Korean manufacturer Samsung SDI announced that it acquired General Motors' stake in the SynergyCells joint venture. The collaboration had planned to build a $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery cell factory in New Carlisle, Indiana, with the American automaker holding a 49.99% stake.Samsung SDI attributed the decision to market changes since the joint venture's conception in 2023, including “slower-than-expected growth of EV demand.” The company said it plans to continue building the facility, which would serve as its first independently operated battery production base in North America. The plant is currently under construction, though Samsung SDI did not provide an expected completion date. Once finished, the company now plans to make batteries for energy storage systems. Despite GM's exit from the joint venture, the two companies signed a new agreement to develop a prismatic battery cell for potential future EV applications, with Samsung SDI noting that the Indiana plant could eventually make the cells.General Motors and Samsung SDI formed their original partnership in April 2023 and selected New Carlisle as the plant site two months later. The joint venture intended to make nickel-rich prismatic and cylindrical cells, achieve a capacity of 30 gigawatt-hours, create 1,600 jobs and begin production in 2026. However, in August 2024, the companies delayed the production start to 2027 after construction had begun.GM's decision to sell its stake follows a January 8 SEC filing in which the automaker said it expected to record approximately $6 billion in charges in the fourth quarter of 2025 following its review of EV capacity and investments. The announcement comes as automakers scale back EV plans after the loss of a $7,500 EV federal tax credit last September.#GM, #GeneralMotors, #SamsungSDI, #EV, #ElectricVehicles, #EVBatteries, #BatteryManufacturing, #EnergyStorage, #Manufacturing, #IndianaManufacturing, #Automotive, #BatteryTechnology, #SupplyChain, #IndustrialNews, #ManufacturingNews

Julian Alvarez Meeting Drama? Kenan Yildiz Problem, Multiple Exits Expected - Arsenal Transfer ShowFresh claims of meeting drama surrounding Julián Álvarez, a potential problem in Arsenal's pursuit of Kenan Yıldız, and multiple exits could be on the way as the transfer window enters a crucial period.In today's episode of The Arsenal Transfer Show, Arsenal reporter Tom Canton breaks down the latest reports involving Julián Álvarez and assesses what the supposed meeting developments could mean for Arsenal's interest in the Atlético Madrid forward.We also discuss the situation surrounding Juventus star Kenan Yıldız, why a potential deal presents Arsenal with a major problem, and whether Andrea Berta will need to explore alternative attacking targets.Plus, several Arsenal players could be heading for the exit before the window closes as the club looks to reshape Mikel Arteta's squad and create space for further additions.

