Don't Fall for the Buyer's Trap: Why No-Marketing Businesses Aren't Easy Wins In this episode of Jackquisitions, we dive into a common pitfall many first-time buyers fall for—the belief that a business with little or no marketing is a “goldmine” just waiting to be unlocked. Spoiler: it's not that simple. Using the tongue-in-cheek example of an underwater basket weaving business, we break down the real costs of building out a marketing engine from scratch.Jack unpacks the "buyer's trap": the dangerous assumption that adding marketing will instantly generate revenue. In reality, successful marketing requires time, capital, and deep strategic focus—and that investment often erodes the profit margins buyers were initially excited about. Instead of chasing fixer-uppers, Jack recommends targeting businesses with established marketing systems already in place. It's about buying stability, not a project.Whether you're just starting your acquisition journey or knee-deep in LOIs, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to grow through home service business acquisitions without overextending financially.

His story offers a blueprint for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to grow through home service business acquisitions and enter the trades without large upfront capital.Elias walks us through how he sourced deals through cold calling, built a team of experienced operators, and executed a management services agreement (MSA)—a unique acquisition model that minimizes financial risk while maximizing upside. With ambitious plans to hit a $10 million revenue run rate by the end of the year and scale to $27 million, Elias reveals his playbook for growth through acquisitions, operational excellence, and mentorship from seasoned industry professionals.

In this episode of The Art of SBA Lending, we're diving into one of the hottest and most complex topics in the industry today: broker compensation in SBA lending. As the competition for volume in the 7(a) space heats up, broker fees are on the rise—sometimes dramatically so. But what does that mean for the industry, lenders, and ultimately, the borrowers? Join us as Ray brings in another panel of expert Art of SBA Contributors to dissect the impact of increasing broker referral fees and the ripple effects they have on SBA lending. Is higher compensation pushing brokers to steer deals toward banks that offer the highest payout rather than the best solution for the borrower? And are those costs being passed on to the small business owner in the form of higher interest rates? In this episode, we'll break down: The ethics and impact of rising broker compensation How higher referral fees could affect borrower pricing Why banks might be "buying" business rather than earning it A proposed solution to ensure transparency and competition in the industry Joining us are top SBA professionals: Charles Green, SVP at Harvest Kay Anderson, SVP at Live Oak Bank Javier Jorge, CEO of Chatbiz and SBA Director at Locality Bank Tune in for a candid conversation on what's driving broker compensation trends and what the future of SBA lending might look like if these practices continue.

Over the years, Peterson has distinguished himself by participating in the MS 150 ride in Texas an impressive 13 times, demonstrating his relentless commitment to the cause through fundraising and raising awareness.

One of our favorite comics, Alan Peterson, came on the podcast to talk comedy but we mostly got pretty distracted

Alan and I catch up on a little bit about me, staying humble, and pondering how we end up places. Enjoy! Hey, welcome to another podcast where I sit down from time to time with some of my family, friends, and other people I look up to or some people I don’t know. My name’s Rob Banks and welcome to Banks Heist.

This question was sent by Alan. And he’s a member of the team who transcribes fingering and pedaling from the videos, and prepares nicely done fingering and pedaling practice scores. So Alan writes: Vidas and Ausra, I enjoyed this episode, thanks. You mention Sauer’s crescendo roller. We saw one of these demonstrated by Andreas Sieling when we toured the Berliner Dom last year. I didn’t quite understand this unique device ; perhaps you could explain exactly how it works in a future episode. Is it selectable to specific manuals? Does it change wind pressure or add/subtract from registrations? Thanks and regards, Alan Peterson

Whether you live in Southern California like me, or somewhere else, you may be aware of all the fires we keep getting down here. What's the deal with those, and what can we do to prevent them? Are prescribed burns a good idea? In other words, should we deliberately start fires? Let's talk about this with wildfire expert Chris Giesige! There's a lot to learn regarding the history of wildfires, and steps we need to take in the present to work and live with fire. Moderator Alan Peterson joins us, and there is much fun to be had. Guest: Chris Giesige Moderator: Alan Peterson All music created by Simulated Sun: www.simulatedsun.com Check out educational tutorials by Professor Dave: www.professordaveexplains.com

Alan Peterson talks about his experience of receiving the Second-Sight Argus-2 Retinal Implant. Alan shares the experience of having surgery and how the device has changed his life.

This is our Trek: The Movie episode, where we feature interviews with Alan Peterson the Director and Producer of this upcoming movie being released by Deseret Book and Excel Entertainment. We also have an interview with David Howard the screen writer and Austin Grant, the lead actor and Stefania Barr lead actress from the film. This is a great family film that is the latest from the constantly growing genre of mormon cinema. Some of you might ask, “What does Trek: The Movie have to do with missionary work?" Watch the movie and listen to the podcast and you will see. We have some great mission stories and we hope to show you how film projects like this have be a platform for re-activiation efforts, or to help minister to the youth—our future missionaries. Music for this episode comes from the soundtrack of Trek The Movie and our special guest Stefania Barr's band, Shrink the Giant. The whole soundtrack features local bands from Utah which is a really cool addition to this independent film.

I feel like I should start with an apology because this recording had so much quality I had to take out just to get it close to thirty minutes. I give all the credit to Alan whose a man and a comic who is all about vulnerability. There's nothing we can't talk about on stage and off and there's nothing we didn't talk about. Alan was one of the two people I met when I first walked into The Fourth Wall to do my first open mic in a new venue and from that moment I've always been so happy to catch up when I see him at a mic.  In this conversation we talk about being considered an Uncle Tom even when you're white, the struggles of being an individual even when you're wrong, and (of course) Granny Porn. 

Recovery invites us to discover and sing the song of our heart. Since it has the power to uncover truths that lay deep within our heart, music is an essential part of our recovery tool kit. Special guest Alan Peterson, New Thought singer/songwriter, poet, speaker, activist, and life coach, made a courageous decision many years ago to sing the song of his creative heart. It changed his life. With his playful, positive, and sometimes rebellious approach, Alan shares some of the songs of his heart and how music calls us into healing, creativity, and joyful awakened living.
