business ownership—including launching a yoga franchise. Today, he helps small business owners prepare financially for growth, funding, and exits, specializing in turning messy books into stories buyers want to hear.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this episode of How2Exit, Ron sits down with Rosco Graves—former Deloitte advisor turned entrepreneurial CFO—to unravel the financial blind spots that plague many small businesses.

Based in the Pacific Northwest, John runs Nokomis Advisory Services alongside his daughter, focusing on $5–15 million deals. He’s also the author of five books, including Buying a Business That Makes You Rich and If They Can Sell Pet Rocks, Why Can't You Sell Your Business?<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this insightful episode of How2Exit, host Ron Skelton sits down with seasoned M&amp;A advisor and author John Martinka, founder of Nokomis Advisory Services.

A former Air Force veteran and Microsoft engineer, Jed’s journey into entrepreneurship was marked by soaring ambition — and a brutal, humbling failure that left him facing nearly $1 million in personally guaranteed debt. Rather than hiding, Jed leaned in, building a growing community of fellow acquisition entrepreneurs committed to telling the full truth about the real risks behind buying businesses. He now actively shares his hard-won lessons through his writing, speaking engagements, and his "Start Searching Challenge" program for first-time buyers.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this raw and revealing conversation, Ron Skelton sits down with Jed Morris, Managing Partner of Sunset Coast Partners, to unpack the brutally honest realities of buying small businesses. A fellow veteran and self-funded searcher turned investor, Jed shares his journey from military service to big tech — and then into the world of business acquisitions, including his painful first-hand experience with failure, personal guarantees, and crushing debt. This isn't a feel-good "buy a business with no money down" fantasy — it's a boots-on-the-ground look at the risks, the egos, the missteps, and the hidden hazards first-time buyers need to face if they want a real shot at success. Far from doom and gloom, the episode offers sharp wisdom for new buyers: how to approach culture shock, why the "passive ownership" myth is dangerous, and the reality that buying a business means buying people first. It's a masterclass in what can go wrong — and what it actually takes to do it right.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ol><li>Buying businesses is buying culture, not just cash flow.<br />Success hinges more on managing people and adapting to inherited cultures than on financial spreadsheets.</li><li>"No money down" deals are real — but extremely rare and dangerously hyped.<br />Buyers pursuing these unicorns must be ready for much higher risk profiles and massive deal flow effort.</li><li>First-time buyers drastically underestimate change management.<br />Rolling into a 30-year-old business and expecting quick improvements without cultural buy-in is a recipe for revolt.</li><li>Early relationships with PE firms and investment bankers are critical.<br />If you're planning to flip a business to private equity later, you better design the acquisition and growth with their preferences from day one.</li><li>In distress, culture collapses faster than cash flow.<br />When things go wrong, the hidden dynamics — loyalty, trust, morale — become your battlefield, not just your P&amp;L.</li><li>Defense contracting offers real opportunity, but brings unique barriers.<br />Issues like security clearances, government contract classifications, and niche buyer pools make it a specialized but lucrative target market.</li><li>Surviving business ownership demands humility, patience, and real respect for frontline workers.<br />Ivy League degrees and fancy vests won't save you from getting "eaten alive" if you can't relate to your workforce.</li><li>Building for an exit must start before you buy.<br />If you don't know what a future buyer needs — team, systems, margins — you're not "building to sell," you're just surviving.</li></ol><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Jed on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jedmorris/<br />Website: https://jedbmorris.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬...?<br /> ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />👍 Like the video (it helps a ton!)<br />💬 Comment below to share your opinion!<br />🔗 Share the video with anyone you think might help :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />📱Stay Tuned On Our Social Media :<br />» Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/<br />» Twitter - https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton<br />» Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit<br />» Newsletter - http://deeper.how2exit.com/<br /><br />🎬SUGGESTED VIDEOS<br />Don't forget to watch 📽 Our other videos.

It's a masterclass in what can go wrong — and what it actually takes to do it right.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ol><li>Buying businesses is buying culture, not just cash flow.<br />Success hinges more on managing people and adapting to inherited cultures than on financial spreadsheets.</li><li>"No money down" deals are real — but extremely rare and dangerously hyped.<br />Buyers pursuing these unicorns must be ready for much higher risk profiles and massive deal flow effort.</li><li>First-time buyers drastically underestimate change management.<br />Rolling into a 30-year-old business and expecting quick improvements without cultural buy-in is a recipe for revolt.</li><li>Early relationships with PE firms and investment bankers are critical.<br />If you're planning to flip a business to private equity later, you better design the acquisition and growth with their preferences from day one.</li><li>In distress, culture collapses faster than cash flow.<br />When things go wrong, the hidden dynamics — loyalty, trust, morale — become your battlefield, not just your P&amp;L.</li><li>Defense contracting offers real opportunity, but brings unique barriers.<br />Issues like security clearances, government contract classifications, and niche buyer pools make it a specialized but lucrative target market.</li><li>Surviving business ownership demands humility, patience, and real respect for frontline workers.<br />Ivy League degrees and fancy vests won't save you from getting "eaten alive" if you can't relate to your workforce.</li><li>Building for an exit must start before you buy.<br />If you don't know what a future buyer needs — team, systems, margins — you're not "building to sell," you're just surviving.</li></ol><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Jed on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jedmorris/<br />Website: https://jedbmorris.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3129</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>entrepreneurship,exit-planning,exit-strategies,m&amp;a-podcast,mergers-and-acquisitions</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/535f2d7079558ef29d77ccb82206c6d6.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>E277: Most Marketing Teams Get Axed After a Sale - Here's How to Make Yours Unkillable</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/e277-most-marketing-teams-get-axed-after-a-sale-here-s-how-to-make-yours-unkillable--65624224</link><description><![CDATA[<b>Watch here:</b> https://youtu.be/BbypHaRpOtA<br /><br /><b>About the Guest:</b> <br />Victoria Hajjar is the founder of Ugli Ventures and a marketing strategist with deep experience building brands from the inside out.

