Podcasts about Brannon

Private equity has pushed CPA firm valuations higher than anyone expected, and Brannon Poe says the accounting profession still has significant runway left. In this solo episode, Brannon steps away from the usual guest format to share a market update: where private equity stands in accounting M&A, how AI is reshaping which practices are in demand, and what firm owners should understand about valuation before they consider a sale.Brannon walks through why the accounting industry remains more fragmented than sectors like veterinary, dental, and healthcare, and why that suggests more consolidation is ahead. He explains a shift in buyer demand: as AI absorbs more of the simpler, transactional work, both advisory practices and straightforward individual tax practices are seeing strong interest, while service mixes that once felt safe are being reevaluated.He also addresses the questions he hears most often. Has private equity permanently changed the profession? Is there a bubble forming? Which firms are not a good fit for a PE sale? Brannon offers grounded, experience-based answers to each, drawing on Poe Group Advisors' work selling CPA firms since 2003.The conversation moves into what actually makes a transition successful. Brannon argues that fit, cultural alignment, shared vision, and compatible management styles matter more than most sellers expect, and that talking with a wide pool of potential buyers before committing to one leads to better outcomes on both price and terms. He closes with a look at the fundamentals of valuation, why virtual and metro-area firms tend to draw stronger multiples, and why terms often matter more than the headline number.The Conversation Covers:How AI is shifting buyer demand toward advisory work and away from simpler compliance servicesWhy the accounting industry still has more consolidation ahead compared to other PE-driven verticalsHow to know if your firm is a good fit for a Private Equity sale versus a traditional buyerWhy talking with more potential buyers before granting exclusivity leads to a better outcomeHow location and virtual operations expand your buyer pool and strengthen your valuationWhy the multiple you see in a headline deal rarely tells the full storyThis episode is for firm owners curious about how private equity is changing the accounting profession, practitioners wondering how AI will affect the value of their practice, and anyone exploring a future sale who wants to understand what actually drives valuation.Timestamps: 00:45 - Why this episode is a solo market update instead of a guest interview02:10 - The state of the CPA firm M&A market in August 202603:40 - Why Accounting Practice valuations keep climbing past projections05:15 - How the accounting industry compares to more consolidated verticals like veterinary and dental07:00 - Why AI is shifting demand toward advisory and Tax Practice work09:20 - Whether Private Equity has permanently changed the Accounting Firm Owner landscape11:45 - Is there a bubble in Accounting Practice valuations13:30 - Which CPA Firms should think twice before selling to Private Equity15:50 - How PE consolidation connects to the Silver Tsunami and Firm Succession18:10 - Why fit matters more than price in a Public Accounting sale20:35 - The hiring-process analogy for finding the right buyer23:00 - A ten-year outlook for the Accounting Practice profession25:20 - Why supply and demand drive CPA Firm valuation27:15 - How location and virtual firms affect your buyer pool29:40 - The most common misconception about Practice Management and firm value31:50 - Why terms matter more than the multiple you see in headlines

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes welcomes back Brannon Moncrief of McLerran & Associates for a timely conversation about the current dental transition market, DSO consolidation, and how practice owners should evaluate their exit options. Brannon breaks down why the DSO market has shifted since the white-hot acquisition years of 2021 and 2022, how higher interest rates and more disciplined buyers have changed valuations and deal structures, and why alignment between sellers and DSOs matters more than ever.  He also compares DSO affiliations with private doctor-to-doctor sales, explaining how revenue, EBITDA, cash at close, work-back expectations, equity risk, and operational support all factor into the decision. Together, Mark and Brannon discuss when a private sale may make more sense, when a DSO deal may be worth exploring, and why understanding both the economics and the "why" behind a sale is essential for making the right transition decision.

Everyone's watching interest rates, the election, and capital markets — but Brannon Moncrief, a 20-year sell-side advisor with over 200 DSO transactions, says timing the market is a mistake and timing your situation is everything. In this episode, Brannon breaks down why quality practices are still commanding 7-9x EBITDA despite a "tight" market, the diligence red flags separating stable DSOs from ones quietly falling apart, and the handful of things that actually predict whether a doctor is happy three years after their sale — insight David ties back to a bigger question every seller eventually faces: how much is really enough?

