Podcasts about exits

David does The News.

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart podcast, Dr. Karen Litzy interviews Pete Moore, founder of Integrity Square, discussing the evolution of the health, active lifestyle, and outdoor sector, known as Halo. They explore the shortcomings of the term 'wellness', the importance of understanding business valuations and KPIs, and the emotional readiness required for business transitions. Pete shares insights on navigating growth, preparing for exits, and the significance of knowing one's competitors and market position. Takeaways The term 'wellness' is outdated and not serving the industry. Understanding your market position is crucial for business success. Local libraries can be valuable resources for business research. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are essential for evaluating business health. Emotional readiness is as important as financial readiness for business transitions. Knowing your competitors helps in strategic planning. Valuations are driven by more than just revenue multipliers. Founders often overlook the importance of mental preparation for exits. Networking and mentorship are vital for entrepreneurial growth. Continuous learning and adaptation are key to success in the Halo sector.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Halo and Wellness 01:49 Navigating Business Growth and Exits 03:22 Understanding Valuations and KPIs 05:54 Emotional Readiness for Business Transitions 06:56 Quickfire Insights for Entrepreneurs More About Pete: Pete is the Founder, Managing Partner and Chief Dream Architect at Integrity Square ("ISQ"), a leading boutique financial advisory firm focused on the $4.7T Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor ("HALO") sector.  Since founding ISQ in 2010, the firm has played an active advisory role in 100+ mergers & acquisitions, private placements and advisory assignments across North America.

In this episode of Poised for Exit, we sit down with Michael Winn, Co-Founder and Partner at Chartered Wealth Partners in Beverly Hills, to discuss why many business exits fail and how outcomes are often determined long before a deal is signed.Michael explains how missed tax strategy, poor advisor sequencing, and a lack of owner readiness can undermine exit results, even when transactions close successfully.  He shares how early, intentional planning, particularly around tax, estate, and entity structure, can significantly improve exit outcomes. The conversation also explores the importance of assembling the right advisory team at the right time, with Michael outlining his role as an exit “quarterback” who helps guide owners through the process. In addition, he addresses the human side of exits, including identity, fulfillment, and preparing for life after the sale.Throughout the episode, Michael emphasizes that successful exits require more than a transaction and are built on a strategy developed well in advance.Connect with Michael Winn here Learn more about Chartered Wealth Partners hereConnect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

In this episode of Thrivecast, host Jason M. Blumer, CPA sits down with Salim Omar, CPA—nationally recognized CPA firm consultant, author, and industry thought leader—to explore how CPA firms are evolving in response to changing demographics, advancing technology, and shifting expectations among firm owners. With more than 30 years of experience in the accounting profession, Salim has worked closely with firm leaders at every stage of growth, helping them rethink their firms, strengthen communication, and plan intentionally for what comes next. Salim shares his journey from building and running a successful CPA firm to focusing on consulting, including his transition to virtual operations and the strategic advantages that come with it. Together, Jason and Salim discuss the real-world benefits and challenges of running a virtual firm, managing global teams, and maintaining strong team dynamics in distributed environments. A central theme throughout the conversation is the importance of understanding your audience—clients, team members, and potential successors—and how that clarity drives smarter decisions and sustainable growth. The discussion also dives deep into the complexities of mergers and acquisitions within the accounting profession. Salim explains why many deals struggle after closing, often due to communication breakdowns, cultural misalignment, and unclear expectations. He highlights the critical role sellers play after an acquisition and why their leadership and engagement are essential to successful transitions and long-term firm health. Drawing from his book, The CPA Firm Exit Playbook, Salim offers practical guidance for firm owners navigating what he calls the “exit evolution path.” Rather than viewing an exit as a single transaction, Jason and Salim explore how firm owners can intentionally design their next chapter—whether that means selling, merging, scaling back, or continuing to contribute in a new capacity. The conversation also touches on leadership beyond traditional retirement and how CPA firm owners can align their professional futures with personal fulfillment. The episode concludes with a forward-looking discussion on the growing impact of AI on the accounting profession. Salim shares why AI is both a powerful opportunity and a necessary adaptation for firm leaders, and how embracing technology thoughtfully can elevate advisory services, improve efficiency, and shape the future of CPA firms.

