Every week, we break down businesses for sale and talk about buying, operating, and growing them.

In this episode, hosts start off with, what else, soccer snark, discussing Chelsea's Trump drama, then a little Tour de France trash-talk. Chad roasts Monster Europe's collapse, blasting Randstad and Apollo as "corporate cowards" ditching workers like bad dates. They dissect HelloWork's lawsuit against Indeed for yanking ATS feeds—Chad calls it a data domination plot, Joel bets on French PR patriotism trumping legal odds. "Buy or Sell" gets savage: MetaView's €30M note-taker? Chad and Lieven sell (no moat, just meh), Joel buys for human touch. Traxlo's €1.6M gig app? Joel and Lieven buy for retail grunt work, Chad sells (automation apocalypse incoming). Ordio's €12M deskless payroll? Joel and Lieven buy, Chad sells (pricing poultry—er, paltry). EQT X snags Adevinta's Spanish ops, InfoJobs included? PE panic—Chad and Joel scream "abandon ship!" And Paris-based Teleperformance gobbles up Agents Only, a Vancouver-based staffing company specializing in online workers for AI data annotation and customer service, which is a fancy way of saying "workers who check expiration dates on milk."

El nou contracte de neteja que es preveu portar a ple per aprovació entre setembre i octubre assegura que ha de garantir un Sitges més net, de fet el pressupost s'augmenta considerablement i passarà dels 7milions d 'euros de l'actual als 12M€. Més enllà de la neteja l'alcaldessa espera que en aquests dos anys que queden de mandat es pugui fer efectiu la construcció del nou CAP per part de la Generalitat, la nova estació d'autobusos i confia que abans de dos anys s'obrin les llistes d'accés a algun dels HPO previstos. El que segur sí veurà l'alcaldessa i la resta de Sitges és la nova escola municipal de música de la qual ja han començat les obres al costat de l'espai jove. Aurora Carbonell confia també que finalment no es tiri endavant la sentència que obliga a l'enderroc del Club de Mar i que costes cedeixi la cessió al municipi. Mentrestant res d'això passa Sitges viu, de moment, un estiu amb sorra a les platges però amb els deures de trobar de quina manera preveure possibles noves afectacions de manca de sorra que podrien passar per una opció de dunes, en aquest àmbit Aurora Carbonell ha anunciat també que el 2025 les platges de Sitges, com les de la resta de la província de Barcelona, passaran a ser lliures de fum. Pel que fa a la relació amb l'oposició lamenta la tensió dels darrers mesos i assegura que no acaba d'entendre quin suport va retirar Guanyem al govern. L'entrada Aurora Carbonell vol acabar mandat amb Sitges més net, nou CAP, nova escola de música, nova estació d’autobusos, els nous HPO en construcció i el Club de Mar, sencer però amb cessió municipal ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