What if the practice you've spent years growing isn't actually worth what you think it is to a buyer? Jordin McEntire sits down with Brannon Moncrief, CEO of McLerran & Associates, to unpack what's really happening in today's private equity and DSO market. Brannon breaks down why crossing $3 million in revenue changes your options, what buyers actually screen for before they'll bid, and how EBITDA multiples are trading today.

If you're a few years out from a sale, this episode will change how you plan for it.

Most CPA firm owners know their revenue. Far fewer know how a buyer would value the business behind it.Brannon Poe, founder of Poe Group Advisors, joins Tom Wadelton and Adam Hale to break down the factors that make an accounting practice more attractive to buyers. After working on hundreds of CPA firm sales and acquisitions, Brannon has seen which operational decisions strengthen value and which ones create risk during a transition. He explains why profitability and owner dependency are the two metrics firm owners should watch most closely. He also shares why virtual firms can attract a wider buyer pool, why headline offers can be misleading, how niches and technology influence value only when they improve results, and what owner hours reveal about the strength of the team. Tune in now and hear insights that shift the way you think about building a firm that's ready to sell. ▶️How to Build a CPA Firm That Attracts Buyers with Brannon Poe. Episode resources:● Website: https://anderscpa.com/● If you have questions or would like to be a guest on the show, email us at mcpasuccessshow@anderscpa.com● Check out the Virtual CFO Playbook Course:https://anderscpa.com/virtual-cfo-services/vcfo-playbook/● Explore Poe Group Advisors: https://poegroupadvisors.com/● Email Poe Group Advisors: info@poegroupadvisors.comQuotesBrannon Poe: “The things that you can control are the profitability of the practice and the owner dependency.”Adam Hale: “It is about creating that competitive market, not just for the best price, but the best fit.”Brannon Poe founded Poe Group Advisors and has been guiding accounting practice transitions since 2003.

Shame might be the silent architect behind our biggest relationship struggles—fueling secrecy, driving distance, and making genuine intimacy feel just out of reach. When the fear of rejection or not being enough sneaks in, it often keeps us locked in painful cycles of criticism, defensiveness, and disconnect. But what if the way we react to shame is the very thing sabotaging our deepest connections? In this episode, the discussion dives into how shame operates beneath the surface of issues like betrayal, addiction, and disconnection, and offers concrete strategies for transforming these patterns. Through personal stories, therapeutic insights, and powerful principles such as courage, context, and compassion, listeners are guided in breaking free from shame's grip. The conversation also explores practical ways to practice vulnerability, build safety, and foster more authentic connections—both with ourselves and our partners. Brannon Patrick, LCSW, and Tyler Patrick, LMFT, are brothers and licensed clinicians who help individuals and couples heal after infidelity, addiction, and the trust rupture that follows. With 20+ years each in addiction and trauma work, they bring both depth and straight talk, translating complex psychology into practical next steps people can use immediately. Together, they host The Therapy Brothers, a weekly call-in show where real people work through betrayal, shame, trauma, and addiction in real time, with over 500 episodes and nearly 2 million downloads. Their approach centers on heart work: healing the underlying trauma and shame so couples can rebuild trust with honesty, accountability, empathy, and healthy strength.   Episode Highlights 03:25 Overcoming betrayal and rebuilding trust. 07:34 Authenticity vs connection in relationships. 12:17 Shame's hidden impact on self-image. 15:35 Using IFS to overcome shame. 18:39 Choosing love and self-awareness. 21:10 Navigating shame's impact on relationships. 24:13 Navigating vulnerability in relationships. 28:28 Embracing compassion over self-criticism. 31:52 Exploring EFT and emotional connectivity. 34:48 Recovering trust after betrayal. 36:45 The trust equation and lasting love. 41:54 Beginning your healing journey.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Practice Courage: Begin sharing your personal story and feelings with people you trust, focusing on authenticity and vulnerability. Build Context: Remind yourself you are not alone in your struggles; seek out others with similar experiences to normalize your feelings and reduce shame. Cultivate Compassion: Replace self-criticism with curiosity and kindness; when you notice a harsh inner voice, intentionally respond with understanding instead. Separate Your Parts: Use parts work or Internal Family Systems (IFS) to identify shame-driven and protective parts within yourself, then approach them with gratitude rather than rejection. Join a Support Group: Find or create safe spaces such as group therapy or support circles where you can practice vulnerability and receive nonjudgmental feedback. Create Boundaries: Establish healthy internal and external boundaries so you can engage with others' emotions without absorbing attacks or losing your sense of self. Get Professional Help: Explore modalities such as IFS, EMDR, ART, or DBT to address entrenched patterns and trauma that reinforce shame. Work on Relationship Recovery: If healing from betrayal, prioritize establishing safety and consistency, then focus on individual growth alongside nurturing relationship trust and intimacy.   Mentioned The Therapy Brothers (podcast) Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free relationship guide)   Connect with Tyler and Brannon Patrick Website: therapybrothers.org YouTube: youtube.com/@lovestrong | youtube.com/@therapy.brothers  Facebook: facebook.com/love.strong.org | facebook.com/ExpertBrannon  Instagram: instagram.com/therapy.brothers/ | instagram.com/sunrisegoal LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/brannon-patrick/ | linkedin.com/in/tyler-patrick-lmft-24488366/ | linkedin.com/in/chase-jones-b63368128

