Podcasts about enterprise value

This episode is essential for veteran entrepreneurs who want to stop chasing bad leads and start building a high-value business ready for a profitable exit.

He shares that the goal is to maximize your company's Enterprise Value (EBITDA)—not just top-line revenue—by clearly defining your product's difference and building documented, transferable sales and marketing processes that any future buyer will pay a premium for.

In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics Podcast, host Don Adeesha is joined by Audrey Neff, Chief Marketing Officer at Aviva Aesthetics, to discuss a critical industry paradox: why, in a booming $25.3 billion market, do so few practices build sustainable, scalable value? Audrey lays out a blueprint for long-term success, arguing that the practices that win will be those who master generational behavior, patient experience, and recurring revenue. She identifies major industry shifts, including the intersection of wellness with functional medicine and the acceleration of private equity consolidation, which is forcing owners to think strategically about their exit from day one. A major focus is on the rise of the millennial consumer, now the largest demographic in aesthetics. Audrey explains that this group values human interaction and experiences above all else, and studies show they will pay more for a provider they trust. This makes "experience-driven marketing" the new invisible engine for growth. She provides actionable strategies for building this trust online, where millennials conduct their research, emphasizing the need to dominate Google Reviews (aiming for "triple digits") and Instagram, a platform used by 83% of millennials to research aesthetic providers. From a business perspective, Audrey advises owners to "begin with the end in mind" and operate "as if it were for sale" from the start. She warns against selling too early out of fear, noting that in a valuation, "culture is everything" because aesthetics is a human-to-human business, a nuance many investors miss. She also identifies a massive "profit leak" in most practices: retail. She urges owners to target 15-20% of gross revenue from retail, up from the common 2-5%, framing it not as being "pushy" but as a critical tool for delivering better clinical results, which in turn creates happier, more loyal patients. Finally, Audrey looks to the future, predicting that as competition increases and treatments become commoditized, differentiation is paramount. She reminds listeners, "competition only exists if you're doing the same thing as everybody else." Her key takeaway for all practitioners is to "put the noise on mute" to ignore the social media drama and "shiny new toys" and instead focus with intensity on what is happening inside their own business, with their own patients, and with their own team.

Today, I'm speaking with Jim Emerich, founder of Backbone CFO, a fractional CFO practice that specializes in supporting construction firms and manufacturers. Jim and I talk about the role data plays in making strong business decisions, and he walks me through a simplified framework he created to help identify key financial issues and constraints that often hold businesses back. The framework focuses on five core areas: cash, profit, people, systems, and position.   Jim shares insights from his work with business owners and explains how financial planning and a clear understanding of enterprise value can shape the growth and scalability of a company. Whether you're running a lifestyle business or working to build long-term enterprise value, this conversation offers practical strategies to move from chaos to clarity and control.   What you'll hear in this episode: [01:50] The Backbone CFO Framework [05:40] Diagnosing Financial Issues [12:55] Case Study: Financial Control Framework in Action [24:00] Understanding the Data Equity Ratio [25:30] Framework for Financial Control [26:25] Managing Inventory and Cash Conversion [27:45] Educating Business Owners on Financial Metrics [29:00] Financial Projections and Growth Planning [34:35] Balancing Tax Savings and Enterprise Value [43:25] Aligning Business Goals with Actions   If you like this episode, check out: How to Build Investor-Ready Financials Your Most Expensive Habit How to Create Enterprise Value for Your Business   Learn more about Backbone CFO: https://backbonecfo.com/   Learn more about our CFO firm and services: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/   Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMlIuZsrllp1Uc_MlhriLvQ Follow along on IG: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/   The information contained in this podcast is intended for educational purposes only and is not individual tax advice.

Orchestration is where AI work meets reality. If it fails, everything slows.I caught up with Luke Lipan, Sales Leader for North America at Kestra, to get the view from the field.Here's the signal:Execs start with risk and reliability. Is it visible. Is it repeatable.Teams love open source to move fast. Scale, support, and ownership tip them to enterprise.Security and governance are not add-ons. They decide the deal.Success is measured in fewer incidents, faster cycles, and cleaner handoffs. Cost is a result, not the target.Consolidation is happening. One platform beats a patchwork when the stakes rise.If you are at Big Data London, meet the Kestra team at Booth N48.#data #ai #bigdataldn2025 #kestra #theravitshow

The Silent Engine of Digital Resilience: Why Developer Experience Is Now a Boardroom PriorityIn the boardrooms of Jakarta, Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul, CIOs are no longer just asking, “How fast can we ship software?” They're asking, “How sustainably can our developers innovate under mounting pressure—from regulators, customers, and competition?”Across Asia, digital transformation has shifted from optional to existential. But the hidden bottleneck isn't infrastructure or cloud spend—it's developer productivity and experience (DevEx). As regulatory landscapes tighten (think Singapore's PDPA amendments, Japan's revised APPI, and Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act enforcement), and as AI-augmented development reshapes workflows, enterprises that treat DevEx as a cost centre are falling behind those that treat it as a strategic asset.In this PodChats for FutureCIO, Toh Soon Seah (Sia), founder and CTO, Netgain, discusses why developer experience is a boardroom priority, and how to turn DevEx into a core enterprise value.What is developer experience (DevEx)?Why is DevEx suddenly a C-suite priority in Asia in 2025–2026?How are tightening data privacy regulations—from Singapore's PDPA to Korea's PIPA—reshaping the way engineering teams build software?What role does cognitive load play in developer productivity, and why are leading Asian enterprises investing in internal developer platforms (IDPs) to reduce it?Can AI-augmented development coexist with regulatory compliance, or does it introduce new risks?How are companies in Asia embedding compliance into the developer workflow—not as a gate, but as guardrails?What measurable business outcomes (beyond speed) are organizations seeing from mature DevEx practices—e.g., talent retention, audit readiness, incident reduction?Why is “developer onboarding time” now a KPI for CIOs in digitally ambitious markets like Vietnam and Indonesia?How do cultural and operational differences between countries in Asia influence DevEx strategies?What are the pitfalls of treating DevEx as an IT initiative rather than an enterprise-wide value driver? Do you see this trend towards use of platforms a positive step in appdev? Looking ahead to 2026, what will separate the digital leaders from the laggards in Asia's competitive tech landscape—code volume, or developer enablement?