一、思想問題：我對神的認識是不斷進步，還是原地踏步，或甚至大大退步呢？ 二、鑰節： 41:18 牆上雕刻基路伯和棕樹。每二基路伯中間有一棵棕樹，每基路伯有二臉。 聖殿中雕刻的基路伯提醒我們「神就在這裡」，並且要謹慎戰兢地來事奉祂；棕樹提醒我們「神是生命的源頭」，要倚靠神得生命。 我們如何建造、幫助教會，讓人一進入教會就預備好心來敬拜神？我們如何預備我們的家、房間、辦公室，讓我們在生活中可以隨時來敬拜神？ 三、經文結構：A40-42章 量度聖殿：聖殿本身的架構及設備。 41:1-4 內殿尺寸。 41:5-12 旁屋。 41:13-15 整體聖殿尺寸。 41:16-22 聖殿內部。 41:23-26 至聖所的門。 四、結構亮光： Q：在介紹聖殿時特別提到了殿門，這要提醒我們什麼呢？ A： 使者領先知進入聖殿，聖殿是長形的，以三道門隔成三個部分： 入口處的門廊 殿門尺寸：14肘=7.3M 說明：40:48 外殿 殿門尺寸：10肘=5.2M 說明：41:2只有祭司能進入 內殿（至聖所） 殿門尺寸：6肘=3.12M 說明：41:3只有大祭司能進入 其代表意義是： 1.逐漸收窄的殿門，表示越來越神聖，神不斷要求敬拜者的生命要聖潔，要存敬畏、渴慕的心； 2.每進一道門，就再次提醒敬拜者應有的責任與委身。 環繞著聖殿外的南、西、北部設有三層的房屋（王上6:5-10），每層合計30間（v.6），可能作安放聖殿器皿的儲物室（王上7:51），或作收集奉獻的庫房（代下31:11；尼10:37；瑪3:10）。 每一層旁屋的面積不同，越上越寬（v.7），只能由南及北面進入（v.11）。環繞聖殿外的這些旁屋有高6肘的月臺（v.8），月臺以外有空地一直延伸到祭司的聖屋（v.10對面的房屋），聖殿的後面朝西有一間房子，可能也是儲物室（v.12）。 v.13-15整體聖殿的長寬各是是50公尺，非常方正，代表均衡、和諧與神聖！ v.18雕刻的意義：「基路伯」是神的使者，牆上雕刻著基路伯，是隨時提醒百姓要敬拜神，而且和大能的天使相比，百姓的生命是如此卑微與渺小； 「棕樹」代表生命樹，代表神賜下生命。 如同起初所羅門在建造聖殿時的雕刻一般，代表神回到神的殿。 王上6:29 內殿、外殿周圍的牆上都刻著基路伯、棕樹，和初開的花。 v.19人臉、獅子臉面向棕樹，對比四活物有四個臉，而基路伯則有兩個臉，分別是人臉與獅臉，可能一方面代表人面向神來服事神，二方面則是代表神面向人施行公義的審判。 結1:10 至於臉的形像：前面各有人的臉，右面各有獅子的臉，左面各有牛的臉，後面各有鷹的臉。 v.22木桌的用途，不是如同40:42的石桌擺放祭牲用，這個桌應當是放陳設餅的桌子，要在神面前以為記念。 利24:6 要把餅擺列兩行（或譯：摞；下同），每行六個，在耶和華面前精金的桌子上； 五、反省問題： 我對神的認識、事奉與愛慕，是否與日俱增？ 當我來到教會，是否常常被提醒要警醒、戰兢、感恩地敬拜？教會的陳設如何彰顯神的同在？ －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 講員： 貴格會合一堂 徐坤靖牧師 聖經之鑰-各卷書播放清單： https://thfc.pse.is/3epsdf 【聖經之鑰 相關資源】YouTube： https://thfc.pse.is/3cfams電子書： https://thfc.pse.is/3ccluu Powered by Firstory Hosting

My conversation with snack industry LEGEND Josh Schroeter, the Founder and CEO of South 40 Snacks. South 40 Snacks is a Seattle-based snack startup selling fruit and nut bars. I've been invested in the company for almost 4 years now and have watched them grow from $1.5M in sales to ~$12M this year.

There's a reason we don't say “yes” to every franchise opportunity—and in this episode, we break down why. Jeff Herr joins Erik to reveal what actually makes a franchise brand scalable, investable, and valuable long-term.   We're talking proprietary IP, raving customers, founder mindset, team culture, recurring revenue, and why the first rule of franchising is: don't franchise. From a $12M single-unit operator to a high-margin dirty job brand no one's heard of… this is the inside playbook.

He also reveals the painful impact of relationships, imposter syndrome, and anxiety — and how he's finding clarity through it all.Plus, you'll hear two powerful comeback stories from history — the collapse and rebirth of Henry Heinz's empire and the unexpected resurrection of Polaroid.Want to know how Chad built a $4M company and coached others to $12M?