OpenAI is introducing advertisements into ChatGPT for free and ChatGPT Go users, aiming to fund artificial general intelligence development. These ads will be clearly labeled and separate from AI responses, with OpenAI stating user conversations will remain private and data will not be sold. Ads will be excluded from sensitive topics. Users can avoid ads by upgrading to a paid subscription, such as the new $8/month ChatGPT Go tier, which offers increased limits and access to the latest model but also features advertisements. This move signifies a monetization strategy, with OpenAI reporting significant revenue growth for ChatGPT.The broader impact of AI on jobs is also discussed, with data suggesting job losses attributed to AI may be overstated. While some roles are affected, particularly entry-level positions, the overall employment impact appears limited. Reports indicate that AI is often used as a justification for layoffs driven by economic factors or overhiring, rather than being the sole cause. The analysis highlights that AI's productivity gains are currently modest, requiring substantial increases to drive large-scale job replacement. However, the International Monetary Fund estimates nearly 40% of global jobs are at risk due to AI, with a growing demand for new skills that offer a wage premium.Automation and platform integrations are accelerating, with ConnectWise acquiring ZofIQ to automate service desk operations within its PSA workflow. D&H is expanding its logistics capabilities by acquiring fulfillment.com, enhancing its supply chain services. Microsoft MVPs are collaborating to showcase free Intune management tools to help organizations manage their Intune environments more effectively. These developments indicate a trend towards deeper platform integration and automation within IT service delivery and logistics.For MSPs and IT service providers, these developments highlight several critical considerations. The introduction of ads in AI tools like ChatGPT raises questions about trust and governance, particularly when these tools are integrated into client-facing workflows. The slowdown in hiring, especially for junior roles, underscores the need for strategic talent development to avoid future capacity gaps. Furthermore, the increasing automation within platforms and services, while offering efficiency, necessitates careful management of counterparty risk, clear contractual definitions of authority, and redefined pricing models to account for shifting liability and decision-making. Vendors retreating from emerging technologies like Meta's VR business also underscore the importance of diligent vendor selection and managing the credibility cost associated with adopted technologies. Four things to know today 00:00 Jobless Claims Fall as Small Businesses Pull Back on Hiring, Especially Entry-Level Roles05:45 OpenAI Adds Ads to ChatGPT as It Scales Revenue, Expands Go Tier, and Deepens Enterprise and SMB Adoption09:17 Automation Moves From Tools to Authority as ConnectWise, D&H, and Intune Ecosystems Shift Control—and Risk13:05 Meta's Retreat from Business VR Leaves MSPs Managing Cleanup, Data Deletion, and Client Expectations This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/

San Francisco politics is rarely dull, but 2026 is shaping up to be particularly eventful. Nancy Pelosi, the first and only woman elected U.S. House speaker, has announced her retirement after nearly four decades serving San Francisco in Congress. The race to succeed her is wide-open, though State Senator Scott Wiener and Supervisor Connie Chan have already thrown their hats in.  Meanwhile, Mayor Daniel Lurie starts his second year in office with high approval ratings and ambitious plans to boost housing construction and overhaul the City Charter. He's also still facing fallout from a bungled effort to appoint a supervisor in the city's Sunset District. His first pick, a former pet store owner with no political experience, resigned after allegations over unsanitary conditions and poor management at her small business.  We'll check in with some of the city's top political reporters to talk about Pelosi's legacy, what to expect from the Lurie administration, and how the city will cope with federal cuts and Trump's ongoing crackdown on Democratic cities.

Jason analogizes the relationship between Lamar Jackson and Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti to his favorite characters from the Baltimore-based TV show "The Wire" -- Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell. Like Bell and Barksdale, the Jackson-Bisciotti relationship is starting to fray. In a fascinating, season-ending press conference on Tuesday, Bisciotti described Jackson as "non-confrontational" and playing little role in the direction of the franchise. Bisciotti also made it clear he would be frustrated if Jackson's contract negotiations dragged on past March. Later in the show, Steve Kiim joins the program to discuss Lamar, Mike Tomlin's resignation and Caleb Williams. Also Jay Skapinac joins Jason and Steve to react to Jason analogizing LeBron James and Rich Paul to Tommy and Ghost from the TV show "Power." ​​Today's Sponsors: PreBorn PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

