Seattle supergroup Who Is She (members of Chastity Belt, Tacocat, and Lisa Prank) were slated last week for a residency performing at the Kraken hockey games at Climate Pledge Arena.

In this week's episode we're using a different approach to analyze the original trilogy in the Star Wars universe; we're discussing our favorite characters' entrances and exits. How does their first appearance on screen compare with their last? Is there symbolism in the cinematography? Does an entrance or an exit play into a larger narrative? Join us as we examine R2D2, C3PO, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo & Chewbacca, Lando, the Emperor, and Yoda through this unusual lens.

This week, in a special bonus episode, Michael Brown, co-founder of an innovative company called Teamshares, explains how he and his co-founders are bringing a fresh approach to a big challenge. Teamshares is buying the businesses of Boomer owners who are ready to retire but, in many cases, struggling to sell. Once the business is bought, Teamshares is turning the employees of those businesses into employee-owners, which is intended to strengthen the businesses while also addressing income inequality. So far, starting in 2020 and flying largely under the radar, Teamshares has already bought more than 60 businesses in more than 40 industries, most ranging between $1 million and $5 million in revenue. Along the way they're learning some intriguing lessons about what it takes to build a business.

Interview with Dean Forbes - hugely successful turnaround tech CEO who has led several companies to massively successful exits. But let's go back in time. Dean experienced hardship growing up and his family were made homeless twice but Dean always had big aspirations. His first goal was to make money doing what he loved which was football and whilst he did get to play for a Premiership, the experience was short-lived and he was soon ushered into a soulless call centre where he honed his sales skills.He then found himself at Primavera – an American software company where he grew the business to its sale to Oracle where he stayed on, making him the youngest vice president at Oracle for 30 years.From there, Dean joined Paris-based KDS a SaaS software company where as CEO, he led it to an acquisition by American Express – their largest tech acquisition at the time.Dean then went on to be CEO at CoreHR - a cloud-based HR solutions provider, where he led its growth and expansion up to acquisition by The Access Group in the UK's largest private to private Human Capital Management M&A deal. Then in 2021, Dean became CEO of Forterro which is home to a portfolio of specialised ERP (enterprise resource planning) software products (think the software that organizations use to manage day-to-day business activities such as accounting, procurement, project management, risk management etc). Having been hired to drive the company's growth in Europe - within a year, he led the business to a 1 BILLION Euro exit!If that wasn't enough, Dean is also the founder of Forbes Family Group where he coaches and mentors young leaders and entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds. Like I said, this is a special episode where we focus on Dean's journey as CEO and how and why he makes the decisions he does in business – all of which have led him to so many hugely successful exits.Enjoy!-----------------Dean on Twitter / Instagram / Forterro / Forbes Family GroupDanielle on Twitter @daniellenewnham and  Instagram @daniellenewnham   / Newsletter

My First Million Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Shaan Puri's takeaways from the San Diego party: storytelling wins, he should leave the house more often, and the life phase a person is in dictates their energy and pursuits Everyone at the party was impressive, but the ones that knew how to tell a story were the ones that stood out and made the most connections The storytelling “sizzle” makes you memorable whereas simply listing facts about yourself or your business does not One or two focused entrepreneurs with no money can do more in six months than a 50-person team at a large organization with millions of dollars, according to Sam ParrThe zero-to-one creative types are probably not working at the big company, and the mid-level managers do not want to take unnecessary risks and fail It is common for a startup's velocity of progress to dramatically slow post-acquisition, which is not always bad on net After selling your startup and joining the company that acquires it, you trade entrepreneurial anxiety for bureaucratic frustrationIt is much easier to launch something as a startup because you are beholden to no oneBig companies have the mindset of an ultra-marathon runner whereas startups have the mindset of a sprinterMistakes made by big companies cost more in terms of money, reputation, and time compared to mistakes made by lean startups The best ideas are things that sound like bad ideas but are actually good ideas, paraphrasing Peter ThielRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEpisode 405: Shaan Puri (@ShaanVP) and Sam Parr (@TheSamParr) talk about what happens when Shaan leaves the house and meets up with other founders, the power of storytelling, the things you learn when you sell a company and how to hire a researcher.