Today, I had the pleasure of co-hosting a special livestream on Substack with Jen Risley, the editor of the Main Street Journal. We're calling it “Jen and Devin Live,” and we hope it marks the beginning of a recurring series to strengthen the ties in our shared community of impact crowdfunding enthusiasts.Jen and I both publish on Substack and share a mission to promote community capital. While we could be viewed as competitors, we see ourselves more as complementary partners. That's why we came together—to cross-promote, build bridges, and amplify the voices in this growing movement.What's New at the Main Street JournalJen highlighted a recent MSJ Extra feature: an in-depth interview with John Abrams, author of the forthcoming book From Founder to Future. John transitioned his company—South Mountain Company, a design, building, and solar firm on Martha's Vineyard—into a worker cooperative. Now retired, he's focused on helping other founders do the same. Jen shared that the response to this piece was overwhelmingly positive, confirming that interest in worker ownership models is growing fast.Updates from Superpowers for GoodOn my end, I shared some exciting updates about Superpowers for Good. Our recent SuperCrowdLA event, which was livestreamed to e360tv and Substack, drove tremendous traffic. But what's been even more rewarding is the success of our new initiative, Super Crowd Voices (read it here, submit your contribution for consideration here). This channel invites new writers to share their perspectives, and it's working better than we imagined. In fact, one of the first posts—by Dorian Dickinson of Funding Hope—became our most-read post ever. His powerful argument for giving investment crowdfunding “a seat at the table” clearly struck a chord.It was particularly rewarding to learn from Jen that our feature on Dorian inspired Main Street Journal to expand their platform listings in their weekly offering summaries. They had initially focused on just a few platforms—but now, they include more, making their coverage even stronger. That kind of cross-pollination is exactly what this collaboration is all about.Shared Admiration for Kathleen MinogueWe also talked about our mutual admiration for Kathleen Minogue and her “Crowdfund Better” methodology. Jen and I both hold her in high regard. Michael Shuman's interview with Kathleen in MSJ Extra—which I was able to read as a paying subscriber—was one of the best practical pieces I've seen. She explains how a rewards-based campaign can serve as a stepping stone to a successful investment crowdfunding raise. Kathleen's approach is a masterclass in how to crowdfund strategically, and Jen shared how Kathleen supported a local crowdfunding initiative in her home region of New Hampshire. It's amazing to see this kind of thought leadership making a real-world impact.Reflections on SuperCrowdLA and a Preview of SuperCrowd25Jen kindly mentioned how much she appreciated the summary I wrote following SuperCrowdLA. She quoted a line I often use: “Capital is not just about dollars. It's about power, purpose, and possibility.” That meant a lot. I shared that we're working on a full book based on the conference's transcripts and insights—something far deeper than a quick summary. We hope to release it by the end of June.I also highlighted some standout speakers from the event:* Doug Willmore, CEO of World Tree, which has raised $17M (including $12M from the crowd) to fund a carbon-sequestering tree farm model.* Sarah Hardwick, former CMO of Aptera, who helped the company raise $140M through Reg CF and Reg A offerings. Her speech was both riveting and deeply insightful.Looking ahead, SuperCrowd25 is coming up on August 21–22, and we're streaming it live again on E360tv. I'm thrilled by how many people discover crowdfunding for the first time through these events. I invited Jen—and Michael Schuman as well—to join us as speakers. Their voices are essential to this community.Closing: Stronger TogetherI closed by encouraging our community to subscribe to Main Street Journal—especially since some of their best content, like the Kathleen Minogue piece, is behind a paywall. It's worth every penny. Jen added that their Monday events roundup is always free, giving folks a way to sample the value before committing. You can subscribe at mainstreetjournal.substack.com or visit their website at mainstreetjournal.org.Jen returned the love, reminding her community to subscribe to Superpowers for Good and promising to keep highlighting our latest work.We both agree: if you're serious about crowdfunding for impact, you need both publications. This partnership is just getting started, and we can't wait to see where it takes us next.Max-Impact MembersThe following Max-Impact Members provide valuable financial support:Carol Fineagan, Independent Consultant | Lory Moore, Lory Moore Law | Marcia Brinton, High Desert Gear | Paul Lovejoy, Stakeholder Enterprise | Pearl Wright, Global Changemaker | Ralf Mandt, Next Pitch | Scott Thorpe, Philanthropist | Matthew Mead, Hempitecture | Michael Pratt, Qnetic | Sharon Samjitsingh, Health Care Originals | Add Your Name HereUpcoming SuperCrowd Event CalendarIf a location is not noted, the events below are virtual.* Impact Cherub Club Meeting hosted by The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, on June 17, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern.

