From ten years of entrepreneurial struggles to PE exit in three years, Josh Davis shares proven strategies for scaling through acquisitions, building proprietary systems, and navigating the identity shift that follows a successful exit. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Josh Davis, CEO of JL Davis Enterprises, a five-time founder, business acquirer, and turnaround expert with multiple exits including to a US private equity-backed firm. Josh built one of Canada's fastest-growing logistics startups alongside his wife Loretta, scaling it from the ground up before it was acquired by one of North America's largest transportation companies just three years after launch. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover how to scale a company through strategic acquisitions without outside capital, why building proprietary software became a major competitive advantage, and what the post-sale transition really feels like when you stay on as CEO. Josh shares the visionary and integrator partnership dynamic that creates breakthrough results, why most post-exit entrepreneurs struggle with minority investments, and what freedom means when you deliberately keep your family office smaller than outside investors want. JOSH'S JOURNEY: Josh's entrepreneurial drive started early watching both grandfathers build successful businesses. On his mother's side, his grandfather ran a construction company, warehouse business, and real estate ventures. On his father's side, his grandfather was a successful mining entrepreneur who became Josh's closest mentor. But Josh also saw his parents go through financial struggles and divorce, which made him view entrepreneurship as the path to stability rather than risk. In his early twenties, Josh dropped out of business school when his grandfather became sick with cancer. He spent two years learning about business and understanding how to acquire distressed mining properties. After his grandfather passed, Josh got exposure to acquisitions, due diligence, and integration through his grandfather's connections. But for the first ten years, he didn't understand the real importance of building teams, building systems, and building a real company. THE TURNING POINT: At twenty-eight, Josh made a deliberate decision to actually learn how to be an entrepreneur. He read every business book he could find, connected with mentors, and joined a private peer advisory group with seasoned entrepreneurs in their sixties, seventies, and eighties. That group has been a game-changer for thirteen years. A few years later, he married his wife Loretta. Their skills were completely opposite. Josh was the visionary with strengths in leadership and sales. Loretta brought systems, processes, and operational excellence from her commerce degree at one of Canada's top universities. The combination created the breakthrough. BUILDING THE LOGISTICS COMPANY: When Josh and Loretta launched their logistics company, they realized the Canadian transportation industry was old school with manual processes and paper systems. They couldn't find software that fit their needs, so they hired four developers and built their own. After eight months, they launched custom software that tracked gross profit per head, enabled profit-sharing structures, and attracted top talent. The second key was acquisitions. They bootstrapped with bank debt and systematically acquired distressed transportation and warehousing businesses, bringing in their own software, systems, and team members. After developing their operating system for acquisitions, each deal got easier. THE PE EXIT: The conversation about selling started when Loretta raised it. She was pregnant with their first child and knew she didn't want to run operations in a 24/7 transportation logistics business. They had also hit a capital constraint since the low-margin business required more capital every time they grew. They engaged an M&A advisor and found a well-capitalized US private equity-backed firm with Canadian roots in North American transportation. POST-SALE TRANSITION: Josh describes post-exit life as giving a child up for adoption and living in the same house. He stayed on as CEO for two years, and having financial backing from the larger entity was a huge relief. But when the transition ended, his partners were gone, his wife had been out for two years, and the company had become more corporate. The day he told the team was emotional, and when his email was finally turned off, the quiet was striking. KEY INSIGHTS: Josh's original plan post-exit was to take small equity positions and sit on boards. What he found was that he actually likes getting his hands dirty, and working with founders who weren't ready for the advice proved challenging. Some founders would realize they didn't want to do the work and would ask Josh to buy them out instead. That misalignment led JL Davis Enterprises to pivot toward full acquisitions while being highly selective about minority investments. FREEDOM AND FAMILY OFFICE: Josh and Loretta deliberately keep JL Davis Enterprises smaller than outside investors want because they prefer the freedom to choose who they invest in and which organizations they support. Without outside capital, they can make investments directly to help kids at risk and support causes they care about. Perfect for entrepreneurs considering acquisitions as a growth strategy, founders preparing for PE exits, business owners figuring out what comes after they sell, and anyone interested in how the visionary and integrator partnership creates breakthrough results.

How do you scale fast without letting the business consume your life? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Josh Davis—a 5x founder, turnaround expert, and one of Canada's Top 40 Under 40—who built one of the country's fastest-growing logistics companies and sold it to a major North American transportation firm just three years after launch.Josh gets real about the tradeoffs of rapid growth.

He explains why exit planning isn't just “sell the company,” how to think about life after a deal (“the PE email shuts off—and then what?”), And why true success is a business that serves your life.You'll learn:-How to scale underperforming companies with clarity and operational excellence-Practical ways to get out of the weeds and stop being the bottleneck-Preparing for exit while keeping options open (you don't have to sell to “exit”)-People-first leadership that drives performance and cultureIf you're growing, turning around, or prepping a company for exit, this is a playbook you can actually use.More About Josh:Josh Davis is a 5x founder, business acquirer, and turnaround expert with multiple exits—including to a U.S. private equity–backed firm.

How to Scale and Exit Your Business the Right Way: In-Depth Insights from Josh DavisMany founders and CEOs find themselves caught in the day-to-day grind, unsure how to grow their business sustainably—or how to prepare for an eventual exit. In this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Josh Davis, five-time founder, Chairman and CEO of JL Davis Enterprises, and one of Canada's Top 40 Under 40. Drawing from his own entrepreneurial journey and experience selling a fast-growing logistics company, Josh shares a step-by-step guide for scaling, systemizing, and ultimately creating a business that can thrive independently of its founder.Building for Scalability and Exit SuccessJosh emphasizes that every entrepreneur should build their business as if they plan to sell it, even if they never do. A “sale-ready” company—one with clear processes, reliable systems, and strong leadership—is not only more valuable to buyers but also far easier to manage. Founders who invest early in documentation, automation, and leadership development create companies that can grow sustainably and operate smoothly without their constant involvement.A critical part of scaling is having the right people in the right roles. Josh explains that businesses often plateau because of leadership gaps or founder dependency. He recommends regularly auditing your organizational structure, empowering key hires, and fostering a culture of ownership across all levels. By delegating effectively, founders free themselves to focus on strategy rather than daily operations.When it comes to exits, planning years in advance is key. The best outcomes happen when founders clean up financials early, minimize founder reliance, and work with experienced advisors well before they're ready to sell. Josh's firm helps business owners navigate this process, whether they're preparing for acquisition, seeking investors, or simply aiming for a more autonomous company.About Josh DavisJosh Davis is a five-time founder and the Chairman & CEO of JL Davis Enterprises, where he helps entrepreneurs scale and position their businesses for successful exits.