What do you do with a relationship after a shocking truth comes out? If you're the betrayed partner making the therapy appointments, reading the books alone, and wondering whether the person across from you is actually changing — this episode is for you.What most people don't realize is that the day you found out wasn't the beginning of the problem. The patterns of behavior that led to betrayal started long before that moment. And the real question isn't just why did this happen and how do I fix it — it's how do you both heal from betrayal trauma, and how do you know whether your relationship can survive it?My guests are Brannon Patrick, LCSW, and Tyler Patrick, LMFT — brothers, licensed therapists, and hosts of the Therapy Brothers podcast. Between them they bring more than 40 years of experience in addiction and trauma work, and across more than 500 call-in episodes they've sat with real people in real time navigating betrayal, shame, and the long road back.In this episode we go deep on what your body needs in the immediate aftermath of discovery, why sobriety and real recovery are not the same thing, and the three specific signs Brannon and Tyler look for when assessing whether a relationship can genuinely be repaired.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the patterns behind betrayal started long before discovery — and what that changes about the repair processWhat to do when your whole system goes into shock and you can't think straightHow grounding, breathwork, and somatic healing help refill an emotional tank running on emptyWhy no major decision is worth making when you're at an eight out of ten — and what to do instead while you return to a fiveWhy the hurt partner often ends up overfunctioning — and how it quietly affects the relationship dynamicWhat shame resilience actually sounds like in a conversation, and why it's the skill that makes real honesty possibleHow to tell the difference between a partner doing the work for themselves versus performing it for youWhy rigorous honesty isn't the same as confessing every detail — and how anxiety can disguise itself as transparencyThe 3 signs Brannon and Tyler watch for when someone is genuinely in recoveryHow to be vulnerable in small ways when rebuilding trust after infidelity or betrayal still terrifies youWhether you're standing at the crossroads of betrayal or deep in the process of infidelity recovery, this conversation will give you a clearer lens — and a little more ground under your feet.Cheers to more love and freedom,LaurieClick here to learn more about my Somatic/Yoga course with Harmony YogaClick here to purchase my “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” it's $29.99Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseConnect with me:WebsiteInstagramConnect with Brannon & Tyler:WebsiteInstagramYouTubeListen to Brannon and Tyler's weekly call-in show: The Therapy Brothers Podcast Please leave me feedback.