Host Colleen O'Connell-Campbell sits down with fellow Certified Exit Planning Advisor and Board Member of Employee Ownership Canada. Peter Walker - a proud Prince Edward Islander whose eighth-generation family farm shaped everything he believes about ownership, community, and legacy. Peter shares the story of the first business transition conversation he ever had (at 14, at the kitchen table, with his father) and how the eventual wind-down of the family farm rippled through his small community. The episode also marks a milestone for Canadian succession planning: the federal government has made the EOT capital gains exemption permanent, removing the sunset clause that had left owners and advisors uncertain. Peter and Colleen unpack why so many Canadian business owners - especially in rural and Atlantic Canada - avoid succession planning, the access-to-capital challenges outside major cities, the research behind employee ownership's financial and social benefits, and the single most important piece of internal due diligence a founder can do: knowing their own story before someone else writes it for them.   Key Takeaways: The EOT capital gains exemption is now permanent - and it's law. After years as a temporary measure set to expire at the end of 2026, the federal government moved in its spring economic update to make the up-to-$10 million capital gains exemption on qualifying sales to an Employee Ownership Trust permanent. That change has since passed into law (Bill C-30, Royal Assent June 18, 2026), removing the previous sunset clause and giving owners and advisors long-term certainty to plan around the structure. Peter, a board member of Employee Ownership Canada, was involved in the advocacy toward this outcome.   Peter's roots run deep in St. George, PEI (population 90), on a potato and cattle farm in his family since the 1790s - he would have been the eighth or ninth generation. His father sat him and his brother down when Peter was 14 to tell them they would not be taking over the farm. His father operated another 10 years, wound it down in a way that kept the land in the family (now approaching 300 years), but the closure cost about 15 neighbours their seasonal work, local businesses a customer, and the community a piece of its tax base.   Peter frames this as his third act - after Parliament Hill and a career at one of the big five banks. His work now has two halves: helping normalize the transition conversation for business owners, and advocating to grow employee ownership in Canada.   Two structural problems he sees, especially outside major cities: first, access to capital is severely limited - in his experience, capital does not flow easily east of Montreal or into rural regions. Second, the emotional, identity-driven avoidance of succession planning. Owners who strongly identify with being an owner resist planning for a day they can no longer be one, pushing it off until a crisis (death, divorce, disability) forces a rushed outcome.   A recurring insight: many owners can build a long-term strategic roadmap for their business in their sleep, but have never been taught to build one for themselves. The internal due diligence - deciding what you actually want your outcome and legacy to be - is the work most people skip.   The research behind employee ownership (five decades in the U.S., over a decade in the U.K.) is compelling: 8-12% productivity increases, more profitable and resilient companies, loans repaid faster, fewer closures in downturns, and employees retiring with roughly twice the retirement wealth of those at comparable non-employee-owned firms.   Employee ownership is a spectrum, not one thing: worker co-ops (fully democratic, one member/one vote), management buyouts, Employee Ownership Trusts (designed specifically as a transition vehicle), and Employee Share Ownership Plans. EllisDon - one of Canada's largest construction companies - is 100% owned by the people who work there.   Peter's framework for owners: stress-test your thinking across two axes - how much you care about the money, and how much you care about legacy. Conventional wisdom says maximize money and ignore legacy, but Canadian Federation of Independent Business research shows most owners feel genuine internal conflict between the two. If you land in the "maximize value, legacy doesn't matter" quadrant, you have earned the right to sell to a third party - go for it. If legacy matters, then employee ownership, ETA, family transition, or a mix deserve real consideration.   Start early - much earlier than most people think. Peter's father was 38 when he had that kitchen-table conversation, wrestling with 200 years of legacy. Most owners wait until they have decided to sell, which Peter considers far too late; the preparation should begin three to five years prior, at minimum.   A cash-rich exit is not only about maximizing the dollar value - it is about being intentional about what happens next for you, your business, your people, and your community. For many Canadian owners, especially in rural communities, the real opportunity is to begin planning early enough to create options that preserve local jobs and legacy - and, now that the exemption is permanent, to give employee ownership a serious look.

Allen covers a judge lifting the Pentagon’s wind freeze, RWE’s $1.22B US offshore exit, and TotalEnergies buying Shell’s European renewables.