Her superpower? Turning messy marketing into a growth asset—fast.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this episode of How2Exit, host Ron Skelton sits down with Victoria Hajjar, founder and CEO of Ugli Ventures, for an energetic, no-fluff conversation about what it really takes to build a marketing machine that adds value in an M&amp;A context. Instead of chasing vanity metrics or relying on branding for branding’s sake, Hajjar breaks down the systems, scorecards, and human factors that make marketing a driver—not a passenger—of enterprise value.

At 55, with a Gandalf-like beard and 20 years in digital marketing, he’s positioned himself as the “voice of reason” in a landscape full of overhype and under-delivery. His company, White Beard Strategies, teaches business owners how to use AI without losing their minds—or their margins. Mast’s approach blends deep industry experience with a no-nonsense communication style. He’s not selling pipe dreams; he’s offering a toolkit.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this refreshingly candid episode of the How2Exit Podcast, Ron Skelton flips the usual script. Instead of diving into how to buy or sell companies, he sits down with Jonathan Mast—founder of White Beard Strategies and self-declared AI pragmatist—to tackle a more pressing question: Now that you've bought a business, how do you scale it with AI? With a long white beard and a sharper edge on reality than most AI evangelists or fearmongers, Mast offers a grounded, practical view of how artificial intelligence is changing the game for business owners. From cutting costs without cutting quality, to using AI as a "force multiplier" for human creativity, the conversation strips away the hype and lays down a roadmap that business buyers and owners can actually use.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ol><li>AI is an “Easier Button,” Not an Easy Button: Mast cautions that AI won’t magically solve all your problems—but it will streamline, accelerate, and amplify your existing business processes if used right.</li><li>Prompt Engineering is Just Delegation 2.0: The most effective prompts treat AI like a new hire—tell it what role it’s playing, what task you need, what the output should look like, and give it context. Then ask, “Do you have any questions?”</li><li>AI Won’t Replace Humans—But Humans Who Use AI Will Replace Those Who Don’t: The real risk isn’t AI taking your job—it’s your competitor using AI better than you and outpacing your entire operation.</li><li>Agents Are the Next Frontier: Current tools still need your input, but AI agents—autonomous task-doers with goals instead of prompts—are coming. These could revolutionize business ops by handling repetitive, logic-based tasks with little oversight.</li><li>AI Is a Skill Multiplier: A mediocre copywriter becomes competent with AI. A great copywriter becomes world-class.