This week's guest, Sophie Brannon, details her first big move to London at 18 to chase a career in music journalism, landing concert tickets and festival passes as pay for her reviews at Kerrang Magazine. When the economics stopped working, she moved into a copywriter role at a digital agency and never left the industry, eventually becoming co-founder and director of StudioHawk US, one of the world's most respected specialist SEO agencies. In this episode, Sophie traces that winding path from rock journalism to SEO leadership, breaks down the real signal inside the AI search noise, and makes the case for why genuine relationships remain the foundation of everything that works in this industry.Episode Highlights: Sophie shares why the fundamentals of SEO, technical health, authoritative content, and brand signals are exactly what drive performance in AI search, and why the numbers never supported the "SEO is dead" narrative.Sophie details her initial refusal to move into an SEO role at 20 years old, explaining how her managers, who insisted she could do it anyway, set the entire trajectory of her career.She makes the case for treating AI search as an additional channel rather than a replacement, and explains why the real fix is to pull SEO into a holistic brand strategy it should have been part of all along.This conversation shares why StudioHawk turned away significant revenue by being honest about client fit, and why that honesty has become one of their strongest marketing assets.This episode illustrates what adaptability looks like in practice for an SEO agency leader as the search landscape changes in real time.Episode Links:Sophie Brannon on LinkedIn: Sophie BrannonSophie on Instagram: @sophiebrannonseoStudioHawk US: studiohawk.comProduct Led SEO by Eli Schwartz: Available on AmazonSend us Fan MailFollow The Digital Marketing Mentor:Website and Blog: thedmmentor.comInstagram: @thedmmentorLinkedin: @thedmmentorYouTube: @thedmmentorInterested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?

Rebekah Brown Olson didn't plan to lead a state CPA society. A single leadership assessment during a firm training session reframed how she saw her own strengths, and thirteen years later she's the CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs, connecting firm leaders across the profession every day. In this conversation, Brannon Poe talks with Rebekah about what's really driving change in accounting right now, and why she believes community, not information, is what separates firms that thrive from firms that struggle.Rebekah shares an encouraging read on the student pipeline, pointing to strong turnout and impressive second-career candidates at a recent University of Maryland accounting graduation event. She also walks through her theory on where private equity is headed: a barbell shaped profession, with large firms formed through consolidation on one end and a new wave of small, independent firms on the other, as CPAs who leave newly acquired environments choose to build something of their own.For firm owners thinking about their own exit, Rebekah's advice centers on two habits: treating strategy as something to revisit constantly rather than a plan that sits on a shelf, and involving the people around you early, since real alignment comes from letting your team weigh in on where the firm is headed.The Conversation Covers:How a leadership assessment redirected Rebekah's entire career pathWhy community may be the biggest differentiator for CPA firms over the next decadeHow private equity could reshape the profession into a barbell-shaped structureWhy small firms are positioned to specialize and move faster than larger competitorsHow involving your team early creates real strategic alignment ahead of a transitionWhy choosing the right private equity partner matters more than the deal itselfRebekah closes with a story from her college years at Ohio State, working as a football field manager during a live scrimmage, that ties back to the same theme running through the whole conversation: what it looks like when a community shows up for someone.This Episode Is For:Firm owners curious about how community and connection shape long-term successLeaders ready to think through a 5 to 10 year exit and succession planPractitioners wondering how private equity might change hiring, retention, and cultureAnyone interested in how small firms can compete through specialization and speedBook Recommendation:The Upside of Stress: Why Stress Is Good for You, and How to Get Good at It by Dr. Kelly McGonigal Amazon linkTimestamps:00:00 - Brannon Poe intro and podcast welcome 00:14 - Introducing Rebekah Brown Olson, CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs 00:57 - How a quarter-life crisis and a leadership assessment changed Rebekah's career path 01:41 - From CPA firm senior to curriculum developer at the Maryland Association of CPAs 03:12 - Working part time, then full time, then becoming CEO three years ago 04:02 - What Brannon and Rebekah share: burning out of public practice and finding a better fit 04:45 - What Rebekah gets to do now: advocate for the profession and connect people across it 05:06 - The big picture view: what the Maryland Association of CPAs CEO is seeing right now 05:31 - Why getting good at change is the most important capability for any accounting firm 06:00 - Why community is the competitive advantage when complexity and change accelerate 06:34 - Why you can't know everything but you can know a lot of people 07:19 - Recruiting new students: are the numbers moving and what kind of students are coming in 08:15 - Why the pipeline alarm is starting to work and what recent graduation events are showing 08:40 - Accounting as a stable major during economic uncertainty 09:07 - What the new wave of accounting students looks like: different backgrounds, strong leaders 09:30 - Retention: are people staying in the profession better than they used to?

