In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson speaks with Lindsay Greene, CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, about transforming industrial spaces for modern manufacturing. Greene shares insights on the challenges of changing perceptions about manufacturing careers, the importance of integrating workforce development with economic strategy, and her unusual career path from investment banking to grocery e-commerce before leading a major industrial development. The conversation explores how the Navy Yard creates accessible economic opportunities, the difficulties of attracting grocery stores to underserved areas, and Greene's passion for industrial policy as a driver of economic growth.

Create flexible spaces like pop-up opportunities for businesses not ready to commit to permanent locations. Recognize the unique challenges of attracting grocery stores and develop targeted strategies for food access in underserved areas. Leverage social media (like Instagram) and accessible communication channels to connect with community members and businesses. Balance preservation of industrial/waterfront spaces with the need for evolution to meet modern economic needs. Build strategic partnerships that enhance both economic opportunity and quality of life for residents. Develop demonstration projects that showcase how traditional industries are transforming for the future. Consider how your personal and professional background, even if unconventional, brings valuable perspective to economic development work. Create open channels of communication between your executive team and the public to foster engagement and collaboration. Special Guest: Lindsay Greene.

When Maria Robinson took the helm at the Grid Deployment Office within the US Department of Energy (US DOE), she stepped into one of the most pivotal (and difficult) roles in the clean energy transition.Now that she's no longer a government employee, Maria reveals what really happens inside DOE decision-making rooms, why the grid is far more fragile than most realize, and how her new role as CEO of IREC is helping shift the power back to the people.From wildfire response to data center load growth and interconnection bottlenecks, Maria clearly understands what is driving (or stifling) our energy transition —you don't want to miss this conversation.