Why Return on Time (ROT) is the new ROI—and how to design your business around itYou'll learn how Preston optimizes for time freedom, not just profit—and how applying ROT, ROM (Return on Marketing), and ROE (Return on Emotion) has helped him build a business portfolio that supports his lifestyle, not consumes it.3.) How he turned a $12M lawsuit into the best thing that ever happened to his companyWhen a shady developer put Preston's real estate empire at risk, he could've folded. Instead, he went public, led with integrity, and earned even more trust from banks and partners—proving that doing the right thing when no one's looking is the ultimate business strategy.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/235Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Episode Summary: In this replay episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan kicks off the debut episode of Sunvoy's new podcast series, What Solar Installers Need to Know? With over 20 years of experience in the energy industry, Benoy joins Joe Marhamati, co-founder of Sunvoy, for a candid and insightful conversation covering the real-world challenges and opportunities shaping solar today. Topics Covered: The ongoing headaches of interconnection and how to navigate them How community solar is opening up new possibilities Why project financing is evolving—and what you need to know now The overlooked potential of renewable energy credits (RECs) How tariffs are disrupting the solar supply chain What's next: battery tech, blockchain, and vehicle-to-grid innovation Whether you're deep in solar development or just passionate about clean energy and grid transformation, this episode is packed with practical insights and future-focused takes.   Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy and he is also an advisor for several solar startup companies.  He has extensive project origination, development, and financial experience in the renewable energy industry and in the environmental commodities market.   This includes initial site evaluation, permitting, financing, sourcing equipment, and negotiating the long-term energy and environmental commodities off-take agreements. He manages due diligence processes on land, permitting, and utility interconnection and is in charge of financing and structuring through Note to Proceed (“NTP”) to Commercial Operation Date (“COD”). Benoy composes teams suitable for all project development and construction tasks. He is also involved in project planning and pipeline financial modeling. He has been part of all sides of the transaction and this allows him to provide unique perspectives and value. Benoy has extensive experience in financial engineering to make solar projects profitable. Before founding Reneu Energy, he was the SREC Trader in the Project Finance Group for SolarCity which merged with Tesla in 2016.  He originated SREC trades with buyers and co-developed their SREC monetization and hedging strategy with the senior management of SolarCity to move into the east coast markets.  Benoy was the Vice President at Vanguard Energy Partners which is a national solar installer where he focused on project finance solutions for commercial scale solar projects.  He also worked for Ridgewood Renewable Power, a private equity fund, where he analyzed potential investments in renewable energy projects and worked on maximizing the financial return of the projects in the portfolio.  Benoy also worked on the sale of all of the renewable energy projects in Ridgewood's portfolio.   He was in the Energy Structured Finance practice for Deloitte & Touche and in Financial Advisory Services practice at Ernst & Young.  Benoy received his first experience in Finance as an intern at D.E. Shaw & Co., which is a global investment firm with 37 billion dollars in investment capital. He has a MBA in Finance from Rutgers University and a BS in Finance and Economics from the Stern School of Business at New York University.  Benoy was an Alumni Scholar at the Stern School of Business.   Joe Marhamati What gets me out of bed every day is helping solar installers learn from my lived experience in building and selling an eight-figure solar business, not just the successes but also the mistakes. In my current role as co-founder and CFO of Sunvoy, I help solar installers build their brands by building a white-labeled customer portal and fleet management platform to bring together all of their fleet data into a single location. I'm also passionate about helping solar installers with their tech stack, growth strategy, management and leadership direction, and exit plans. My results: → Spent nearly 10 years at the U.S. Department of Energy // Obama White House helping to catalyze the modern cleantech industry → Built and scaled Ipsun Solar 0-$12M in revenue → Grew a team of over 60 in service of the mission of installing residential and commercial rooftop solar → Started Sunvoy to help solar installers worldwide scale their businesses → In April 2024 exited solar construction business to help other solar business owners with Sunvoy → During the last 16 months I've helped more than 50 solar businesses throughout North and South America and Europe to build their brand equity and grow referrals with Sunvoy When I coach solar business owners, I teach them how to build efficient, profitable revenue growth, how to go to market the new way, a relentless focus on the customer, team, speed, execution, brand & culture. And build an ecosystem around their company.