Welcome to a special patriotic edition of "Encounter God's Truth." You know that Dr. John Whitcomb was a Bible teacher, author and educator. But did you know that he also served in a field artillery battalion in the Army in Europe during World War II? And that his family has a rich history of military service? This week's broadcast varies from our normal format, as we are going to listen to a portion of a classic interview that Brannon Howse conducted with Dr. Whitcomb on his program, "Worldview Weekend Radio," where Dr. Whitcomb appeared regularly as a guest for six years. They held this conversation in April of 2015, after Dr. Whitcomb went to tour Washington, D.C., on the Indy Honor Flight. They discussed that memorable event, then went into some of the details that Dr. Whitcomb remembered from World War II. We are grateful for Brannon's permission to bring this unforgettable audio to you. Host Wayne Shepherd helps us see how this intimate remembrance of history causes us to learn once again that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end!

I listened to every album by Laughing Hyenas. Formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan by John Brannon (of hardcore punk band Negative Approach) and Larissa Strickland (of L-Seven) in 1984, Laughing Hyenas were a noise rock band who fused elements of garage rock, punk, blues, and Birthday Party insanity. Their struggles with heroin led to chaos as the years went on, including Brannon vomiting on Drew Barrymore right before a show.  Intro 00:00 Laughing Hyenas Origins 1:23 Merry Go Round EP 7:32 You Can't Pray a Lie 11:53 Life of Crime 18:04 Crawl EP 23:00 Hard Times 26:05 Breakup/Puking on Drew Barrymore 31:33 Aftermath 34:26 Outro 36:25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Top 77 Album Recommendations: https://every-album-ever.kit.com/0ee90183d0   Join the Patreon, it rules: https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Mike's music: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   Tom Osman's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple, Website Podcast on Spotify, YouTube     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: You Can't Pray a Lie (1989) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Hard Times (1995) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums discussed this episode...

Send us Fan MailAre you training hard enough to actually grow? Drew Brandon and the training team unpack practical ways to measure real effort—like watching rep speed slow as you approach failure—and explain how to use RPE and RIR once your form is dialed in. They cover tempo myths, why a faster concentric can reveal true proximity to failure, and how a simple checklist can keep you from over-cueing and underperforming. You'll hear how in-person or group environments often unlock intensity many athletes haven't reached on their own, plus how smart recovery and deloads fit into the bigger picture.What You'll Learn:The simplest indicators you're within a few reps of failure (movement velocity, rep quality)How to use RPE and RIR effectively—and when they're most accurateWhy fewer cues and a short setup checklist often lead to bigger liftsThe 80–90% form rule, technical failure standards, and filming your setsRemote vs. in-person intensity differences and how group energy elevates outputRecovery markers, when a deload helps, and training without fear of injuryReady to push closer to failure, recover smarter, and finally see the progress you've been chasing? #TrainingIntensity #RPE #Hypertrophy #FitBodyFusion #DeloadDrew Brannon, an Exercise Science graduate from USF, owns Pinellas Ultimate Strength House, a premier 7,000 sq. ft. training facility in Largo, FL.