Kenmore is Home Electricity Made Easy - Modernize the Smart Home from Appliances to the Electric Grid – Revisited w/ CEO Sri Solur   - AZ TRT S06 EP04 (265) 2-23-2025          What We Learned This Week ·         Kenmore is home electricity made easy.  Kenmore is on a mission to modernize the home. Live More & Live Better. Also need to make it Affordable. ·         Clean Tech goes w/ the smart home, smart appliances (that connect to the home) and the electrical power grid for better living Electrical Grid needs to be modernized – cannot handle the current & future power demands ·         Homes built Pre-1990 run on Electric Panels that are outdated – costs of $40K + to modernize to handle charging EVs at home ·         Design of the Future House would have a Battery in it that could recharge your appliances and electronics during down hours. ·         Solving problems in electricity and energy also have the same issues with working on better water and clean food. It is more than just an energy and electric issue.     Guest: Sri Solur, CEO, Kenmore / Brands  https://www.linkedin.com/in/solur https://www.kenmore.com/   Sri Solur is chief executive officer of brands for Kenmore at Transformco. An industry veteran with 25+ years of experience, Sri has a rich history of success leading high tech products and businesses. He previously served as CPO and GM at Berkshire Grey, a leader in industrial robotics, and was a member of the leadership team that took the company public. Sri also served as CPO at SharkNinja, and was instrumental in bringing the Shark IQ Robot vacuum and NinjaFoodi products to market, while also holding a leadership role to take the company public. Sri spent 20 years at Hewlett Packard, serving as founder and CPO of CloudPrint, the company's wearables and IOT business. In his career, Sri has created products for world-renowned brands including Hugo Boss, Movado, Ferrari, Juicy Couture, and more. Sri holds a bachelor's degree in Engineering from NIT and an MBA from Boston University.         As Earth Day approaches (April), Kenmore is empowering greener homes and people.    The trusted appliance maker recently unveiled a new “Home Electrification Made Easy” program that looks to simplify the electrification process and reduce overall costs in transitioning to electric appliances.    Kenmore has set an ambitious goal with the program to electrify one million homes that will ultimately save homeowners one billion dollars over the next decade.    Kenmore's innovation and energy programs are driving a new generation of electrification for today's home ecosystem. Some of the company's core innovations include:    Expansion of electrification and smart products for every room in the home.  Addition of electrification enablers, such as smart electrical panels and dynamic Level 2 EV chargers, that help eliminate roadblocks many homeowners have in wanting to electrify their entire home.  Simplifying rebate and savings programs, such as Congress' Inflation Reduction Act, to help customers cut costs by taking advantage of available local and national funding and discounts.  Building relationships with industry leaders in product, service and consumer education to supplement and amplify their mission to electrify American homes.    This electric push comes as a new generation of homeowners seek to invest in smarter, greener home solutions and previous generations are coming up against new government standards making accessibility to like-for-like replacement equipment for their home obsolete.    With Kenmore's electrification program delivering a quick onramp to affordable green energy homes, homeowners of all backgrounds and budgets have a more attainable path to smart, green home adoption.          Notes:   Kenmore CEO and Appliances   Seg. 1   Major appliances and clean tech and sustainability energy security is a big issue on the macro end. The effect on the electric grid and power lines.   There is lots of demand and potential blackouts. This is a fuel and demand issue. The government and utility companies are working on clean energy. Currently they use fossil fuels and working on using less.   Design of the future house would have a battery in it that could recharge your appliances and electronics storing down ours.   The electric layout of most homes, especially homes built pre-1990s has an 100 amp circuit. If you have modern tech like an EV charger in your house, an electrician cannot set it up because the EV charger will blow up your 100 amp circuit.   It would cost you between $20 and 60 K to upgrade a house for a modern electric set up. Kenmore will install electric panel with load balance for EV vehicles and in-home appliances.   Seg. 2   Electrical layout of a house as you install new appliances. There is a booster within the inflation reduction act. There are rebates for lower income people, where it pays you for getting new appliances. 10 K instant credit for new appliances.   The comparison of older appliances versus new appliances. Many older appliances may run on fossil fuels like a gas range oven or gas water heater. Older HVAC unit has more wear and tear.   On a hot days and really cold days appliances operate at peak and are putting demand on the electric red. Looking for new ways of sustainable clean energy and examples hydroelectric power.   You would have a back up in high demand times, where are you fire up a generator running on fossil fuels.   Do you want to protect the grid for maintenance but also things like cyber attacks. One way you could do this is make all homes standalone energy producers.   Peak rates for electricity or 6 to 10 PM at night. At these times electricity use taxes the grid and also taxes your wallet. Do you want to run your dishwasher post 10 PM.   Seg. 3   We are moving from a world of done by you to a world of done for you. The smart home of the future will help you.   The electrical panel would work with the grid and decide when to charge electronics in your house. Kenmore has electric appliances that works with the electric red. These appliances save you money and also save the grid.   On a bigger scale we need to modernize the electric road. Then in the future build better homes cars and appliances. Inflation reduction act has multiprong incentives for all of this.   When we saw the bull run of tech starting in 2010 it had three things working together. Social mobile and the cloud all came together to create this tech rise. Do you need electricity plus clean energy plus clean water.   A rising tide that can raise all. Do you want to solve problems, what are the pain killers?   Seg. 4   CEO was an engineer by trade. Worked in Boston went to business school and after that he built some products. Worked at Altavista on firewalls and search.   Cloud print on printing mobile with the HP e-print. Worked in wearables at Hugo boss and Ferrari.   Worked at Comcast on Xfinity digital security and high-speed Internet. Worked with shark and ninja on home robots. Worked at Bershire Gray, consumer robots which went public with an IPO.   Then at Brands / Kenmore (also Diehard batteries) - Building better and smarter appliances   Span that I/O build a smart electrical panel. Do you want your appliances to give you repair and maintenance updates.   Whole home electrification. A whole home dashboard controlling your smart home. An example would be your fridge would tell you when you need a new filter. Kenmore is a tech forward company.   Solving problems in electricity and energy also have the same issues with working on better water and clean food. It is more than just an energy and electric issue.   Live more and live better. Also need to make it affordable. Kenmore is home electricity made easy. rebates.kenmore.com they have the blue-collar work ethic with the idea of progress over perfection. Kenmore is a consumer centric team.         Biotech Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Biotech-Life+Sciences-Science   AZ Tech Council Shows:  https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=az+tech+council *Includes Best of AZ Tech Council show from 2/12/2023   Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science  Best of Tech: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=best+of+tech   ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