And subscribe to Rosemary’s “Engineering with Rosie” YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Good Monday everyone. You know … there is an old saying. When one door closes … another one opens. Well this week in wind energy … a whole lot of doors were swinging. Let us start in Washington. For months … the Pentagon had quietly stopped reviewing wind energy project applications. More than a hundred and fifty onshore wind projects … stuck in limbo. The Defense Department claimed that drones in Ukraine had changed the game. Wind turbines … they said … could blind radar to incoming threats. So they hit the brakes. But on Thursday … a federal judge said … not so fast. Judge Karin Immergut … a Trump appointee no less … issued a preliminary injunction. Resume the reviews … she ordered. Follow the law Congress wrote. The law gives the Pentagon seventy-five days for a preliminary review. As of late July … not a single one had been completed since the halt began in May. When government lawyers were asked to name one project they had reviewed … they could not name a single one. The judge told them plainly. If you want to change the rules … go ask Congress. Now … while one arm of the government was being told to do its job … another arm was writing checks. German energy giant RWE … handed back its American offshore wind leases. New York. California. Louisiana. In return … the U.S. Department of the Interior cut RWE a check for one-point-two-two billion dollars. RWE is the fifth developer to walk away from American offshore wind under this administration. The company had spent more than a billion dollars on those leases. Years of planning. Investment. Partnership with federal agencies. But RWE said there is simply no path forward to permit these projects … for the foreseeable future. So where does the $1.22B go? Nine hundred million dollars into Louisiana LNG. Three hundred million into natural gas turbine reservations. Fifteen gas peaking projects across the country. A company that came to America to build wind farms … is now building gas plants instead. But here is the thing about RWE. They are not leaving the wind business. They are leaving American offshore wind. Globally … RWE operates eighteen offshore wind farms. Four more under construction. And nearly seven gigawatts secured in the United Kingdom’s latest auction. America said no. The rest of the world said … come on in. And speaking of Europe … TotalEnergies … the French oil major … just bought Shell’s entire onshore renewables business in Europe. Four gigawatts of solar and wind. Five hundred megawatts already running or under construction in Italy and the Netherlands. Three-and-a-half gigawatts more in the pipeline across Italy … the United Kingdom … and Spain. And in the same breath … TotalEnergies sold a fifty percent stake in a one-point-two gigawatt European portfolio to KKR … for an enterprise value of one-point-eight billion euros. Build it. Sell half. Keep operating it. That is the model. Now let us fly east … to India. GE Vernova just landed a hundred-and-sixty-three megawatt wind order from American developer Enfinity Global. Forty-three turbines. Three-point-eight megawatts each. Headed for the Fatehgarh wind farm in Rajasthan. Deliveries start late this year. And those turbines will be built at GE Vernova’s factory in Pune … which can turn out fifteen hundred megawatts a year. India is pushing for five hundred gigawatts of renewable energy. Meanwhile … up in Denmark … a Danish wind tower maker named Welcon is raising its voice. Swedish utility Vattenfall just won two offshore wind tenders in Denmark. But when asked whether they would use European-made turbines … Vattenfall would not say. Welcon’s chief executive Jens Risvig Pedersen said … and I quote … “It would be completely absurd not to buy European products for the two new Danish offshore wind farms. That would simply shut down the European industry.” The Danish trade union Dansk Metal agreed. Chinese turbines … they said … should not be financed with Danish taxpayer money. Vattenfall says it has not decided yet. But the debate is on. And finally … a milestone that happened so quietly … nobody noticed. The world just crossed three terawatts of installed solar power. It took ten years to build the first terawatt. Less than three years for the second. And not even two more years for the third. Seventy-four countries now have at least one gigawatt of solar installed. That is up from forty-two in twenty-twenty. BloombergNEF expects nine terawatts by twenty thirty-six. But here is the catch. Without batteries … solar hits a ceiling. Places like Australia and California already have so much solar that electricity prices go negative during the day. You heard that right. They pay people to use power. The answer is battery storage. But batteries are not able to keep up with the pace of solar. Now … if you step back from all of this … something interesting emerges. Nobody in these stories is arguing about whether wind works. Not the judge in Oregon. Not RWE. Not even the Pentagon. The debate has moved on. The question is no longer … can you build a wind farm. The question is … who gets to decide where one goes. Think about that. A federal judge did not rule that wind turbines are safe or good or necessary. She ruled that the government cannot ignore its own laws. The science was not on trial. The process was. RWE did not surrender its leases because offshore wind failed. It surrendered them because one government made permitting impossible … while eighteen other wind farms in its global portfolio kept spinning. And TotalEnergies did not buy four gigawatts of European renewables out of charity. It bought them because Shell … an oil company … decided those assets no longer fit its strategy. One oil major’s exit is another’s entrance. The assets did not lose value. They changed hands. That is the story underneath all these headlines. Wind energy has crossed a threshold that most industries never reach. It is no longer competing on technology. It is competing on governance. The turbines work. The economics work. The engineering works. What varies … country by country … is whether the rules of the road are clear enough for capital to show up. And capital … as we saw this week … will always find the door that is open. That is the state of the wind industry for the 10th of August … twenty twenty-six. Join us for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast tomorrow.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a major safety recall affecting nearly six thousand brand-new Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks. PACCAR is pulling model year 2027 vehicles due to a critical defect in the power distribution center that could cause drivers to lose engine power, antilock brakes, or windshield wipers without any dashboard warning. The problem originated from contaminated soldering at a supplier facility, though PACCAR estimates only 0.3 percent of recalled trucks actually have the defect. Meanwhile, a sophisticated fraud operation is targeting heavy-duty trucking suppliers across Western Canada as twelve businesses shipped truck tires, engine oil, and trailer parts on fraudulent credit card orders that initially appeared legitimate. Saskatchewan RCMP launched an investigation in March after companies across the province discovered that approved transactions ultimately failed, with callers having provided credit card details that prompted shipments before the payments declined. Finally, we cover a massive workforce reduction in Ohio as International Motors lays off 1,341 employees following the sale of its Springfield facilities to Canadian manufacturer Roshel. The sale is expected to close October 2nd, effectively ending the facility's contract manufacturing agreement with a major automotive company and paving the way for Roshel to transform the sprawling campus into a U.S.-based production hub for commercial, specialty, and armored vehicles.

