Entrepreneurs spend years hustling to grow their businesses, but too many leave life-changing wealth on the table simply because they don't know the rules of the exit game. In this episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler sits down with private equity expert and author Nick Bradley, who has helped lead more than $5 billion in successful exits, to break down how founders can scale smarter, negotiate better, and prepare themselves emotionally and financially for the biggest moment of their entrepreneurial journey.What You'll Learn• Why founders fail at exits they should win• The real difference between startup founders vs. scale-up builders• How private equity actually works behind closed doors• The two sets of rules in every deal: price vs terms• Why culture and transferable value matter more than you think• How roll-ups and acquisitions multiply valuations quickly• What it means to operate off the buyer's math• How founders can prepare emotionally for losing the CEO hat• Where the biggest growth opportunities are in the next decade Chapters00:00 Welcome to BizNinja & Meet Nick Bradley01:00 Nick's First Business and Early Entrepreneurial Spark03:30 Transition to Corporate and Discovering Private Equity06:00 Why Founders Fear PE and What They Get Wrong09:00 The Emotional Rollercoaster After Selling Your Business11:30 Prize vs Prey: How Buyers Judge Founders14:00 Price vs Terms: The Rules Most Founders Miss17:30 Preparing 12–36 Months Before an Exit19:30 Roll Ups, Arbitrage & Scaling Through Acquisitions23:00 Culture, Vision & Transferable Value in PE Deals26:00 Big Industry Opportunities on the Horizon27:30 Nick's Move to Dubai & Personal Growth28:30 Where to Connect with Nick & Final Takeaways

Ever wonder why a product with steady views still stalls at the checkout page? We walk through a live teardown of a fall pre-K morning work resource and show exactly how to pinpoint whether thumbnails or the preview are killing conversions. Using simple ratios—view to preview and preview to purchase—we turn a fuzzy problem into a clear plan, then apply it step by step with real numbers and an easy framework you can copy for any TPT listing.First, we map the buyer journey and explain why thumbnails only earn curiosity while the preview must close the sale. Then we run the math: a strong 60.6% view-to-preview rate tells us thumbnails are pulling weight, while a 15% preview-to-purchase rate signals the preview is the bottleneck. From there, we outline fixable gaps: too-small page images, vague skill lists, and missing outcome language that leaves buyers guessing. You'll hear how to redesign the preview like a mini sales page—bold benefit headline, zoomed-in pages with readable overlays, clear skills, two to three minutes per day messaging, and a simple list of flexible uses that fit classrooms and home routines.We also show how improving conversions compounds traffic. Lifting preview-to-purchase from 15% to 33% doesn't just double revenue per 200 views; it nudges TPT's algorithm to show your product more often because it earns more per visitor. Finally, we share practical copy swaps, layout tips, and a smart cross-sell move that invites buyers to explore the full themed line so carts grow beyond a single resource. If you've struggled to boost sales without buying ads, this data-first approach will help you focus on the one change that matters most right now.If you found this helpful, follow the show, share it with a fellow TPT seller, and leave a quick review so more educators can discover these tactics.

“Would you plead guilty to a crime you didn't commit—if God told you to?”Most entrepreneurs are taught to fight for what's fair. But what if fairness isn't God's priority—obedience is?In this raw and redemptive episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I pull back the curtain on a defining moment in my journey: being falsely accused of financial fraud, facing an IRS audit, and hearing God say “Sign the paper.” What followed was confusion, heartbreak, and the kind of faith you can't fake.Discover how to discern God's voice when obedience feels like surrender. Learn the real reason delays, detours, and unjust trials may be proof of divine strategy, not punishment.Because sometimes, the most successful people in the kingdom are the ones who said "yes"—when everything inside them screamed "no".If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

AI SUMMARY: Summary: Felix from WAVE.space discusses their innovative Visa debit card, WAVE card, which allows users to spend Bitcoin anywhere Visa is accepted. Launched in February as a virtual card, they're working towards a physical card, facing delays due to partnerships with various entities, including banks and Visa/MasterCard. These partnerships are essential as WAVE.space outsources regulatory licenses to focus on product development. A key hurdle is getting card designs approved by Visa and MasterCard, who are cautious about brand association. WAVE.space is transitioning from Visa to MasterCard for better control over card settings within their platform. The card currently supports euros, with plans to expand to other currencies by partnering with entities in different regions, such as Estonia, to handle regulatory aspects. Users can create an account on the WAVE.space web app, complete KYC verification, and deposit Bitcoin to start using the card. Users can also connect self-custodial wallets via NostriWallet Connect to spend Bitcoin directly. WAVE.space aims to enable users to live on a Bitcoin standard, offering an instant swap feature for buying and selling Bitcoin between wallets and bank accounts. This service is facilitated through a partnership with a virtual assets service provider, which is also applying for MiCA licensing. Felix highlights that the company is using other Bitcoin focused companies to leverage themselves off of. The company charges a 1% fee on conversions, whether buying, selling, or spending Bitcoin. Customer feedback reveals unexpected use cases, including Bitcoin beginners using the card to understand Bitcoin better and buying Bitcoin with euros to spend via the card. Some users leverage the platform for reliable and private Bitcoin sales, as WAVE.space issues IBANs in the user's name, ensuring that transfers to their bank accounts appear as internal transfers, avoiding scrutiny from banks. Felix shares a story of someone in the UK struggling to buy a house after selling Bitcoin and recommends people use WAVE.space in Europe to avoid those issues. Felix says the company has a thousand users and is growing 70-80% each month. The company was bootstrapped by three co-founders and then had investment from angels, one of which was one of the first angel investors in Relay. Felix is looking for investors who understand the goals of the company. There are plans for loyalty and rewards programs, potentially integrating with platforms like Satsback, and expanding partnerships with airlines like EasyJet and accommodation providers like Airbnb. Felix shares that the company has a blog post talking about people shorting Bitcoin without realizing it. The WAVE card lowers people's time preference because it causes them to ask the question, "Is this worth 30,000 sats?" Felix recommends people check out the Telegram group, website, and Twitter account for the latest information. He plans to be at Bitcoin Forum in Bavaria and Lugano's Plan B conference. Felix jokes that if he had one orange pill left, he would give it to Christine Lagarde.