At 55, with a Gandalf-like beard and 20 years in digital marketing, he’s positioned himself as the “voice of reason” in a landscape full of overhype and under-delivery. His company, White Beard Strategies, teaches business owners how to use AI without losing their minds—or their margins. Mast’s approach blends deep industry experience with a no-nonsense communication style. He’s not selling pipe dreams; he’s offering a toolkit.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this refreshingly candid episode of the How2Exit Podcast, Ron Skelton flips the usual script. Instead of diving into how to buy or sell companies, he sits down with Jonathan Mast—founder of White Beard Strategies and self-declared AI pragmatist—to tackle a more pressing question: Now that you've bought a business, how do you scale it with AI? With a long white beard and a sharper edge on reality than most AI evangelists or fearmongers, Mast offers a grounded, practical view of how artificial intelligence is changing the game for business owners. From cutting costs without cutting quality, to using AI as a "force multiplier" for human creativity, the conversation strips away the hype and lays down a roadmap that business buyers and owners can actually use.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ol><li>AI is an “Easier Button,” Not an Easy Button: Mast cautions that AI won’t magically solve all your problems—but it will streamline, accelerate, and amplify your existing business processes if used right.</li><li>Prompt Engineering is Just Delegation 2.0: The most effective prompts treat AI like a new hire—tell it what role it’s playing, what task you need, what the output should look like, and give it context. Then ask, “Do you have any questions?”</li><li>AI Won’t Replace Humans—But Humans Who Use AI Will Replace Those Who Don’t: The real risk isn’t AI taking your job—it’s your competitor using AI better than you and outpacing your entire operation.</li><li>Agents Are the Next Frontier: Current tools still need your input, but AI agents—autonomous task-doers with goals instead of prompts—are coming. These could revolutionize business ops by handling repetitive, logic-based tasks with little oversight.</li><li>AI Is a Skill Multiplier: A mediocre copywriter becomes competent with AI. A great copywriter becomes world-class. AI doesn’t level the playing field—it widens the gap between skilled and unskilled.</li><li>Bias Is Inevitable—Just Like in Humans: Every AI model reflects the biases of its creators. That doesn’t invalidate its usefulness, but it does mean you need to be vigilant about aligning its output with your brand’s tone and truth.</li><li>Business Intelligence on Steroids: Jonathan envisions a near future where agents will analyze data from every platform—Google Analytics, YouTube, LinkedIn—and proactively suggest growth strategies without human prompting.</li><li>Start Small, Start Now: You don’t need to be an engineer or visionary to benefit. Begin with basic tasks like drafting emails, summarizing reports, or analyzing transactions—and build from there.</li></ol><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Jonathan on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanjmast/<br />Website: http://whitebeardstrategies.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3583</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>ai-in-business,chatgpt,how-to-use-chatgpt,m&amp;a-podcasts,mergers-and-acquisitions</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/42f3f935f00903e25e8ce6bc780e5694.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>E274: The Secret Weapon for Scaling &amp; Selling Your Business—Most Founders Overlook This!</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/e274-the-secret-weapon-for-scaling-selling-your-business-most-founders-overlook-this--65135778</link><description><![CDATA[<b>Watch here: </b>https://youtu.be/L90nZyyR1qs<br /><b></b><br /><b>About the Guest: </b><br />Ashish Gupta is the founder of Scale Up Exec, a firm specializing in fractional COO services for growing businesses. With a background in tech startups, corporate leadership at Apple, and turnaround management in the e-commerce space, Gupta has a proven track record of scaling companies and preparing them for exits. His approach blends operational efficiency, strategic growth, and leadership coaching to help founders achieve their business goals.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this episode of the How2Exit Podcast, host Ronald Skelton sits down with Ashish Gupta, founder of Scale Up Exec, a fractional COO firm that helps small and mid-sized businesses scale, streamline operations, and prepare for exits. Gupta’s experience spans from founding a wireless startup acquired by Qualcomm to managing billion-dollar budgets at Apple, to turning around distressed e-commerce businesses and advising companies on high-impact growth strategies. The conversation dives deep into the role of a COO, how founders can recognize when they need operational support, and what it takes to transition from a hands-on entrepreneur to an owner ready for an exit.<br /><br />This episode is a must-listen for business owners struggling with growth plateaus, operational inefficiencies, or founder burnout. Gupta provides an eye-opening perspective on how businesses should think about leadership transitions, succession planning, and the strategic use of fractional executives to achieve scalable success.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ol><li>The Invisible COO Role in Small Businesses – Even if a company doesn’t have a formal COO, someone is always filling the operational leadership role, whether it’s the founder or an informal manager.</li><li>Why Founders Get Stuck – Most entrepreneurs are either visionaries or execution-focused, but rarely both. Without a strong operations leader, founders can get caught in a cycle of inefficiency, distraction, and burnout.</li><li>Recognizing Exit Readiness – Not all business exits are the same. Some founders just want to step back from day-to-day operations, while others need a full buyout. Knowing the difference is crucial for structuring the right transition.</li><li>Strategic vs. Financial Buyers – A company’s value depends on who the buyer is. Strategic buyers may care more about market share or IP, while private equity and individual buyers are EBITDA-focused. The key is optimizing the right metrics.</li><li>Boredom is a Business Killer – Many founders unconsciously sabotage their businesses because they get bored after a few years. This often leads to side projects, disengagement, or operational neglect.</li><li>Fractional COOs as a Scalable Solution – Many companies under $10 million in revenue can’t justify a full-time COO, but a fractional executive can provide high-level leadership and operational improvements without the full-time cost.</li><li>The Power of Small Changes – Business turnarounds don’t always require sweeping changes. Gupta advocates for a step-by-step approach to transition founders out of operations, proving that small wins build trust and momentum.</li><li>AI’s Emerging Role in Operations – While AI is improving efficiency in operational management, it still lacks the human touch necessary to navigate company culture, team motivation, and complex decision-making.</li></ol><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Ashish on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashish-gup/<br />Website: https://scaleupexec.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬...?<br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />👍 Like the video (it helps a ton!)<br />💬 Comment below to share your opinion!<br />🔗 Share the video with anyone you think might help :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />📱Stay Tuned On Our Social Media :<br />» Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/<br />» Twitter - https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton<br />» Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit<br />» Newsletter - http://deeper.how2exit.com/<br /><br />🎬SUGGESTED VIDEOS<br />Don't forget to watch 📽 Our other videos.

A former business owner himself, he learned the hard way that not every business is sellable. After a wake-up call from brokers who told him his company wasn’t worth buying, he spent years transforming it into a sellable asset. Today, he coaches owners on how to create businesses that are both profitable and sellable, whether they want to exit or simply work less.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />Most small business owners believe they’ll sell their business whenever they’re ready. The harsh reality? Most businesses don’t sell. In this eye-opening episode, Mike Finger, founder of Exit Oasis, sits down with Ron Skelton to expose the myths around small business exits. With personal experience transitioning from burned-out owner to successful seller, Mike breaks down the three fundamental questions every owner must answer to create a sellable business. This conversation is a wake-up call for entrepreneurs who assume their business is ready for sale—when in reality, it may not be sellable at all.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ol><li>Most businesses never sell – The industry loves success stories, but the real numbers show that most owners fail to transition their businesses.</li><li>Sellability starts long before you decide to sell – Owners should focus on making their businesses ownable first.

If it’s not on your tax return, it doesn’t exist to a buyer.</li><li>Cash-heavy businesses raise red flags – Many owners say, “a lot of cash walks in the door.” Buyers hear: “I don’t report my real income.” If you want top dollar, run a clean operation.</li><li>You can’t replace decades of knowledge overnight – Many buyers overestimate their ability to replace an owner who has spent years mastering their business.