Ray also offers coaching questions to help leaders train their teams, align their growth strategy, and build a firm designed for the future.Key TakeawaysStrategic firms focus on those who enhance predictable cash flow and align with long-term goals.Traits like curiosity, respect for process, and ambition signal a high-value client even before assets arrive.Scorecards, life-event triggers, and fee-based onboarding help firms assess clients strategically.When firms define who they're built to serve, growth strategies, referrals, and client experiences improve.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

On this episode of the Positive Enterprise Value Podcast we are joined by Justin Donald an entrepreneur, investor, and author of the Lifestyle Investor. Justin's built a stellar reputation helping other successful founders and entrepreneurs move from being what he calls “time starved operators,” to becoming intentional investors who design their lives around freedom, not just financial returns. You know how I feel about entrepreneurs their freedom and intention. So, this conversation with Justin isn't merely about capital or cash flow, it's about something vastly more valuable. It's about the invisible inflection points. When an entrepreneur wakes up and says, “Holy smokes, there's gotta be a better way to live!” What does success feel like anyway? It's about the psychology of letting go, the courage to slow down, and the quiet discipline required to live life on your own terms. Really. To put your lifestyle first. Do you own your business, or does your business own you? So, if you're someone who spent years building Enterprise Value and you're wondering what it means to build personal value, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, Ray Sclafani challenges advisory firm leaders to adopt a shareholder mindset by asking a powerful question: What's your stock worth? While traditional metrics like AUM, revenue, and profit margins signal a thriving business, they don't fully reflect enterprise value—especially when planning for succession or outside investment.Ray walks through four key metrics that valuation experts use: EBITDA multiples, free cash flow, recurring revenue, and reinvestment strategy, and explains why every billion-dollar RIA should track an implied share price just like a public company. He outlines how creating a simple, annual “financial DNA” slide can drive internal dialogue, next-gen engagement, strategic clarity, and market appeal.To close, Ray offers four coaching questions to help advisors reframe how they lead, grow, and position their firm for long-term value creation.Key TakeawaysEvaluate your firm like a public company.Focus on EBITDA and free cash flow.Recurring revenue enhances valuation.Reinvestment strategies are crucial for growth.Create a financial DNA slide deck annually.Engage next-gen leaders as shareholders.For more information click here to visit the Best in the Business Blog.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

We often talk about strategy, technology, and profit as the engines of success. And in times of rapid change and uncertainty, it's easy to double down on those levers. But what if we're missing the most important one?In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Niren Chaudhary, former CEO of Panera Brands, joins Ashish Kothari to share a leadership philosophy rooted in something many leaders overlook: love and care for people. Because at the end of the day, companies aren't machines, they're human systems.

This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to transform messy wearable data into standardized enterprise gold. My guest is Marco Benitez, CEO of Rook. Marco is a tech entrepreneur on a mission. He's a former Tae Kwon Do champion who transformed his athletic discipline into entrepreneurial success.  At just 22 years old (while still in college), he and his co-founder built a machine learning system for hospitals, which they successfully sold in 2006. This got him involved in clinical research - thereby working for pharmaceutical giants like Roche and Novartis. This is where stumbled across big challenges that were caused by the absence of enough meaningful health data. And this became the founding idea behind ROOK, which he founded in June 2017.  What began as a heart rate monitoring platform in 2018 evolved into a sophisticated B2B platform that now integrates with over 300 wearable devices.  Their vision: to create a healthier world by making health data accessible and meaningful.  And this inspired me, and hence I invited Marco to my podcast. We explore the journey of building a groundbreaking health data platform. Marco tells the story how COVID destroyed their fitness-center business model, and what lessons he learned in the process of pivoting. He shares his insights on enterprise sales cycles, pricing strategy, and team building. Last but not least he explains how he's deliberately portraying the startup's challenges to find the right cultural fit and his mantra of "cut through the noise and keep walking" when it comes to facing tough decisions.  Here's one of his quotes Once you switch your mind, instead of selling a product, you are selling data, and you are really selling a problem, that's when they put your price on you. Because if you are selling a very good solution to their problem, that's when they are will say, ‘This is a no-brainer. I don't care how much you are going to charge to me.' During this interview, you will learn four things: What insights changed their ability to charge premium prices in enterprise deals? What's he's doubling down on successfully to shorten the typically long sales cycles.  Why he emphasizes radical transparency, sharing financials and challenges with potential hires. His secrets to staying persistent and disciplined, even when facing doubts or lack of motivation For more information about the guest from this week: Marco Benitez Website: Rook  Subscribe to the Daily SaaS Reflection Get my free, 1 min daily reflection on shaping a B2B SaaS business no one can ignore.