How do you build an endless stream of referrals to sustain your recruitment business during an economic downturn?Brandon Glyck relies on this strategy: relentless follow-ups. This doesn't mean harassing a client or candidate to do follow-ups; in fact, it is the other way around. I am sure you will find Brandon's insight on this topic interesting!Brandon is the CEO of Quantum Search Partners in Virginia, where he leads a passionate team of tech and executive recruiters.They've been recognized three consecutive years on the Inc.500 list of fastest-growing companies (2021-2023) and have twice been a Washington Business Journal Best Place to Work (2023 and 2024).Episode Outline and Highlights[03:15] How Brandon got into recruiting at the young age of 18.[11:24] Doing things differently to adapt to the 2008 recession.[15:24] The strategy of leveraging relationships and constant referrals via relentless follow-ups.[33:12] “Those who appear hungry will starve.” - Know Brandon's conversation approach.[37:46] Dealing with the 2023 Tech downturn by upping their outbound business development.[44:02] Discussion on Tech Stacks, AI, and automation - what are the key things to personalize?[53:48] Brandon's plans and what the next 18 years will look like.[56:49] Building a culture aligned with a common vision and shared values.[1:01:30] Why lean towards retained and executive search?Age is Not a Differentiator Brandon shared an astonishing story about making his first placement when he was 18, while attending school. Inspired by his father, being young was never a differentiating factor that hindered him from building a solid foundation as an effective recruiter and eventually a business owner. He shared, “I saw my dad doing it. My dad would close deals like sitting on a lounge chair in the middle of our living room… I'm like, well, if he can do it, you know, why can't I do it? You do the research on the companies you're representing. You learn about the skill sets, and you just dive into it. And I don't think age is a differentiating factor. I think sometimes it's confidence or like. Yeah, I think that's a big part of it.”There are at least three factors that contributed to his success as a young recruiter:His humble learning attitude: by observing his father and other seniors “educate” him, he easily learned the tricks of the trade.His confidence: his drive to succeed gave him the mindset that age is never a differentiating factorHis perspective and mindset: knowing that all men are equal, he treats everyone the same. How he would treat a CEO is how he would also treat a janitor.Building a Stream of Referrals Through Relentless Follow-Ups Another stunning fact: Brandon and his team built a $5.5m business almost entirely by referrals. All recruiters and recruitment business owners aim to deliver their best to clients and candidates to build a stream of referrals. Brandon's strategy is heavily reliant on relentless follow-ups.What exactly does this mean?Consistency over intensity: It's not about hounding people, but staying top-of-mind over a long period.Genuine care: The intent is to show real interest in people's well-being, not just to chase business.Long-term mindset: Understand that value and referrals can take years to come to fruition.Controlled intensity: Stay focused, don't obsess over results—just stay consistent with outreach.Relationship-first approach: Business follows when trust and familiarity are built.Brandon shared a pragmatic approach that they use to execute the above, such as using different contact options (email, text, phone calls), tracking systems, segmented contact lists, MPCs, and others. He also emphasized the importance of adding value to the community by doing acts of goodwill, such as reviewing resumes and committing to it regularly.Showing Resilience - 2008 Recession & 2023 Tech DownturnYou will also admire Brandon's story on how he and his dad dealt with the 2008 recession. He was just starting as a recruiter back then, and when they lost their biggest client (AIG), he started making cold calls: “He ended up effectively losing that client. And it's now this summer before I'm going back to school. He buys me a book of computer executive contact info. So this is again, pre-Zoom info, like true cold calling from a book. So I'm doing a hundred cold calls. I have my little cold call script, 19 or 20 at this time, and I start landing us business. It was pretty cool. Like, looking back on it at the time, I didn't know what the heck I was doing, but it was working.”The same approach worked in 2023, during the tech downturn when Brandon and his team had to up their outbound business development. Brandon elaborated on four action points:Diversifying into new industries.Focusing on relevant and personalized outreaches.Testing multiple business development tactics, andBuilding a repeatable, scalable process.He also shared their tech stacks and how they are using them not to automate outreaches, but rather to personalize them.Indeed, a recruiter's resilient mindset is the key to remaining relevant and successful in a market where nothing can be certain.Brandon Glyck Bio and Contact InfoCEO at Quantum Search Partners, where I lead a passionate and talented team of tech and executive recruiters.Creative, driven, and competitive executive and technology talent leader who is willing to go above and beyond for clients, candidates, and team members. Passionate about affecting the future success and bottom line growth of our clients by connecting them with industry-leading and impactful talent and leadership.Former college athlete (football) and graduate of Princeton University with a major in Psychology.Outside of Quantum, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and have personal interests in fitness, performance psychology, travel, and start-up investing.Brandon on LinkedInQuantum Search Partners website linkPeople and Resources MentionedCharlie Saffro on LinkedInBrent Orsuga on LinkedInJeremy Jenson on LinkedInCrelateDripifyRelated Podcasts You Might EnjoyTRR#228 The 4 Talent Magnets that Drive Recruiter Retention and SuccessTRR#218 How Grit and Determination Fueled a $2M Recruitment Firm's SuccessTRR#217 How to Elevate Your Recruitment Firm to $12M with Effective Lead GenerationConnect with Mark WhitbyGet your FREE 30-minute strategy callMark on LinkedIn, Mark on Twitter: @MarkWhitbyMark on FacebookMark on Instagram: @RecruitmentCoachSubscribe to The Resilient RecruiterIf you've been enjoying the podcast, please take two minutes to leave a review.

Furkan Yuce started Elevation Flooring with a couple scrappy partners and $2500 in the bank 7 years ago. Since then they've grown it organically to $7M revenue in 2024 and they're on pace for $10-12M in 2025. They've built some unique advantages that help them scale and be competitive like proprietary software and a back office team in Turkey. We discuss what the company is worth today, working capital constraints and what number might tempt Furkan to sell or not. Furkan Yuce on X: https://x.com/FurkYuceClint Fiore & Dealonmy: https://www.dealonomy.com/Patrick Dichter & Appletree: https://appletreebusiness.com/