What are the five ways ecommerce owners actually get paid? Sean Frank (CEO, Ridge), Matt Bertulli (CEO, Pela Case & Lomi), Mike Beckham (CEO, Simple Modern), and Curtis Mastko (CEO, Portland Leather Goods) break down five real ways ecommerce operators get paid. Each path trades speed for risk, and none of them is easy money. Valuation sets the ceiling, and buyers lean on EBITDA multiples to get there. Distributions are where most operators get paid, if they resist reinvesting too much. Debt speeds that timeline up, though it comes loaded with risk. The episode ends on salary, pitting one founder's restraint against another's ambition. Powered ByFulfilhttps://9ops.co/fulfil Richpanelhttps://9ops.co/richpanelNorthbeamhttps://www.northbeam.io/Saras Analyticshttps://bit.ly/9OP-YtdescPostscripthttps://9ops.co/postscriptAftersellhttps://9ops.co/4i3bb5Operators Newsletterhttps://9operators.com/

Brent Gunning and Sam McKee open this morning's show with a recap of the Blue Jays' 7-2 loss to the Astros. They focus on Trey Yesavage's early exit with a knee injury, what it could mean for the team's rotation, and the job done by the bullpen to keep the game within reach. They also discuss Max Scherzer keeping his spot in the rotation, the Blue Jays' continued offensive struggles after scoring just two runs, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s prolonged slump. After the break, the conversation shifts to LIV Golf, Bryson DeChambeau's leadership role, whether LIV remains a viable alternative to the PGA Tour, John Rahm's contract, and where his career could rank among the sport's biggest "what ifs."

This week, we're being asked to be with the reality of our lives, as an act of devotion and love. How can we soften our gaze around what we see? What happens when we become aware of how we're looking at something, and how might that awareness increase our ability to be with it differently? Ask the question, go inward, and let yourself be with what comes up. This week-ahead reading for Aug 3-9, 2026 is an excerpt from this week's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Somatic Space class⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Renee Sills.

Amy Phillips and Emily Dorezas catch up at the start of August, share quick Bravo “dish,” and then recap the Real Housewives of Atlanta season finale. They celebrate Frank Catania Jr. marrying Nicole in Portugal and speculate whether any Bravo cameras might capture it, discuss rumors that the McBee family may step back from their show, and note Next Gen NYC's reunion seating chart (with Ariana and Charlie near Andy). They mention a claim that Scheana tried to join Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, plus news that Whitney and Farrah Richards are pregnant and a Charleston Fan Fest lineup. In the RHOA finale, they talk Angela Oakley's “Fangie” venture and her reconciliation scene, Shamea and Gerald expecting a third child via surrogate, Porsha's relationship timing with Sway, Kelly's legal win with Phaedra and her ex's incarceration, Pinky's bankruptcy update, and why Drew's K. Michelle DM drama felt like a forced swan song, ending with hopes for a strong three-part reunion.Download Cash App today and open a managed account for your child.Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/rw17ojho #CashAppPod.For a limited time, new Cash App customers who are parents can use our exclusive referral code FAMILY10 to earn $10.