This week, I'm joined by two powerhouse leaders doing the heavy lifting to strengthen our country's innovation economy—Shalin Jyotishi from New America and Deb Volzer from SME. These folks aren't just talking about change—they're out there building the systems to make it happen. Shalin walks us through how New America's Future of Work and Innovation Economy initiative is working to ensure that technological advancement strengthens—not sidelines—the American middle class. He discusses the launch of a new national Accelerator for Community Colleges, designed to build capacity across institutions and regions engaged in tech-based economic development.Deb, meanwhile, shares how SME's 90-year legacy is evolving with their new Manufacturing Imperative Workforce Pipeline Challenge; a bold initiative engaging 25 community colleges across 17 states. Her team is addressing workforce gaps through scalable, employer-driven models that align local needs with national priorities in manufacturing and advanced technologies.Their work offers a roadmap for how public, private, and educational sectors can come together to meet the moment.If you care about making workforce development more effective—or just want to hear from people who are rolling up their sleeves and doing the work—this is a conversation you won't want to miss.AMCC's podcast is made possible in part by the expertise of Mike McAllen, founder of Podcasting4Associations.

Several federal agencies responsible for terminating nearly 25,000 federal probationary status workers told a federal court Monday evening that they're complying with an order to reinstate those employees, giving thousands of people their jobs back for the time being. According to a status report and corresponding declarations filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, 18 federal agencies and their subcomponents said they were working to reinstate their fired probationary employees following the court order. Most of those agencies said those workers would be placed on administrative leave. While the court order doesn't cover all fired probationary workers, the declarations in the case offer one of the first clear windows into the breadth of firings under President Donald Trump. Per figures in those declarations, the agencies initially terminated 24,813 probationary workers. Of that total, 15,499 were offered reinstatement as a direct result of the court's order. An additional 5,925 employees, at least, were previously offered reinstatement by those respective agencies before the court's order. That includes the 5,714 terminated employees in the U.S. Department of Agriculture who got their jobs back for 45 days as the result of a ruling by a quasi-judicial body within the executive branch known as the Merit Systems Protection Board. As litigation plays out on DOGE access to individuals' sensitive data, a House lawmaker is asking civil society groups, privacy experts, government technologists and others to inform legislation seeking to modernize the Privacy Act of 1974. Rep. Lori Trahan, D-Mass., said in a press release that she is beginning an effort to reform the Privacy Act, which has been cited in various lawsuits against agencies over allegedly allowing unauthorized DOGE staffers to access data that could contain personally identifiable information. “Unaccountable billionaires, inexperienced programmers and unvetted political appointees are perpetrating the biggest government privacy scandal since Watergate,” Trahan said in the release. In order to begin this effort, Trahan is asking the public to respond to a series of questions, including the federal government's need to balance privacy with other priorities like reducing waste, how the government can effectively leverage privacy-enhancing technologies, the privacy risks associated with artificial intelligence and more.

Kevin Busque is the co-founder and CEO of Guideline, a 401(k) management company revolutionizing the retirement space for small and medium-sized businesses. Prior to Guideline, Kevin co-founded Taskrabbit, where he encountered firsthand the complexity and low participation rates of traditional 401(k) plans—largely due to confusing fee structures. After launching Guideline to address those problems head-on, the company has seen remarkable growth, hitting $120 million in ARR by June 2024. In this conversation, Kevin shares pivotal moments that shaped Guideline's trajectory, including a strategic partnership with Gusto. He also explains how his “Do the hard thing first” mindset helped the team build an industry-leading platform and disrupt an entrenched market. – Referenced: ADP: https://www.adp.com/ Aydin Senkut: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aydins/ CalSavers: https://www.calsavers.com/ DoorDash: https://www.doordash.com/ Fidelity: https://www.fidelity.com/ Guideline: https://www.guideline.com/ Gusto: https://gusto.com/ Intuit: https://www.intuit.com/ Jeremy Caballero: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremycaballero/ John Zimmer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnzimmer11/ Josh Reeves: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuareeves/ Mike Nelson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mnelsonio/ Leah Solivan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leahsolivan/ Paychex: https://www.paychex.com/ Plaid: https://plaid.com/ Taskrabbit: https://www.taskrabbit.com/ Tomer London: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomerlondon/ – Where to find Kevin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinbusque/ – Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson – Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast – Timestamps: (00:00) Teaser: “I don't believe in stealth mode” (02:51) Inspiration behind Guideline (07:56) Lessons from a year's research before Guideline (10:44) Identifying market pull for Guideline (14:28) What Kevin learnt before shipping their first product (19:10) How Guideline set their fees up (27:51) The surprising range of Guideline's early customers (31:48) Kevin's insights from the Gusto integration (39:48) Guideline's first year (44:44) Working with Plaid as Guideline's first customer (53:28) Guideline's auto-enrollment feature (57:53) Lucky 8: Kevin's unexpected pricing strategy (62:04) Franchise opportunities (64:49) Kevin's reflections on Taskrabbit (71:36) Will Guideline ever go multi-product?