DC EKG with Joe Grogan Episode 137: Tax Expenditures, 340 B Drug Pricing, and Kidney Donation Reform Air Date: June 15, 2026 Episode DescriptionIn this episode, Joe Grogan sits down with Dr. Ike Brannon, President of Capital Policy Analytics and Senior Fellow at the Jack Kemp Foundation, to discuss hidden tax expenditures, the 340 B drug pricing program, and innovative solutions to the kidney shortage crisis. Dr. Brannon brings decades of Capitol Hill experience, including roles as chief economist of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and senior advisor to Senator Orrin Hatch. He and co-author Tony LoSasso recently published groundbreaking research in Health Affairs Forefront arguing that the 340 B drug pricing program should be classified as a hidden tax expenditure costing the federal government 15 to 20 billion dollars annually. The conversation covers how the 340 B program evolved from providing discounted drugs to uninsured patients into a massive subsidy for nonprofit institutions with little benefit to poor patients. Dr. Brannon explains how the same drug acquired at a 340 B discount often results in full commercial copays for patients. Joe and Dr. Brannon explore other problematic tax expenditures including the mortgage interest deduction, employer health insurance exclusion, and credit union tax breaks. The episode pivots to Dr. Branons passionate work on kidney donation reform. Forty-five thousand Americans die annually from end stage renal failure due to kidney shortage, disproportionately affecting African Americans. Dr. Brannon advocates for fully reimbursing kidney donors for all expenses.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Brannon Moncrief of McLerran & Associates to unpack the current state of dental practice transitions, valuations, and DSO affiliation. Brannon explains the key differences between doctor-to-doctor sales and DSO deals, including when a smaller practice may be better suited for a private buyer and when a larger, multi-provider practice may benefit from exploring the DSO route. They also discuss why younger dentists are selling earlier than previous generations, how inflation and staffing pressures are impacting EBITDA, and what sellers need to understand about cash at close, deal structure, platform opportunities, strategic buyers, and recap potential. Brannon also emphasizes the importance of having the right sell-side advisor to avoid bad actors, protect long-term outcomes, and make sure the deal aligns with the doctor's personal and professional goals.

This week I have on Brannon and Tyler Patrick, better known as The Therapy Brothers, to talk all about betrayal in a relationship. Betrayal is something couples struggle with to overcome, move on from or simply break from. It isn't easy when trust is lost. But, there is hope and The Therapy Brothers are experts in helping couples find their way back home. Whether that means within the relationship or separately. We talk all about triggers after a betrayal as well as addiction within a relationship as a form of betrayal. This is a beautiful episode filled with hope and expert advice for anyone struggling with this right now. https://www.instagram.com/therapy.brothers/Support the showFind Us:https://loveyouevenmore.com/https://www.jackiebrubaker.com/https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinebrubaker/

If you have been in the industry for a while, you likely know about Ric Payne. He co-founded Results Accounting Systems in 1992, ran the Accountants Boot Camp across multiple continents, and worked with thousands of firms around the world. His conclusion?

Maddy visits somewhere between three and five estate sales a week, and sometimes she even works with local estate sale companies to preview the sale before the doors open. Then she puts out a weekly roundup telling her followers exactly which sales are worth getting out of bed for. If you've ever walked past a house with a lawn full of strangers and wondered what on earth was happening inside, Maddy is the person who will not only explain it to you — she'll have you driving there by the weekend. She got into estate sales when she bought her first house and couldn't work out how anyone her age could afford to fill one with actual furniture— not with furniture from a dorm room clearance. A chance visit to an estate sale in Dupont Circle sorted that out for her – the house had five floors, original hardwood, and barely a thing touched. She was hooked, and estate sales turned into a full-blown obsession. She began sharing what she found on social media, and it turns out she wasn't alone in feeling like estate sales were something of a mystery. People started stopping her in the wild, asking how to find sales, how to navigate them, and how she always seemed to know which ones were worth the trip. So she started sharing! Maddy's not a vintage dealer— she's just someone who genuinely loves the experience of estate sales, walking into a stranger's home and discovering the life lived inside it. DC, it turns out, is an extraordinary place for this and Maddy has visited the estate sales of State Department employees who've furnished embassies around the world to Smithsonian staffers with artifact-adjacent bookshelves. On today's episode, we get into all of it – how to navigate estate sales without making a rookie mistake, the etiquette around negotiating, what's popular right now on the estate sale circuit — and why pricing in this space is, as Maddy puts it, an extremely "hot topic." Let's dive right in. DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [1:27] How Maddy Brannon — DC stand-up comic – became an estate sale obsessive. [6:08] Why D.C. has a particularly great estate sale scene.