What happens when getting fired turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to you? For Ramon Ray, it was the spark that launched an entrepreneurial journey most people only dream about.Ramon spent years working a stable job at the United Nations, juggling two young kids and a growing family — until he was let go for being too entrepreneurial. Instead of seeing it as a setback, he took it as a sign. Since then, he's built five businesses, successfully sold three of them, authored five books (including his latest, The Celebrity CEO), and become a go-to voice for small business owners looking to grow without losing themselves in the process.In this episode, Ramon joins us to talk about what it really takes to build a business from scratch — the mindset shifts, the hard lessons, and the proven strategies that separate businesses that survive from those that thrive. We dig into how he balances aggressive growth with actually enjoying life, why simplicity beats complexity when it comes to strategy, and what he's learned from being featured in outlets like Forbes and hosting his own show, The Rundown with Ramon, on the USA Today Network.Whether you're just starting out or already deep in the entrepreneurial grind, Ramon's insights on consistency, team-building, and giving back will leave you with practical takeaways you can apply right away.Tune in for a conversation packed with real talk, hard-won wisdom, and the kind of encouragement every founder needs to hear.Connect with Ramon Ray: ramonray.com | @ramonrayGet your copy of Rick Segal's book, The Heart of It here: https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/business-and-finance/entrepreneurship/the-heart-of-it/Read Rick Segal's blog: https://impactinvestorsegal.com/blog