Amazon Exits in 2023 - Roundtable (The Brokers)   Today I am joined by Michal Baumwald Oron, Ben Leonard and Chris Shipferling.   We had a golden run from late 2019 until the beginning of 2022 (exits) when deals across the industry dried up almost overnight. Then in March (2022) we started to see the public layoffs across the aggregators and less money being raised across the board. As the multiples came down, sellers started to focus their energy on growth and now we are starting to see signs of an uptick of deals getting done again.   Today we discuss some of these trends with brokers that get to see everything across the board, not just deals done with aggregators but also private buyers in the market.   Michal Baumwald Oron, CEO, and co-founder of Fortunet, a leading investment banking firm specialising in e-commerce. With 25+ years of experience as an executive manager, investment banker, and commercial lawyer in senior positions at international leading brands, Michal has led major public offerings, including initial public offerings (IPOs) and follow-on offerings, as well as M&A global transactions and joint ventures.   Ben Leonard is the classic millennial entrepreneur. He built a business on a laptop, in a cupboard, in his spare time. The difference? Ben grew an international 7-figure business and successfully exited after 3 years; the business holy grail. Now Ben is doing it all over again, and helping others to do the same with his e-commerce brokerage (EcomBrokers.co.uk) who help sellers sell now, or will mentor you to the perfect exit.   ……………………………………………………………………………….

Well, there was a lot of things that we could have called Part 2 with Chuck Nunn, but overall, this episode really explores nuance and specifics to the job of either Performance, Learning, DJing or Tattooing, that may or may not, be so evident.  Chuck shares all that led him to being a DJ and we hear together, how Chuck came to working on The Apprenticeship Diaries.

“Figure out — What is the business that you want to run? What's the level of involvement that you want to have? Make sure that your business model matches your psychological desire for your involvement with the business.” — Tim Geoffrion This week Sachit (@sachitgupta) chats with Blake La Grange (@blakelagrange) and Tim Geoffrion (@this.walking.life). Tim Geoffrion is an investor, consultant, and an executive leadership coach to small business leaders. Since starting his practice in 2020, Tim has partnered with the founders of over 20 start-ups to work through both the practical and interpersonal challenges of starting and scaling a new business. His work has included helping founders: determine initial equity splits, communicate more effectively with lawyers and bankers, mediate long standing conflicts, part ways with key employees, implement strategic planning processes, create long-term hiring plans, set-up financial tracking systems, negotiate license agreements, and prepare companies to sell themselves or raise venture capital funding. Blake, graduated high school early (16), started a self study through music, theology, real estate, and business. He became a record producer for a decade, then built an online mixing and mastering business which pivoted into the premiere online education business in the music industry. He scaled that business to a point where he was able to sell it. Through that journey, launched other successful offers online using other peoples experiences and expertise. He now works as a "record label" in the company Kollege, by finding underground talent and applying lessons learned from the info-product world to help create offers that help creators get paid to do what they love.

