From grassroots soccer parks to $600 million exits, Marty M. Fahncke reveals why every dollar of EBITDA sacrificed for tax savings costs you seven on a multiple, how the build versus buy decision needs a reality check, and why a business fully prepared to sell is the best business to own. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Marty M. Fahncke, CMAA, who has helped hundreds of businesses scale to over $1 billion in combined revenue and executed nearly $500 million in M&A deals. He is the founder of Westbound Road, an M&A advisory firm specializing in digital businesses in the $5-50 million range, and author of Boomer Sells the Business: A Step-by-Step Guide to Cashing Out and Living Large. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why the build versus buy analysis fails when founders underestimate timelines and costs, and why opportunity cost is often the biggest expense that never appears in spreadsheets. Marty explains how combining marketing expertise with M&A strategy creates advantages most advisors lack, the costly trade-off between profit maximization and tax mitigation that saves twenty cents but costs seven dollars on a multiple, and why operational decisions like CRM selection or staffing structure can kill deals worth millions. You'll also learn how the Who Not How philosophy transforms into a powerful acquisition playbook, why SaaS founders who turned down $50 million in 2021 are accepting those valuations were an anomaly, and how authority marketing through podcasts generates clients who arrive ready to sign without sales conversations. MARTY'S JOURNEY: Marty grew up in the mountains of Utah wanting to be either a forest ranger or join the military. Neither path worked out, and he ended up on the entrepreneur path instead. Even as a teenager, he showed entrepreneurial instincts, selling water purifiers and vacuums and running a bicycle rehab business at age twelve. M&A was completely off his radar until he and some friends started a soccer training product company. They took a truly grassroots approach, setting up canopies at local parks every weekend where kids played soccer. Marty had his children demonstrate the product while he sold to parents. Those park sessions taught them exactly what messaging resonated. Marty used those insights to create a marketing campaign that got the product onto QVC in the United States and Japan. Just eighteen months in, they received an unsolicited $1.5 million offer from a private equity firm buying their proven QVC sales channel. His next deal flipped the approach. Instead of building from scratch, Marty and a partner combined two competing businesses, each doing $1.5-2 million in revenue. By eliminating competition and consolidating operations, they scaled from under $4 million to $30 million in two years. That company eventually became part of a $600 million exit through a reverse merger. After that exit, Marty built a personal portfolio of businesses. In 2019, he focused on M&A full-time. When 2020 hit, he saw opportunity in the chaos. He reached out to companies about selling, and economic uncertainty generated many yes responses. When businesses weren't right for his portfolio, sellers asked if he knew other buyers. He started triangulating deals, brought in partner Becky, and launched Westbound Road in 2020. They focus exclusively on digital businesses between $5 and $50 million, including e-commerce, SaaS, publishing, marketing agencies, and virtual professional services. The firm is intentionally small at five people but highly specialized. THE MARKETER'S EDGE: Marty brings a rare combination of world-class marketing expertise and deep M&A experience. Most advisors excel at one or the other, rarely both. He is a marketer at heart and applies marketing principles to M&A strategy. This matters because organic growth drives valuation multiples. Buyers pay premiums for demonstrated growth momentum, often adding an extra turn or two on exit multiples. Marty sees both sides of the equation, knowing how to build marketing systems that drive organic growth and how to structure deals that accelerate inorganic expansion. KEY INSIGHTS: The build versus buy decision requires brutal honesty. Marty sees unreasonable optimism every time founders analyze whether to build or acquire. His rule: double the timeline, triple the costs. Even then, most analyses miss opportunity cost. What revenue will you lose spending years building? What market share will competitors capture while you're distracted? These costs rarely appear in spreadsheets but are often the most expensive part of the build decision. The Who Not How philosophy becomes an acquisition playbook. When something needs to be done, don't ask how you can learn it yourself. Find someone already better at it and acquire them. Marty applied this when a bookkeeping firm asked for growth help. Instead of consulting fees, he negotiated equity, brought marketing expertise and clients, they tripled revenue, and everyone won when they sold. Profit maximization beats tax mitigation. Every dollar of EBITDA sacrificed to save taxes saves twenty cents but costs seven dollars on a multiple when you sell. When Marty shows clients this math, they immediately shift strategies. This insight often represents millions in additional exit value. Begin with the buyer in mind. Westbound Road identifies upfront who will buy your business and why, then builds the business to suit those buyers. Every decision from CRM selection to staffing structure gets evaluated through one lens: how will this impact deal viability at exit? Minor operational choices can kill deals worth millions. A client built operations entirely on offshore VAs with impressive margins, but many buyers walked away. To command their target multiple, they needed to onshore roles and add W-2 employees. Another business chose a non-standard CRM. An acquirer walked away because integrating it created too much friction. That preference cost millions. The SaaS valuation bubble is being accepted as an anomaly. In 2021-2022, founders got $50 million offers for businesses worth $12 million today. Many refused, expecting the market to stay hot. Marty shows them the charts: the market returned to historical norms, and eighteen months was a bubble. Those founders are finally accepting realistic valuations. Authority marketing creates pre-sold clients. When prospects ask questions, Marty's team sends time-coded podcast links. Prospects listen to full episodes, then more episodes, and arrive ready to sign without sales calls. His first ChatGPT client found Westbound Road via AI recommendation, watched three episodes, and asked where to sign. A business fully prepared to sell is the best business to own. The best practices for creating enterprise value that commands premium multiples are the same practices that make a business pleasurable to operate. Clean financials, reduced owner dependency, autonomous systems, and strategic structure benefit owners whether they sell or not. Perfect for business owners in the $5-50 million range planning exits, entrepreneurs considering M&A advisory relationships, and anyone interested in combining marketing expertise with deal-making to build and sell businesses.

Alexis Sikorsky on Entrepreneurship, Private Equity Exits, and Getting Unstuck at Scale

In this Resilience Unravelled episode, Alexis Sikorsky, a Swiss entrepreneur based in London, recounts building an internet café/ISP in Senegal, fleeing the country with only a suitcase, then returning to Geneva to grow a banking software and internet development business to about $10–11M revenue before the 2008 financial crisis cut 75% of revenue in a day. After years of survival, he rebuilt to breakeven and sold to private equity on an 11x EBITDA deal with 85% cash and 15% earnout, emphasising that PE deals involve uneven information and founders should do diligence on acquirers by speaking to prior CEOs. He discusses why most people shouldn't be entrepreneurs, differentiates “having a job” from owning a company, advises seeking free mentors who've done what you're doing, warns about conflicts with PE-paid advisors and small-company investment banks, explains when to avoid investment unless necessary, and describes his book Cashing Out and his initiative Night Scale to help firms stuck at $5–50M revenue using mission-based, part-time C-level expertise.00:00 Welcome 00:43 From Geneva to Dakkar02:03 Building and Losing It All03:20 Private Equity Exit Playbook06:24 Chairman Life and Retirement09:23 Who Should Be Entrepreneur11:57 Mentors and Real Advice16:14 Due Diligence on Buyers21:30 Investment vs Exit Decisions24:00 Why I Wrote Cashing Out26:05 Night Scale and Growth Plateaus27:49 Social Media Reality Check28:47 Final Thoughts and GoodbyeYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com