What does an old wallpaper mill, a Swiss banknote plant, and a pair of glaucoma-detecting glasses have in common? And why does a man who has built more than 30 companies say founders should stop trying to invent anything at all? What you'll discover today… (00:00) The golf-ball hustle that started it all, and the parental support behind it. (08:57) The contrarian bet that built Fortress. (13:36) Inside the pressure of a distressed-asset turnaround. (17:12) Running multiple companies solo, wired differently. (21:30) Why a 30-company track record doesn't guarantee a check. (22:40) The throughline from uranium to glaucoma glasses. (25:43) iGuardian and building versus buying. (28:37) What investors listen for — and why solo founders struggle. (32:35) Coachability, discipline, and humility. (36:35) De-risking deep tech with grants and digital twins. (42:51) Legacy, what still excites him, and rapid-fire wisdom. More about the episode Chad Wasilenkoff is not a typical founder. He started selling golf balls at eight years old, was buying and selling video games, BMX bikes and cars by his teens, and has gone on to found close to 30 companies across forestry, mining, advanced materials, chemical recycling and medical devices. He doesn't consider himself an inventor — he's an investor who operates the business himself and looks for the exit. His playbook is finding value where nobody else is looking. He turned a near-worthless forestry mill into Fortress and sold it for $210 million. He bought a Swiss banknote mill for a fraction of its worth and unlocked tens of millions in hidden land and inventory value. He spotted a coming uranium shortage most investors ignored. That same instinct now drives iGuardian, glasses designed to detect glaucoma at home, and a chemical catalyst company tackling plastic recycling at scale. For founders and investors in hard tech or deep tech, this conversation is a masterclass in contrarian thinking — what investors listen for in a pitch, why solo founders face a harder road, and why buying a great idea can beat inventing one.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Mark Thompson Hour 2 (7.27) Mark’s getting married in a few days and just returned from a special trip with the love of his life, Courtney, to England and her ancestral homeland of Croatia, where her family history stretches back 500 years. Courtney jumps on the phone to share highlights, including seeing her favorite artist Ludovico Einaudi perform for the 30th time and catching the London theater production “1536” about Henry VIII and the beheaded Anne Boleyn. Swedish pop-rock duo Roxette has canceled their entire US tour, blaming expenses and logistics — though soft ticket sales may have played a role. Mark recently caught a downtown LA band whose singer sounded exactly like Taylor Dayne — only to discover the whole group, including the vocalist, were men in drag performing under the name Transatlantic. In sadder news, iconic “You’re So Vain” singer Carly Simon, 83, is battling both cancer and Parkinson’s disease. The daughter of a Simon & Schuster founder and an activist mother grew up in the Bronx and has become increasingly reclusive as her health declined. And one year after Dolly Parton lost her husband of 60 years, Carl Dean, her brother Coy “Denver” Parton has died at 82. With 12 siblings in the Parton household, it’s no wonder Dolly never had kids of her own. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Business growth should not depend on luck, assumptions, or the latest trend. In this episode of The Beacon Way Podcast, Adrienne Wilkerson sits down with Hugo van den Biggelaar, CEO of The Bitsing Company USA, to explore a proven methodology for making clearer, more intentional growth decisions. Hugo spent more than eight years at Nike, working across finance, insights, loyalty, digital marketing, and brand strategy before moving into entrepreneurship. Today, he is helping bring the Bitsing methodology from Europe to the United States.  Bitsing is a business growth framework developed over more than 30 years and used by more than 1,000 organizations. It brings finance, strategy, positioning, marketing, and sales together in one structured plan designed to help leaders focus on the actions most likely to produce measurable growth.  In this conversation, Hugo explains why business owners should stop relying solely on gut feeling, how to identify where growth is already proven, and why the strongest brands give people an emotional reason to choose them. Adrienne and Hugo also discuss the challenges that businesses face at every size, from small entrepreneurial teams to global organizations, and how leaders can turn scattered ideas into a practical roadmap. In This Episode -Hugo's journey from Nike to entrepreneurship  -How the Bitsing methodology was developed  -Why every business needs a clear growth roadmap  -The difference between a financial goal and a strategy  -How to use revenue data to decide where to invest  -Why businesses often overlook what is already working  -How to balance current revenue with new growth opportunities  -Preparing a business to scale, sell, or exit  -Why rational selling points are easy for competitors to copy  -How emotional positioning creates brand preference  -Three practical steps toward more intentional growth  Key Takeaways -Set financial goals first. Brand awareness, website traffic, and sales conversions can support growth, but they are strategies rather than the final business goal. -Follow the evidence. Your existing revenue data can help show which services, products, audiences, and markets deserve more of your time and budget. -Create preference, not just a reason to buy. Price, speed, and features can all be copied. A strong brand gives people an emotional and distinctive reason to choose you. Chapters:00:00 Introduction 00:36 Hugo's Journey from Amsterdam to Nike and New York 02:48 Leaving Nike and Taking the Leap into Entrepreneurship 05:59 Bringing the Bitsing Methodology to the United States 06:54 How the Bitsing Growth Method Was Developed 09:34 The Seven Principles Behind the Framework 10:19 Building a Business Growth Roadmap 11:47 Why There Is No Secret Shortcut to Growth 12:36 Knowing When to Hire, Expand, or Stay Focused 15:18 Replacing Gut Feeling with Business Data 15:47 The Pencil Methodology Explained 16:46 Deciding Where to Invest Time and Marketing Budget 18:14 Growth Strategies for Scaling, Turnarounds, and Exits 19:48 Why Businesses of Every Size Face Similar Problems 22:32 Three Steps Toward Intentional Growth 23:06 Set Financial Goals Before Choosing Strategies 24:37 Let the Data Guide Your Decisions 25:03 The Three Brand Challenges Businesses Must Solve 26:24 Why Creating Preference Matters Most 26:51 Finding an Emotional Advantage Competitors Cannot Copy 28:03 Why B2B Marketing Is Still Human 28:51 How to Connect with Hugo 30:06 Closing  Connect with Hugo van den Biggelaar:Bitsing Website https://bitsing.com Email hugo@bitsing.com LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugovandenbiggelaar/  Learn More About Bitsing The Bitsing Company https://bitsing.com About the Bitsing method https://bitsing.com/about Books https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Laws-Guaranteed-Growth-Management/dp/906369413X

Seven years ago, Sahar Saleem was the first-ever guest on Immigrantly, talking about her creative marketing career at PepsiCo. She's back, and everything has changed. In this episode, we talk about leaving a corporate "dream job," breaking into screenwriting in LA right as the writers' strike hit, the quiet blacklisting of pro-Palestinian voices in Hollywood, and her pilot Cash, about a Pakistani American memory archeologist. Then, the unexpected turn: somatic therapy, epigenetics, and how trauma lives in the body across generations. Sahar now leads Soma Sahar, a healing practice weaving somatic embodiment, ancestral reflection, and creative ritual. A conversation about privilege, purpose, and coming home to yourself.