Chris Lopez welcomes Seattle-based investor/author Leka Devatha to unpack how she built from flips to a diversified active/passive portfolio—plus what's actually working in a high-cost, tenant-friendly market. Leka breaks down her first LP deal (why operator selection and interest-rate caps mattered), a 12-unit Seattle value-add that tripled gross rents, and the creative lending + multi-exit playbook behind her new book, Return on Real Estate. She shares a tactical framework for sourcing, underwriting, and operating in micro-markets—and how middle-housing zoning (ADUs, townhomes, duplexes) is shaping her 2026 pipeline. Key Takeaways Operator first: In 2021–22 vintage deals, disciplined sponsors with interest-rate caps, tight PM, and no fee-grab mentality have fared best. Value-add or bust (in HCOL markets): Buy below market due to deferred maintenance; renovate only what's required to hit rent and NOI targets. Operations edge: Strict tenant standards, vigilant expense control, and local PM who understands tenant-friendly statutes are non-negotiable. Creative capital stack: Build a lender bench (conventional, DSCR, hard money) and use tools like short-term cash-out refis with no prepay to bridge seasonality. Micro-market focus: Know the streets, views, and comps; Seattle's middle-housing rules unlock ADUs/townhomes/duplexes on former SF lots. Stack exits: Example—flip the front house, build/condo-map a DADU, keep as a long-term rental, refi to pull cash while holding quality dirt. Active → Passive: If you're newer, learn by placing small LP checks with proven, local operators before scaling your own projects. Next 12–24 months: Fewer “easy” wins, but more mispriced opportunities for operators who can create value and manage tightly.

California just watched $1 trillion in billionaire wealth vanish into thin air—and they're shocked that rich people don't actually love paying confiscatory taxes. Who could have seen this coming? The state's genius move: announce a retroactive 5% wealth tax on billionaires, give them zero time to react, and act surprised when Larry Page, Larry Ellison, and Peter Thiel head for the exits. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom lectures about "fairness" from his $9.2 million mansion while promoting the exact policies driving productive citizens out of the state.Here's what the politicians won't tell you: when billionaires flee, the middle class and working families get stuck with the bill. Washington state is speedrunning the same playbook with their millionaire's tax. Texas and Florida are rolling out the red carpet while blue states tax themselves into oblivion. The U-Haul index doesn't lie—more people are leaving California than any other state.Is taxing your golden geese into extinction really "good for innovation"? How long before the last person turns off the lights in Sacramento?

Achieve profound personal transformation by understanding the power of Seven Exits, a framework for shedding the baggage that keeps you stuck.

She shares her insights on using this self-centered (not selfish) approach to address past trauma and embrace continuous growth, so you can achieve new clarity and inner alignment without waiting for a crisis to force a change.Love the show?

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Alright, let's talk about what's actually going on here, because this isn't one of those “trust me bro” trading sessions.This is what real trading looks like when rules matter and money is on the line. Trades are planned before they're placed. Risk gets reduced before anything new is added. And there's zero pretending that anyone knows what the market is going to do next. Wins can happen. Losses can happen. The only thing that matters is whether the process makes sense and whether it's followed.The whole flow starts with pulling risk off the table. That's not exciting, but it's necessary. Freeing up capital first makes everything else cleaner and calmer. From there, the focus shifts to what actually drives returns. The market comes first. Always. A big chunk of any stock's movement has nothing to do with the company itself, and everything to do with the broader trend.Once the market direction is clear, attention narrows into sectors. Not opinions. Not headlines. Actual data. Fear and greed, breadth, trend structure, and whether money is flowing in or quietly leaking out. If a sector isn't lining up, it's ignored completely. No forcing trades. No convincing yourself something “should” work.Only then do individual stocks even matter. And even there, the bar is high. Liquidity matters. Trend alignment matters. Backtested expectancy matters. If a stock doesn't fit the plan, it gets skipped without a second thought. That discipline is the edge most people never develop.When it comes time to use options, it's done with intention. Position size is decided before clicking anything. Open interest, bid ask spreads, extrinsic value, and delta all get checked so trades can actually be entered and exited without friction. Leverage is used, but it's controlled. Exits are defined upfront so emotions don't get a vote later.Here's the kind of stuff that gets walked through naturally:✅ Why risk reduction always comes before new trades✅ How market trend quietly controls most outcomes✅ Why sector strength matters more than stock stories✅ How fear and greed data helps with timing✅ Why exit rules are more important than entriesThere's also a heavy emphasis on documentation. Every trade gets logged. Prices get marked to market. Reasons for entries and exits are written down. Not because it's fun, but because future you will not remember why a decision was made. This is how patterns show up. This is how mistakes stop repeating.One of the biggest takeaways is how boring good trading actually is. There's no adrenaline chasing. No panic selling. No FOMO buying something because it's moving fast. Trades can lose and still be correct. Trades can win and still be sloppy. The scoreboard is consistency over time, not individual outcomes.If trading has ever felt chaotic, stressful, or emotional, this is what the opposite looks like. Calm execution. Clear rules. No drama. Just a repeatable process designed to stack small edges and let probability do the heavy lifting.That's the whole point.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