Experience matters.</li><li>Start preparing now, not when you’re burned out – Most owners wait too long to think about an exit, and by the time they’re desperate to sell, they’ve already devalued their business.</li></ol><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Mike on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-finger/<br />Website: https://exitoasis.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬...?<br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />👍 Like the video (it helps a ton!)<br />💬 Comment below to share your opinion!<br />🔗 Share the video with anyone you think might help :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />📱Stay Tuned On Our Social Media :<br />» Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/<br />» Twitter - https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton<br />» Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit<br />» Newsletter - http://deeper.how2exit.com/<br /><br />🎬SUGGESTED VIDEOS<br />Don't forget to watch 📽 Our other...]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3472</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>acquisition-strategy,business-loans,business-sellability,exit-planning,exit-strategies,mergers-and-acquisitions,perpare-to-sell-your-business,selling-small-businesses</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/14b02a5f44c15cf93529f8889bf0f4d9.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>E272: How to Buy a Business with Almost No Money: SBA Loan Strategies &amp; Franchise Goldmines</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/e272-how-to-buy-a-business-with-almost-no-money-sba-loan-strategies-franchise-goldmines--64809444</link><description><![CDATA[<b>Watch Here:</b> https://youtu.be/nvOnJ02n8KA<br /><br /><b>About the Guest:</b> <br />Beau Eckstein is a business coach and expert in SBA lending, business acquisitions, and franchising.

Before launching GreenPal, Clayton built and sold a successful landscaping business with over 150 employees. He’s an advocate for using technology to modernize service-based businesses and believes AI will dramatically reshape industries in the coming years.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this episode of How2Exit, host Ronald Skelton sits down with Bryan Clayton, CEO and co-founder of GreenPal, a platform often dubbed the "Uber for lawn care." Clayton shares his entrepreneurial journey, from a childhood forced into mowing lawns by his military father to scaling and selling a multimillion-dollar landscaping company. He discusses the challenges of selling a business, the emotional void that follows an exit, and how he transitioned into the tech space to launch GreenPal.

Before launching GreenPal, Clayton built and sold a successful landscaping business with over 150 employees. He’s an advocate for using technology to modernize service-based businesses and believes AI will dramatically reshape industries in the coming years.<br /><br /><b>Summary: </b><br />In this episode of How2Exit, host Ronald Skelton sits down with Bryan Clayton, CEO and co-founder of GreenPal, a platform often dubbed the "Uber for lawn care." Clayton shares his entrepreneurial journey, from a childhood forced into mowing lawns by his military father to scaling and selling a multimillion-dollar landscaping company. He discusses the challenges of selling a business, the emotional void that follows an exit, and how he transitioned into the tech space to launch GreenPal. The conversation dives deep into automation, AI’s impact on business, and how small service-based companies can leverage technology to scale efficiently.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways: </b><br />Forced Entrepreneurship Sparks Innovation: Clayton’s first business began out of necessity when his father made him mow lawns as a teenager.

With a background in marketing and communication, she helps business owners clarify their message to scale and exit successfully.

A business should always be sale-ready.<br /><br /><i><b>Puerto Rico as a Business Hub</b></i> – The island offers tax incentives for companies that export services, making it an attractive option for entrepreneurs, including those in tech and finance.<br /><br /><i><b>Fractional CFOs Drive Growth</b></i> – Businesses earning between $1M-$10M benefit significantly from hiring a fractional CFO to manage cash flow, forecasting, and growth strategy.<br /><br /><i><b>Common Valuation Mistakes </b></i>– Owners often base their valuation on industry hearsay or personal financial needs rather than market data and financial fundamentals.<br /><br /><i><b>Owner Dependency Kills Business Value</b></i> – A company reliant on its owner for operations, sales, and decision-making is much harder to sell and less attractive to buyers.<br /><br /><i><b>Financial Planning &amp; Process Documentation</b></i> – Having structured financial statements, KPI tracking, and documented workflows is critical for growth and eventual sale.<br /><br /><i><b>The Risks of Poor Succession Planning</b></i> – Businesses without a succession plan risk collapse when an owner unexpectedly leaves due to illness or other circumstances.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Alina on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/triveraa/<br />Website: https://advising.global/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />💰If you’d like additional ways to support this podcast, you can become a paid subscriber here: https://how2exit.substack.com/<br /><br />►Visit Our Website: https://www.how2exit.com/<br /><br />📧For Business Inquiries: Me@4sale2sold.com<br /><br />Don't Forget to SUBSCRIBE to the How2Exit channel and press (🔔) to join the Notification Squad and stay updated with new uploads.✨<br /><br />👇🏻SUBSCRIBE HERE<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ONnhwaKSTPFt2nOxKoXXQ?sub_confirmation=1<br /><br />𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬...?<br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />👍 Like the video (it helps a ton!)<br />💬 Comment below to share your opinion!<br />🔗 Share the video with anyone you think might help :) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />📱Stay Tuned On Our Social Media :<br />» Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/<br />» Twitter - https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton<br />» Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit<br />» Newsletter - http://deeper.how2exit.com/<br /><br />🎬SUGGESTED VIDEOS<br />Don't forget to watch 📽 Our other videos.

The conversation concludes with tips on choosing the right investment banker and the benefits of early engagement for a successful exit.<br /><br />Key Takeaways: *Preparation is Key: Businesses should have reviewed or audited financials and a quality of earnings report before going to market. *Customer Concentration: Having a diversified customer base protects the business's value and can attract more buyers. *Accurate Valuation: Understanding the true market value of a business is crucial; consult multiple investment bankers to get a clear picture. *Industry Cycles: Timing the market correctly and preparing for cyclical changes can significantly impact the success of a sale. *Engagement Timeline: Start conversations with investment bankers early, ideally when your EBITDA is around $1-2 million.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Michael on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-mufson-b0269/<br />Website:<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />How2Exit Joins IT ExchangeNet's Channel Partner Network!<br /><br />-Why IT ExchangeNet?<br />Since 1998, IT ExchangeNet has created $5 billion in value by selling more than 225 IT businesses in 20 countries.

