What happens when it's time to sell? Every acquirer looks at your business differently. In this special episode of Built to Sell Radio, John Warrillow breaks down the four most common buyer profiles and explains how each thinks about acquiring a company. Along the way, you'll hear clips from past guests from our Inside the Mind of an Acquirer series. 

SUMMARY  What do we do when God asks us to make business risks for His kingdom? This episode dives into the world of entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) with two incredible stories of how God leads ordinary people into extraordinary ventures. In the first half, we sit down with Matt Barnes, an ETA who acquired a laundry service, as he shares his story of how the Lord guided him into and through this journey of business ownership. In the second half, you'll hear a live recording from our annual Business for the Common Good event, where Denver Institute founder Jeff Haanen interviews another ETA, Bob Larkin. Each entrepreneur brings a unique perspective on integrating faith into business, creating caring work environments, and the risks and rewards of following God's call in the marketplace. Together, their stories highlight the importance of community, wisdom, and a vision for businesses that prioritize both employee well-being and spiritual growth. HIGHLIGHTS  On Ownership as Shepherding "We bought a small business and we're functionally the shepherds or pastors of this group of people, most of which don't find themselves in church. And we think that that's an incredible opportunity to glorify the Lord in excellence in what we do, provide a service to the front range, and then care for our employees and their families while we do it." - Matt Barnes On Risk  "....First and foremost is surrendering to the Lord's will. Treatment tech belongs to the Lord. It's very obvious to me in how he brought the business to the table, right? That's a huge blessing to look at one business and that be the business that you acquire and allow it to grow. And so every day I can look at Treatment Tech and say, this is yours, Lord. When things are going well, you're blessing us. When things are challenging, you're teaching us. And In both circumstances, you're drawing us closer to you, and I'm open to both of those." - Bob Larkin RESOURCES  Download the episode transcript here Learn more about Matt Barnes redemptive business story here from Christ At Work or this video by Aquiring Minds  Nominate a Founder or Mentor for our upcoming Denver Redemptive Lab this Fall November 12 to 14, 2025.

In publishing my first ever blog post, I suppose I had four primary objectives:First, to make a small contribution to the collective understanding, awareness and discussion surrounding issues of mental health, particularly that of Entrepreneurs and CEOs.Second, to simply discuss my challenges publicly. After all, if I didn't do my own part to contribute to the discussion around the worries, thoughts, and fears that Entrepreneurs and CEOs face, what right did I have to lament the fact that they weren't being discussed enough more broadly? Third, to speak to any leaders who might have been experiencing feelings similar to those which I had feltAnd, finally, to share some of the lessons that I had learned as a result of dealing with these challenges, some of which only became clear to me with the benefit of time and hindsightIn re-publishing that post today, my goals remain the very same. Though I had no plans or expectations after publishing the article in 2021, that single post was the first of 119 others that have followed over the past 4.5 years. I hope that at least one of these episodes has informed - perhaps even helped - some aspect of either your personal or professional life.

In this sharp and savvy episode, host Jaryd Krause welcomes M&A heavyweight Michael Vann—President of the Vann Group and Principal at Eaton Square—for a deep dive into the brilliant… and brutally expensive mistakes entrepreneurs make when trying to grow through acquisition. With 25+ years of deal-making, scaling, and succession planning, Michael’s been in the trenches guiding businesses to multi-million dollar exits across industries from manufacturing to online empires. He’s seen it all—and he’s here to share what not to do when chasing growth. Spoiler: Buying three businesses in six months with zero integration strategy? That’s not scaling. That’s self-sabotage. In this no-fluff convo, you’ll learn: ✔️ The explosive difference between a strategic buyer and a chaotic cowboy ✔️ Why some acquisitions implode and drain value instead of adding it ✔️ How to prep your current business to absorb acquisitions without blowing it up ✔️ The secret to thinking beyond the buy—to integration and exit strategy ✔️ How to build a business so irresistible that even your competitors want to buy it If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I’ll just buy another business and double my revenue,” you need to hear this.

It was around Memorial Day in 2022 when Coca Cola stunned the beverage world by announcing it was shutting down production of Honest Tea. No one was more surprised than Seth Goldman, who had co-founded the brand and sold it to Coke. But within two weeks, he'd decided to do it all again, and by that Labor Day, bottles of his new venture, Just Ice Tea, were already landing on store shelves. And now, three years later, Just Ice Tea has exploded from $1 million in annual revenue to nearly $24 million to rank 88th on the latest Inc. 5000—more than two decades after Honest Tea first appeared on the list. Which makes this the perfect moment to revisit the conversation I recorded with Seth right before Just Ice Tea launched. In it, he shares how he processed Coke's decision, why he sold to Coke in the first place, what compelled him to get back into the business, and what he learned working inside the world's largest beverage company. And yes, I asked whether he could imagine selling this brand to Coke, too.

And since we all only have so much time to learn everything needed to maximize access to reinforcement in our lives, we don't really have the luxury of time to mess about. So, in good behavior analyst fashion, we look for a better way to min-max our learning activities. Thanks to our awesome patrons, we're talking about increasing the efficiency of skill acquisition through preference assessment, choice, , and reinforcement timing. So many options, but which ones actually matter when it comes to running the most efficient teaching sessions? Patrons receive a FREE CE for listening to this episode.

Plus, join our market newsletter for more on dividend growth investing.Dividend investing isn't about settling for slow growth. To grow your income, you need to own growing companies, and the real wins come when you find them at a discount.

When Michelle Denogean joined Roadster as CMO, the company had a great product—but no one knew who they were or why their solution mattered. Digital retailing in the automotive space was still emerging, and skeptical dealerships weren't ready to dive into their innovative model. Eighteen months later, Roadster had grown its sales pipeline 5X, slashed its sales cycle by 25%, and increased branded search volume by 10X. Not only that—it was acquired by the largest tech company in auto retail for $360 million. So, what changed? Michelle led a full-scale strategic rebrand that prioritized education, positioned Roadster as the industry authority, and rebuilt alignment between sales and marketing teams to boost conversion. In today's case study, this six-time CMO (currently at Mindtrip), author of GrowUp!, and now startup advisor reveals how she built a category-defining brand and used customer-led storytelling, non-social media driven influencer strategy, and omnichannel thought leadership to 10X business. If you're trying to disrupt your industry, this is the blueprint.