Sean Burke shares his knowledge of building high performance sales teams gained through nine startups, seven exits and billions of dollars in value creation.The first rule, you can only attract the best if you can show a definitive path to hitting quota. If you can't show the math, why would they join your team?Next, you are building a team not a collective of individual contributors. Part of this is defining your role and the role of every part of the company in contributing to the sales team's success.And finally, you need to build metrics around each salesperson to compare and help share best practices across the team. Why is one person's close rate higher or time to close lower?Sean goes on to talk about mentoring and the difficulty of getting people to take the essential first steps. If you follow his advice, you will never have to worry about getting a job or earning a living.And these highlights only scratch the surface of the wisdom Sean shares with us.Highlights:20:52 If you can't share with them the math of how people get to their numbers, why would they ever join your team?23:26 Every single salesperson on my team has those numbers in a customized dashboard.23:37 The sales velocity formula basically tells you, "Am I going to hit my number or not?"24:38 "Joe, here's what your close ratio is. Bill's close ratio is 10% higher. What are you guys doing differently? By the way, why is Jane's time to close 60 days shorter than yours? Why is our time to close existing business longer than new business? It should be shorter."25:31 What does the data know that our sales leaders don't know, and what do our sales leaders know that the data doesn't know, and we can combine those two together to get a much more accurate forecast.26:42 I will coach anybody on my sales team, but very few people will do the things that I ask them in coaching.28:53 I can guarantee you this, anybody who takes the effort to follow my plan will never have to worry about money the rest of their life,29:06 I do deal strategy work and I will sell, my CEO will sell, everybody sells in our organization so the sales team knows that they have an absolute support mechanism.35:44 From the CEO down to the individual customer success representative we define how we're going to work with each customer.About Our Guest:Sean has devoted his career to practicing, testing, learning, measuring, failing, and triumphing in the pursuit of sales & leadership excellence. The knowledge he shares is from doing the work every day. So unlike consultants, influencers, and experts – Sean still has a number to hit and over 2,000 people across the globe who expect him to make the right leadership decisions as well as help them achieve their own life's mission.Connect with Sean here:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanhburke/Website - seanburke.bizTwitter - https://twitter.com/seanburkehQuora - https://www.quora.com/profile/Sean-Burke-12Prometric - www.prometric.comAbout Guest Company:Prometric is a leading provider of technology-enabled testing and assessment solutions.

What better way to start the New Year than to FINALLY spotlight the man behind the podcast, trying ever so much to make this tech-ignorant band of podcast-newbs, sound good... Chuck Nunn?!!!  In this, we'll hear about Chuck's beginnings and how he found himself working and loving, the life of a wedding DJ. This is a really cool chat as Amy tries to draw as many parallels to the world of tattooing to that of a DJ. No matter what Amy's able to comprehend, the point is that Chuck is the kind of guy who follows his passions; He doesn't make excuses as to why he can't, rather, he seeks to walk into the unknown and help his friends along the way.  We loved starting 2023 out with you Chuck (and Jen too).

Nick Bradley, known as 'The Exit Guy,' helps entrepreneurs and investors scale via M&A to create high-value exits. Over the last decade, he has built, bought, and sold 26 businesses with a combined valuation of $5.2 billion. He's been the CEO of 7 different companies, ranging in size from 15 to 400+ employees. Today, Nick shares what he's learned in managing over 100 acquisitions, including the ins and outs of private equity, negotiating exits, and navigating powder-keg boardrooms. We talk about Nick's journey from an 18-year-old fitness trainer to leading a $2.3 billion deal to his eventual decision to quit the world of private equity entirely. You'll also hear about how Nick used ultramarathons to train his mind for the boardroom, how he prepares companies for a sale, and how to sell a business without going through investment banking. Key Takeaways with Nick Bradley The evaluation steps Nick takes when helping founders position and negotiate exits. Nick's 2 requirements for business owners who want to grow and scale quickly. How Nick sells businesses without going through investment banking. Why Nick believes PE firms place too much emphasis on financials when evaluating a company (and the areas they don't consider enough). Strategically tweaking your emotional state to align yourself with the outcome you want. The potential risks PE firms take when replacing the original founder with a scale-up CEO. Nick's equation for driving exponential growth for any business. The 2 types of entrepreneurs Nick sees and where each type excels. The internal dynamics of private equity that led to Nick leaving the industry. The interplay between endurance training and winning in business. How attending all of Tony Robbins' events for a year transformed Nick's way of thinking and gave him the tools to achieve new levels of success.