With a strong finance background, Sam served as the Financial Director (FD) of a significantly large business owned by private equity, engaging in the integration of acquired competitors and managing the commercial function globally. After his corporate career, Sam transitioned to entrepreneurship, focusing on building a group of companies. He is currently the head of Advantos Group, where he specializes in buying and selling small businesses within the mechanical, electrical, and facilities management services sector.<br /><br /><b>Summary:</b> Host Ronald Skelton welcomes Sam Turner of the Advantos Group to discuss the intricacies of acquiring and selling small businesses in the UK. Sam shares his transition from a career in the travel industry to creating a conglomerate of small businesses that serve a niche market in the B2B space.<br /><br />Sam Turner's journey is compelling as he divulges the strategy behind choosing non-consumer-facing ventures within industries that display significant fragmentation and resilience to technological disruptions. Throughout the conversation, Sam emphasizes the philosophy of collaboration, avoiding business integration to preserve the uniqueness of each acquired company, and maintaining their operations and brand. This approach underscores the delicate balance between maximizing shareholder value and retaining the individual strengths of small businesses within the group. <br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ul><li>Collaboration vs. Integration: Sam Turner advocates for the approach of collaboration among acquired businesses, rather than full integration, to reduce risk and maintain the independence and specialties of each company.</li><li>Identifying Acquisitions: The Adventos Group seeks out small businesses with revenues between £4 million and £20 million, offering mechanical, electrical, and hard facilities management services with a minimum of 7% EBITDA margin.</li><li>Employee Engagement: Sam highlights the importance of understanding the direct impact employees have on the business. He mentions plans to create a 'growth fund,' offering staff skill development opportunities.</li><li>Profit Margins in Small vs. Large Enterprises: The conversation reveals an inverse relationship between the size of the business and profit margins within the industry, with smaller businesses often having better margins due to less competitive tendering.</li><li>Building the Employer of Choice: The ultimate goal for Adventos Group is to be the employer of choice, creating an environment where talent retention and acquisition are driven by multiple factors that surpass just the wage component.</li></ul><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Sam on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-turner-advantos/<br />Website: http://www.advantos.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />How2Exit Joins IT ExchangeNet's Channel Partner Network!<br /><br />Have an IT Company doing between $5M and $30M You may Sell?

He is currently the head of Advantos Group, where he specializes in buying and selling small businesses within the mechanical, electrical, and facilities management services sector.<br /><br /><b>Summary:</b> Host Ronald Skelton welcomes Sam Turner of the Advantos Group to discuss the intricacies of acquiring and selling small businesses in the UK. Sam shares his transition from a career in the travel industry to creating a conglomerate of small businesses that serve a niche market in the B2B space.<br /><br />Sam Turner's journey is compelling as he divulges the strategy behind choosing non-consumer-facing ventures within industries that display significant fragmentation and resilience to technological disruptions. Throughout the conversation, Sam emphasizes the philosophy of collaboration, avoiding business integration to preserve the uniqueness of each acquired company, and maintaining their operations and brand. This approach underscores the delicate balance between maximizing shareholder value and retaining the individual strengths of small businesses within the group. <br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><ul><li>Collaboration vs. Integration: Sam Turner advocates for the approach of collaboration among acquired businesses, rather than full integration, to reduce risk and maintain the independence and specialties of each company.</li><li>Identifying Acquisitions: The Adventos Group seeks out small businesses with revenues between £4 million and £20 million, offering mechanical, electrical, and hard facilities management services with a minimum of 7% EBITDA margin.</li><li>Employee Engagement: Sam highlights the importance of understanding the direct impact employees have on the business. He mentions plans to create a 'growth fund,' offering staff skill development opportunities.</li><li>Profit Margins in Small vs. Large Enterprises: The conversation reveals an inverse relationship between the size of the business and profit margins within the industry, with smaller businesses often having better margins due to less competitive tendering.</li><li>Building the Employer of Choice: The ultimate goal for Adventos Group is to be the employer of choice, creating an environment where talent retention and acquisition are driven by multiple factors that surpass just the wage component.</li></ul><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Sam on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-turner-advantos/<br />Website: http://www.advantos.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />How2Exit Joins IT ExchangeNet's Channel Partner Network!<br /><br />Have an IT Company doing between $5M and $30M You may Sell?

As an Air Force veteran, Ralph's technical and leadership skills were honed early, leading to a successful post-service career. After transitioning from the military, Ralph entered the franchise industry, starting with a Meineke franchise in 1985. Over a 23-year span, he grew his franchise ownership to 15 stores across two states, amassing significant wealth and business insight. His entrepreneurial journey didn't stop with Meineke; Ralph pivoted into executive roles, serving as Chief Operating Officer for various brands in automotive and fitness spaces.

