Send a textHer Life in Ink, a brand new biography by Sharon Harris about Elizabeth Garver Jordan, provides a good reason to plunder our podcast vault this week to revisit an episode about this star journalist, editor and mystery author. Jordan's riveting coverage of the Lizzie Borden trial for The New York World captivated true-crime junkies of the late 19th-century, and her lengthy career as a journalist, fiction writer and literary editor still resonates today. Lori Harrison-Kahan and Jane Carr, editors of a brand new collection of Garver Jordan's work, join us to discuss her courtroom dispatches, her connection to today's #MeToo movement and how her “invisible labor” shaped the writing of literary giants like Sinclair Lewis and Henry James.

The episode centers on structural changes in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape, with a focus on the increased influence of private equity (PE), platform strategies, and disciplined deal execution. Dave Sobel and Abraham Garver highlight that the primary driver for buyers has shifted from merely acquiring revenue to seeking operating models that support scale, standardization, and automation. Size of institutional funds directly shapes acquisition targets: funds with $500 million or more increasingly pursue MSPs with minimum EBITDA thresholds, commonly $3–5 million, with larger funds only able to transact at the $10–15 million EBITDA level or above. This signals a market separation, where smaller MSPs face heightened risk of being excluded from future platform opportunities.Supporting these structural shifts, Abraham Garver explains that the buyers' value assessment increasingly prioritizes new customer acquisition over one-off gains from cross-sales like cybersecurity add-ons. Organic growth, shown through the consistent addition of new client logos, outweighs temporary revenue boosts in determining valuation. The episode also outlines that AI investment and automation stories are not materially lifting valuations for smaller MSPs, unless directly reflected in improved financials. Larger providers may have the resources to invest meaningfully in AI, but for the majority—especially those below $10 million in revenue—outsourcing or leveraging third-party solutions is more practical than bespoke, high-cost internal development.A further operational risk discussed is the prevalence of "retrading"—buyers renegotiating valuations post–Letter of Intent (LOI) based on due diligence findings. Abraham Garver reveals that 60% of transactions see price reductions after the LOI, often for factors such as recent customer losses or missed forecasts, diverging from initial headline multiples. This reality highlights the importance of diligent contract negotiation, clear documentation, and the value of experienced advisors to navigate buyer tactics. Rob Calvert contributes additional insight on workflow and technology alignment, emphasizing the role of standardized onboarding and offboarding processes in reducing both operational friction and security gaps.For MSPs and IT service providers, the discussion clarifies several critical implications. First, with platform buyers seeking scale, only MSPs meeting explicit EBITDA and growth metrics will attract competitive offers; others should realistically assess the cost and likelihood of reinvention versus sale. Second, buyers' focus on execution and organic growth, not headline multiples or claims of technological advancement, makes robust financial performance and client acquisition strategies essential to preserving value. Third, the commonality of post-LOI repricing underlines the need for rigorous pre-sale diligence, explicit contractual terms, and experienced representation to preserve deal value and protect against downside risk. Lastly, operational standardization—especially in device and data management—remains central to both platform attractiveness and risk mitigation.

#39: In this episode, I sit down with Beth Lundell Garver, Dean of Practice at the Boston Architectural College (BAC), to dig into one of the most common complaints in the industry: “We never learned business in school.”Beth brings a rare perspective. She's not only working inside academia, she's actively redesigning what architecture education looks like. We talk about why most programs still avoid teaching business, how BAC built a work-and-learn model with 800+ students logging real practice hours, and what firm owners can actually do to train young architects instead of blaming schools.This episode bridges two worlds that rarely talk honestly to each other: academia and practice. And Beth has receipts — from BAC's competency-based program (which predates NCARB's AXP) to why firms need to stop hiding their financials if they want better-prepared hires.Connect with Beth on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lundell-garver/ Learn more about BAC: https://the-bac.edu/ Work with Tyler: Send the word “Grow” to hello@growthitect.com ⸻What You'll Learn:(00:41) Why “we didn't learn business in school” isn't the full story(01:20) The problem with assuming one business class would fix everything(02:55) How BAC built a degree model tied directly to real-world work(04:45) The origin of BAC's practice curriculum (and how NCARB borrowed from it)(06:32) Why exposure > memorization when it comes to business education(07:58) The industry's identity crisis: self-actualization vs. job readiness(09:55) Why most architecture schools still prioritize theory over practice(12:15) The real reason firms keep getting grads who lack business skills(14:38) Community design + design-build programs as the “bridge” between school and practice(17:40) Why architects overthink and under-act — and how school trains that mindset(19:12) The transparency problem inside firms (and how it blocks learning)(21:20) Why most young architects don't see how their firm actually makes money(22:48) What firms should do tomorrow to train better business-literate architects(25:05) Why design talent alone won't create the next generation of firm leaders(27:30) How “design” applies to business models, not just drawings(30:18) The #1 mindset shift firm owners must make if they want better teams(33:02) Why many firms still manage people who don't even know project budgets(35:40) Design thinking as a superpower—outside architecture(38:22) How BAC students are already learning business through real projects, not lectures(40:12) How firms can partner with architecture schools (including BAC's remote model)—---AISC RESOURCES→ Learn about sustainable steel: http://aisc.org/sustainable → Get your Sustainability Toolkit: http://aisc.org/buildgreen GROWTHITECT RESOURCES→ Apply to join The Studio - https://growthitect.com/studio → Join thousands of architects on the free Growthitect newsletter - https://growthitect.com/join STAY CONNECTED→ Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylersuomala/ → Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growthitect_com → Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@growthitect