They break down the two-phase process: land entitlement (securing approvals for forced appreciation) and horizontal development (infrastructure like roads and utilities for ready-to-build lots). Brandon reveals how to mitigate risks via pre-sold contracts with national builders (e.g., Lennar, D.R. Horton), structure deals with 18% preferred returns and 65% LTC debt, and capitalize on current market freezes. From Tennessee's cyclical opportunities to biohacking for peak performance (cold plunges, green smoothies, sleep optimization), discover why development offers multiple exits and legacy-building potential—perfect for diversifying beyond multifamily amid rising rates.Brandon Cobb is the CEO of HBG Capital, a real estate development and investment firm specializing in single-family residential projects.

In this episode, Travis talks with serial entrepreneur and private equity operator Eddie Wilson, known as the “King of Exits” for owning more than 140 companies and successfully exiting over 100 of them. Eddie breaks down how he went from corporate media to running a 30‑company portfolio, created the Empire Operating System, and co-built the Aspire Tour, the nation's largest business event series.​ On this episode we talk about: How Eddie went from third‑generation real estate kid and corporate TV/radio executive to starting an ad agency, exiting it, and then suddenly helping operate a portfolio of 30+ companies The Foot Locker “measure-the-feet” story, how it inspired his Brick concept, and how extreme focus on one core metric evolved into the Empire Operating System now used across thousands of companies​​ Scaling from 30 to 86 portfolio companies, then selling 76 of them in a single year to ~20 different buyers—while only owning a minority stake and learning how to systematize exits Why he and Andrew Kroeze built Aspire Tour as a front-end community and lead engine for financial services (tax, insurance, wealth) and how they fill arenas with speakers like David Goggins, Gary Vee, and Shark Tank sharks while often losing money on the event itself​ Eddie's deeper “why” behind all of it—his Impact Others nonprofit that feeds and educates ~5,300 kids a day in 100+ countries and runs massive projects like providing Christmas morning for 18,000+ children worldwide​​ Top 3 Takeaways Systems are the only way to scale and exit repeatedly; Eddie's Empire Operating System grew out of real portfolio pain and now focuses each company around a single “brick” metric that drives everything else. Big, sexy front-end plays like Aspire are often loss leaders—what matters is the lifetime value created when you plug those attendees into masterminds, tax strategy, insurance, and other high-value services. Money alone gets boring; tying business growth to a bigger mission—like feeding thousands of kids daily through Impact Others—creates the kind of purpose that keeps you building even after you could retire. Notable Quotes “I realized I could do what I do—but at scale.” “Aspire is really just aggregation. It's the community that lets us serve people with financial services long after the event ends.” “Success without impact left me empty; Impact Others is what keeps me going.” Connect with Eddie Wilson: Personal site & bio: https://officialew.com​ Operating system: https://empireom.com​ Business tour (Aspire): https://aspiretour.com​ Nonprofit: https://impactothers.com  ✖️✖️✖️✖️

It is only a week from the RHOSLC finale and one thing has become very clear to our fav group of snowflakes. Meredith is not alright, or, that is at the very least what Bad Weather would like us all to believe.  Whitney accused, Mary cried and Bronwyn let us know that nine months ago she saw Seth out with a woman in NYC. Can someone say intervention? Oh, and for those keeping track, everyone still dislikes Britani.  In other news, Heather Durbow is leaving RHOC to make room for Vicki. That is, according to Crystal Kung and Mercedes Javid. Vicki stole Dubrow's orange in a move no one saw coming. Last, but not least, Denise Richards has been served and evicted from her rental in which she, along with ex Aaron, are said to owe 84K in back rent. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.