His career began in a fund-of-funds sector where he managed investments across the Asia Pacific, offering him a diverse understanding of market cycles, politics, and economics. He later joined CSG Partners in the United States to be closer to business owners and offer them unique exit strategies that align with their objectives. At CSG, he specializes in ESOPs, working intimately with clients to quarterback ESOP transactions, including analysis, capital raise, negotiation, and closing across various industries.<br /><br /><b>Episode Summary: </b>In this engaging episode of the How2Exit podcast, host Ronald Skelton invites Michael Bannon to dive deep into the world of Employee Stock Ownership Programs (ESOPs). The conversation is not only a brilliant learning opportunity but also a shareable resource that sheds light on the intricacies of ESOPs.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Bannon draws from his extensive background in private equity and ESOPs to unravel the concept comprehensively. He explains the attractive tax advantages for selling shareholders, the benefits for employees as new shareholders, and the positive impact of ESOPs on the broader business community. From discussing pathways for funding an ESOP to demystifying the employee experience post-transition, Bannon offers valuable insights into how ESOPs can be an ideal exit strategy for business owners looking to preserve legacy and engage employees in ownership.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><br /><ul><li>ESOPs serve as a tax-advantaged exit strategy enabling employees to earn shares without direct cost, offering fair market value liquidity for business owners.</li><li>There's a dual benefit for the sellers and employees; sellers receive immediate or deferred compensation for their equity, while employees get a stake in the business as part of their retirement plan.</li><li>An ESOP can flexibly fund the purchase of shares through bank loans and seller financing, with significant tax savings effectively covering transaction costs.</li><li>ESOPs impact the community by keeping the business local, retaining jobs, and allowing profit to stay within the community rather than going to external investors.</li><li>Post-transaction, the company undergoes annual valuations, informing employees of their share value growth, fostering an ownership mindset that enhances productivity.</li></ul><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Michael on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-bannon-85b16159/<br />Website: https://www.csgpartners.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />How2Exit Joins IT ExchangeNet's Channel Partner Network!<br /><br />Have an IT Company doing between $5M and $30M You may Sell?<br /><br />The IT ExchangeNet M&amp;A Marketplace @Ronald Skelton - How2Exit Host has a proprietary database of 50,000+ global buyers seeking IT Services firms, MSPs, MSSPs, Software-as-a-Service platforms and channel partners in the Microsoft, Oracle, ServiceNow and Salesforce space.<br /><br />If you are interested in learning more about the process and current market valuations, complete the contact form and we’ll respond within one business day.

At CSG, he specializes in ESOPs, working intimately with clients to quarterback ESOP transactions, including analysis, capital raise, negotiation, and closing across various industries.<br /><br /><b>Episode Summary: </b>In this engaging episode of the How2Exit podcast, host Ronald Skelton invites Michael Bannon to dive deep into the world of Employee Stock Ownership Programs (ESOPs). The conversation is not only a brilliant learning opportunity but also a shareable resource that sheds light on the intricacies of ESOPs.<br /><br />Throughout the episode, Bannon draws from his extensive background in private equity and ESOPs to unravel the concept comprehensively. He explains the attractive tax advantages for selling shareholders, the benefits for employees as new shareholders, and the positive impact of ESOPs on the broader business community. From discussing pathways for funding an ESOP to demystifying the employee experience post-transition, Bannon offers valuable insights into how ESOPs can be an ideal exit strategy for business owners looking to preserve legacy and engage employees in ownership.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><br /><ul><li>ESOPs serve as a tax-advantaged exit strategy enabling employees to earn shares without direct cost, offering fair market value liquidity for business owners.</li><li>There's a dual benefit for the sellers and employees; sellers receive immediate or deferred compensation for their equity, while employees get a stake in the business as part of their retirement plan.</li><li>An ESOP can flexibly fund the purchase of shares through bank loans and seller financing, with significant tax savings effectively covering transaction costs.</li><li>ESOPs impact the community by keeping the business local, retaining jobs, and allowing profit to stay within the community rather than going to external investors.</li><li>Post-transaction, the company undergoes annual valuations, informing employees of their share value growth, fostering an ownership mindset that enhances productivity.</li></ul><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Michael on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-bannon-85b16159/<br />Website: https://www.csgpartners.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />How2Exit Joins IT ExchangeNet's Channel Partner Network!<br /><br />Have an IT Company doing between $5M and $30M You may Sell?<br /><br />The IT ExchangeNet M&amp;A Marketplace @Ronald Skelton - How2Exit Host has a proprietary database of 50,000+ global buyers seeking IT Services firms, MSPs, MSSPs, Software-as-a-Service platforms and channel partners in the Microsoft, Oracle, ServiceNow and Salesforce space.<br /><br />If you are interested in learning more about the process and current market valuations, complete the contact form and we’ll respond within one business day.

He is passionate about helping entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of equity distribution and has become a leading expert in the field. You can find more information about Mike Moyer on his website.<br /><br /><b>Summary:</b> In this episode, Ronald Skelton interviews Mike Moyer, the author of "Slicing Pie," a groundbreaking book that offers a fair and logical approach to equity splits in startups. Mike shares his origin story as an entrepreneur and explains how his personal experiences with unfair equity splits led him to develop the Slicing Pie model.

He explains the importance of discipline and a deep understanding of the software industry in successfully integrating and operating acquired businesses.<br /><br />Key topics covered in this episode include the criteria for acquiring businesses, the role of due diligence, and the company's approach to global expansion. Costa also discusses how Valsoft's preference for privately-held, founder-operated businesses has contributed to their stunning growth rate and has positioned them as a notable serial acquirer in the software space.<br /><br /><b>Key Takeaways:</b><br /><ul><li>Valsoft's acquisition success is attributed to their focus on founder-operated businesses with high recurring revenue and strong customer retention.</li><li>Integration post-acquisition is key, with a structured approach that focuses on employee and customer communication, process improvements, and long-term growth strategies.</li><li>Valsoft maintains the decentralization of acquired businesses, valuing the brand loyalty and independence that contribute to their success.</li><li>Transparency between sellers and Valsoft is crucial, from discussing post-sale intentions to involving key staff in the acquisition process.</li><li>As a company that plans to hold businesses for decades, Valsoft provides flexibility and incentivization for sellers, ensuring that acquisitions result in mutually beneficial partnerships.</li></ul><b>Watch it on Youtube:</b> https://youtu.be/XgfMOjVNKeI<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------- <br />Contact Costa on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/costatagalakis/<br />Website: http://www.valsoftcorp.com/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br /><br />If you are interested in learning more about the process and current market valuations, complete the contact form and we’ll respond within one business day.