Luke 14:25-35

In this Growth Spurt, Dr. Drew Brannon explores a surprising leadership superpower: the ability to step back. While many people feel the urge to jump in, fix problems, and control outcomes, great leaders recognize that sometimes the most powerful choice is restraint. Dr. Brannon challenges listeners to reflect on their instinct to intervene and consider when leaving something alone might allow others to grow, solve problems, and build confidence.

Luke 14:1-10

In this Growth Spurt, Dr. Drew Brannon challenges the idea that delayed gratification is only a struggle for kids. Many adults expect meaningful goals to happen quickly, overlooking the patience, resilience, and consistency real progress requires. Dr. Brannon encourages listeners to assess their plan, commit to the process, and stay accountable along the way. Because the more worthy the goal, the more patience it usually takes to bring it to life.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with M&A expert Brannon Moncrief to break down the current dental consolidation landscape and what it really means for practice owners considering a sale. They discuss why 2025 was a strong year for strategic sellers despite tighter capital markets, how deal structures have evolved from pure HoldCo models to joint venture alignments, and why organic growth now matters more than simply stacking EBITDA.  Brannon shares insights on recap realities, earn-outs versus earn-ups, and why age and runway dramatically impact leverage in negotiations. They also dive into common seller mistakes, the risks of waiting too long in a shifting consolidation cycle, and how to think critically about equity projections and "unicorn" promises. If you're planning an eventual transition—whether next year or a decade from now—this episode offers a pragmatic look at how to prepare and position yourself for the best possible outcome.

#201 - Stop the Hustle: How Doing Less Can 10x Your Success with Brannon Poe, CPA, Author, Founder of Poe Group Advisors & Accounting Practice Academy   Create More Time, Profit & Freedom—Without Burning Out What if the key to greater success wasn't doing more—but finally doing less?   In this episode, I talk with Brannon Poe, a CPA and entrepreneur who's redefining what it means to “have it all.” Brannon helps accounting firm owners build, buy, and sell thriving practices—but the brilliance of his work isn't just in business strategy. It's in teaching high performers how to reclaim time, profit, and freedom without losing their sanity (or their marriages) in the process. We dig into how he discovered the power of margin, mindset, and unplugged vacations—and how every overextended professional can apply these same principles to their own lives. You'll hear: Why busy is the new burnout—and how to stop wearing it like a badge of honor. The deceptively simple mindset shift that separates exhausted achievers from calm high-performers. How a cruise, a laptop ultimatum, and a good wife sparked Brannon's “freedom revolution.” The truth about why stepping away (literally) makes your business—and your brain—work better. The 3-bucket strategy for reclaiming your calendar and your creativity. Why the most successful people he knows are also the most balanced. This conversation will challenge the part of you that thinks you can't slow down. Step in closer: you can—and your work, health, and happiness will thank you.  

In this Growth Spurt, Dr. Drew Brannon tackles one of the biggest performance challenges today: focus. He explains how constant accessibility fuels distraction and pulls us away from what matters most. To do meaningful work, we have to intentionally "starve" distractions and design environments that support concentration. Dr. Brannon shares practical ways to increase drive, improve your surroundings, and be more intentional, giving yourself the best chance to follow through on what truly needs to get done.

In this Growth Spurt, Dr. Drew Brannon explores why high standards are crucial to achieving goals. While people often dedicate time to setting ambitious targets, they often overlook the everyday behaviors they allow or tolerate. Goals can be well designed, but low standards quietly undermine progress. Dr. Brannon explains how the standards you hold yourself and your team to ultimately determine performance, culture, and long-term success.