Want a quick estimate of how much your business is worth? With our free valuation calculator, answer a few questions about your business, and you'll get an immediate estimate of the value of your business. You might be surprised by how much you can get for it: https://flippa.com/exit What makes a business truly valuable to a buyer, and how do you know when it is actually time to sell? In this episode of The Exit, Steve McGarry sits down with Mike Krupit, founder and CEO of Trajectify, to unpack the leadership decisions that can make or break an exit. Drawing on a career that includes eight startups, three IPOs, an exit, and four failures, Mike explains why founders who remain at the center of everything can become a liability to their own business. He shares how putting the right people in the right seats, documenting critical processes, building strong systems, and delegating real authority can create a healthier and more valuable company.

 Mike also explores why the best time to sell is often when the business is performing well but approaching its next major plateau, and why founders need to prepare for what happens after the transaction before signing the deal. Steve and Mike discuss preserving company culture through an acquisition or IPO, communicating with employees when an exit process must remain confidential, evaluating leadership teams from the buy side, and avoiding the culture shock that can follow a major transaction. Whether you are actively preparing to sell or simply want to build a business that can thrive without you, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for creating a stronger, more transferable company.
 Mike Krupit is the founder and CEO of Trajectify, where he advises entrepreneurs, executives, and leadership teams on business growth, organizational development, and major transitions. A veteran of eight startups, Mike has held roles ranging from CTO to COO to CEO and has experienced three IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, and business failures throughout his career. Since founding Trajectify in 2013, he has focused on helping growth stage companies strengthen their leadership, align their people and processes, and successfully navigate the next stage of growth or an exit.

If you've owned a business for any length of time, you've probably told yourself some version of this: I'll deal with succession as soon as I solve whatever crisis my business is confronting right now. The problem, of course, is that there's always another crisis to solve or opportunity to pursue, and time has a way of passing.Jay Goltz has spent decades building a collection of successful businesses in Chicago. He knows he needs a succession plan. He knows that if something happened to him tomorrow, there'd be chaos. And he'd very much like to leave the business in the hands of the employees who helped build it. Over the years, he's considered the usual options—selling to a bigger company, to a few key employees, to an ESOP, even to an Employee Ownership Trust. But every option comes with compromises. And so, year after year, it's been easier to focus on challenges that seem more urgent—until this past April, when Jay turned 70. "I realized," he says, "I can't kick this down the road much further."This week, Jay sits down with David C. Barnett and Mel Gravely for an unusually candid conversation about what makes succession planning so difficult—even when you understand how important it is. Jay explains why he has no interest in selling, why money isn't really the issue, and why he still loves going to work every day. Mel, meanwhile, offers some tough love, suggesting that if protecting Jay's family and employees really are his priorities, then something else must be holding him back.Mel also shares an unexpected twist in his own succession journey. After stepping away from the CEO role two and a half years ago to become executive chairman, Mel found himself pulled back into operations this spring—a reminder that even well-designed succession plans don't always unfold as expected. And along the way, David offers a blunt explanation for why many aging business owners overestimate what their companies are actually worth. The episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Bank.

Sexual Assault Allegation A former partner, Jenny Racicot, accused Platner of entering her home while intoxicated and forcing himself on her despite her objections. The allegation is being reported by Politico. Platner is said to have denied the accusation and described it as false and politically motivated. Previous Controversies Earlier controversies involving Platner, include allegations regarding his behavior toward women and claims regarding a tattoo associated with Nazi symbolism. The document argues that these warning signs were overlooked by Democratic leaders and supporters. Democratic Party Response Democratic officials who initially supported Platner are now withdrawing endorsements after the latest allegation became public. The speaker argues that party leaders acted out of political self-interest rather than principle. Claims of Double Standards Democrats apply different standards to members of their own party than to Republicans. The document claims that party leaders and some media organizations ignored earlier concerns until the candidate became a political liability. Election Strategy Maine election rules and the timing of calls for Platner to withdraw is linked to the party's ability to replace him before a deadline. This is a strategic political calculation rather than a response based on ethical concerns. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