Business owners should stay informed about these factors and be prepared for potential changes in the market.</li><li>Buyers in the mid-market space are becoming more cautious and are looking for stable businesses with a strong competitive advantage. They are focused on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of a company's performance and its potential for growth.</li><li>Sellers should start the exit planning process early and work with experienced advisors to maximize the value of their companies. It is important to understand the buyer's perspective and present the business in the best possible light.</li><li>Building a valuation edge and saturation-proofing the business are key strategies for attracting buyers and maximizing value. Sellers should differentiate themselves from the competition and ensure their business is well-positioned for growth.</li><li>Sellers should be cautious when making changes to the business before selling. Buyers prefer stability and may be hesitant to acquire a company that has undergone significant changes. It is important to maintain a positive rapport with employees and listen to their feedback during the transition.</li></ul><b>Notable Quotes:</b><ul><li>"Good companies in any market will sell. When you're building a company, you want to very early in the process start to sell because you're going to transition at some point and at some stage." - Steve Conwell</li><li>"Buyers like to buy businesses that are thriving, not surviving. You want to present yourself in the best light possible so that they go, 'Yes, I want to pick you.'" - Steve Conwell</li></ul><b>Watch it on Youtube:</b> https://youtu.be/-D1QP_y6O2s<br /><br /><br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Steve on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveconwell/<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />How2Exit Joins IT ExchangeNet's Channel Partner Network!<br /><br />-Why IT ExchangeNet?<br />Since 1998, IT ExchangeNet has created $5 billion in value by selling more than 225 IT businesses in 20 countries.

The book focuses on how to sell a business. Mark has sold companies as a CEO, invested in over a hundred businesses, and been on dozens of boards. He also shared why some transactions fail, what makes a good client, and more. He wanted to provide real stories and advice to help entrepreneurs navigate the process and make better decisions.<br /><br />An early employee of Apple and Head of Innovation at Redbox, Mark Achler has been creating and investing in tech startups since 1986. Today, he is a founding partner of MATH Venture Partners, a technology venture capital fund, and an adjunct professor at the Northwestern Kellogg School of Management. Mert Iseri co-founded SwipeSense, a healthcare technology company acquired by SC Johnson in 2020. He also co-founded Design for America—using design thinking for social impact—which won the National Design Award in 2018.

Mark has sold companies as a CEO, invested in over a hundred businesses, and been on dozens of boards. He also shared why some transactions fail, what makes a good client, and more. He wanted to provide real stories and advice to help entrepreneurs navigate the process and make better decisions.<br /><br />An early employee of Apple and Head of Innovation at Redbox, Mark Achler has been creating and investing in tech startups since 1986. Today, he is a founding partner of MATH Venture Partners, a technology venture capital fund, and an adjunct professor at the Northwestern Kellogg School of Management. Mert Iseri co-founded SwipeSense, a healthcare technology company acquired by SC Johnson in 2020.

He has the unique experience of having seen M&A from a different vantage point - as an investor, and operating partner, a CEO, and now an advisor to private equity firms and their companies. <br /><br />In 2020, Dan founded Accelera Partners to help middle-market PE investors and their companies to accelerate what he calls "people-powered performance." As an advisor, he helps PE-backed companies get aligned on where they're going, and makes sure they have the right team and culture to help them get there. <br /><br />In July, Dan launched his second book - called Winning Moves: 105 Proven Ways to Create Value in Private Equity-Backed Companies. He writes and speaks regularly on the topic of value creation and human capital in private equity-backed companies.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Dan on<br />Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dancremons/" rel="noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/dancremons/</a><br />Website: <a href="http://accelerapartners.co/" rel="noopener">http://accelerapartners.co/</a><br />Book - Winning Moves: 105 Proven Ways to Create Value in Private Equity-Backed Companies: <a href="https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B0B7SH9X14&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_6APPCPJHR1KRWVXK72PA&tag=how2exit07-20" rel="noopener">https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B0B7SH9X14&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_6APPCPJHR1KRWVXK72PA&tag=how2exit07-20</a><br /><br />As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Lowell’s been a Co-founder/CEO/Chairman, COO of a $120M public company, Startup CRO and Global VP Rockwell. He’s a Global Mentor, Investor, Board member and CEO coach.<br /><br />His current business Traction Advising was started out of his frustration when he was in a buyer’s position. The investment banker model uses accounting/finance people trying to sell. “No one hires accountants to sell products so why hire them to sell a company?” Selling/Marketing a small SaaS company is more like selling a technology product than selling a financial instrument.<br /><br />With company buying/selling experience of more than 30 organisations, he knows what internal stakeholders need to approve a transaction. As a founder/CEO he knows what it’s like to start up a company, build a product, hire employees, raise money, find customers, keep them happy and make payroll.

Lowell’s been a Co-founder/CEO/Chairman, COO of a $120M public company, Startup CRO and Global VP Rockwell. He’s a Global Mentor, Investor, Board member and CEO coach.<br /><br />His current business Traction Advising was started out of his frustration when he was in a buyer’s position. The investment banker model uses accounting/finance people trying to sell. “No one hires accountants to sell products so why hire them to sell a company?” Selling/Marketing a small SaaS company is more like selling a technology product than selling a financial instrument.<br /><br />With company buying/selling experience of more than 30 organisations, he knows what internal stakeholders need to approve a transaction. As a founder/CEO he knows what it’s like to start up a company, build a product, hire employees, raise money, find customers, keep them happy and make payroll. He leverages this experience to craft acquisitions that get the best outcome for the founders/investors structured to maximize success.<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Lowell on<br />Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lowellricklefs/" rel="noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/lowellricklefs/</a><br />Website: <a href="http://www.tractionadvising.com/" rel="noopener">http://www.tractionadvising.com/</a><br /><br />—— Contact info and fun Stuff — <br /><br />Reach me to sell me your business, be on my podcast or just share some love:<br />Podcast website: <a href="https://www.How2Exit.com" rel="noopener">https://www.How2Exit.com</a><br />Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/" rel="noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/</a><br />Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/ronaldskelton</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/How2Exit</a><br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/how2exitpodcast/" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/how2exitpodcast/</a><br /><br />Have suggestions, comments, or want to tell us about a business for sale call our hotline and leave a message:  918-641-4150<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />How2Exit Joins ITX's Channel Partner Network to help Tech companies valued from $5M - $30M<br /><br />-Why ITX?<br />Since 1998, ITX has created $5 billion in value by selling more than 225 IT businesses in 20 countries.

How? Well, his magic ingredient isn’t actually magic at all, The Smart Blueprint is a 5-step surefire process for business owners — many of whom came to Lyons during the rough times of 2020, (like the Dungeons and Dragons Hobby Shop in Bastrop, Texas, which grew by 36,000% in the middle of the pandemic!)<br /><br />Beyond his own portfolio of growing companies, Lyons is an advisor for over 500 brands across the US and Canada. Lyons has been featured on the Today Show, The Steve Harvey Show, Forbes, and the NY Post. He has been awarded 2 different ‘Wicked Smaht’ Awards due to his innovative business strategies and multiple 2 comma club awards.

How? Well, his magic ingredient isn’t actually magic at all, The Smart Blueprint is a 5-step surefire process for business owners — many of whom came to Lyons during the rough times of 2020, (like the Dungeons and Dragons Hobby Shop in Bastrop, Texas, which grew by 36,000% in the middle of the pandemic!)<br /><br />Beyond his own portfolio of growing companies, Lyons is an advisor for over 500 brands across the US and Canada. Lyons has been featured on the Today Show, The Steve Harvey Show, Forbes, and the NY Post. He has been awarded 2 different ‘Wicked Smaht’ Awards due to his innovative business strategies and multiple 2 comma club awards. Companies he has worked with include PepsiCo, Nike, Nescafé, Discovery Digital Networks, and many smaller brands. <br /><br />Lyons created and developed his outside-the-box business system out of poverty and frustration. As an English immigrant, he started as a janitor– quickly becoming an accidental serial entrepreneur.

Steve acquired the business from its original founders in 2014, and successfully sold the company to a strategic acquirer in 2020 after having served as its CEO for approximately seven years. During Steve’s tenure as CEO, Microdea’s equity value quadrupled, providing his investors with a 20% compounded annual return on their original investment. In his first 5 years as CEO, Steve doubled company revenue, achieving a ~15% compound annual growth rate, leading to Microdea being named as one of Canada’s fastest growing businesses for four consecutive years between 2014 – 2017. Since that point, he led the company’s transformation towards a subscription revenue model, growing revenue from recurring sources from ~40% of total revenue in 2014 to ~80% in 2020. He helped grow the company’s customer base to include 80% of Canada’s largest trucking companies, and one third of North America’s largest logistics companies. Under his leadership Microdea was ranked as one of Canada’s best places to work for 4 consecutive years between 2017 – 2020, when the company was named as the 46th best place to work in Canada for all companies with fewer than 100 employees.

In 2020 Daniel purchased Windura, a premium window and door replacement company in the Kansas City area.<br /><br />Daniel Lee is an acquisition entrepreneur who purchased Windura, a premium window and door replacement company in the Kansas City area, in 2020. In this episode of the How to Exit Podcast, Ronald Skelton interviews Daniel about his journey from corporate America to becoming an entrepreneur. Daniel reveals he had spent 12 years working his way up an insurance company's operational side, but he had a desire for something more. He applied for a regional sales manager job and the VP gave him the chance to jump from the claim side to the sales side, which is uncommon. Daniel then decided to pursue entrepreneurship and the opportunity to purchase Windura. Daniel's story serves as an inspiring example of taking risks and following passions.<br /><br />Watch it on Youtube: https://youtu.be/lG4t5ABLHzg<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Daniel on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dglee1/<br />Website: www.windura.com<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />How2Exit Joins ITX's Channel Partner Network!<br /><br />-Why ITX?<br />Since 1998, ITX has created $5 billion in value by selling more than 225 IT businesses in 20 countries.

In 2020 Daniel purchased Windura, a premium window and door replacement company in the Kansas City area.<br /><br />Daniel Lee is an acquisition entrepreneur who purchased Windura, a premium window and door replacement company in the Kansas City area, in 2020. In this episode of the How to Exit Podcast, Ronald Skelton interviews Daniel about his journey from corporate America to becoming an entrepreneur. Daniel reveals he had spent 12 years working his way up an insurance company's operational side, but he had a desire for something more. He applied for a regional sales manager job and the VP gave him the chance to jump from the claim side to the sales side, which is uncommon. Daniel then decided to pursue entrepreneurship and the opportunity to purchase Windura. Daniel's story serves as an inspiring example of taking risks and following passions.<br /><br />Watch it on Youtube: https://youtu.be/lG4t5ABLHzg<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />Contact Daniel on<br />Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dglee1/<br />Website: www.windura.com<br />--------------------------------------------------<br />How2Exit Joins ITX's Channel Partner Network!<br /><br />-Why ITX?<br />Since 1998, ITX has created $5 billion in value by selling more than 225 IT businesses in 20 countries.