News and AnnouncementsBeware that ColdFusion 2021 end-of-life (and end of updates) is coming Nov 2025, and your optionsAre you still running ColdFusion 2021? While it's still supported/updated by Adobe, did you know that its end-of-life is coming just several months from now, Nov 10, 2025? That's the date when "core" support for that release ends--meaning no more updates from Adobe after that, not even security fixes.What about more recent releases, if you may wonder? CF 2023 (the current latest release) will get updates into 2028 (5 years after it was release). And there's the coming CF 2025 release, currently in pre-release (as I have recently blogged about), which is of course a great sign for the continued vitality of CF.But this looming deadline for CF2021 is a reminder that as the years roll on, we not only get new versions but we must say good-bye to old ones.Wondering what you can do? or when CF2023 or CF2025 support will end also? And what's the difference between "core" support and the available "extended" support which Adobe sells? (The extended support plan does NOT provide updates beyond this coming November.) For more on these, including official Adobe documentation that discusses such things, as well as my thoughts on migration, costs, various options to consider, and more, do read on.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2025/1/9/coldfusion2021_end_of_life_nov_2025  Java updates of Jan 21, 2025 for 8, 11, 17, 21, and 23: thoughts and resourcesIt's that time again: there are new JVM updates released today (Jan 21, 2025) for the current long-term support (LTS) releases of Oracle Java, 8, 11, 17, and 21, as well as the new short-term release 23. (The previous short-term release, Java 22, is no longer updated.)TLDR: The new updates are 1.8.0_441 (aka 8u441), 11.0.26, 17.0.14, 21.0.6, and 23.0.2, respectively. Crazy that there are now 5 current Java releases, I realize. More below, including more on each of them including what changed as well as bug fixes and the security fixes each version contains (including their CVE scores regarding urgency of concerns), which are offered in Oracle resources I list below.Oracle calls these updates "critical patch updates" (yep, "CPU"), but they are in fact scheduled quarterly updates, so that the "critical" aspect of this nomenclature may sometimes be a bit overstated. As is generally the case with these Java updates, most of them have the same changes and fixes across the four JVM versions, though not always.For some folks, that's all they need to hear. For others, read on.Whether this is your first time updating Java or your fiftieth, there are some things that you may or may not know.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2025/1/21/java_updates_jan_2025 Into the Box Round 1 of Sessions and Workshops are now out!Our first round of sessions and workshops for Into the Box 2025 is here!

It's news I first shared back in July, and the deal has been extended one last time, thus this post.TLDR; Now through Feb 28, 2025 those running CF9, 10, 11, 2016 or 2018 can upgrade to CF2023 for 25% off its full price. (Those running CF2021 can already/always could upgrade at 50% off the full price.)This is a deal offered only by Intergral, makers of FusionReactor, who are also resellers of CF. Adobe doesn't even offer this deal themselves. For more, see their blog post at https://fusion-reactor.com/blog/news/save-25-on-adobe-cf2023-upgrades/.Act now, it could save you hundreds or even thousands of $$s on a single license! https://www.carehart.org/blog/2025/1/17/last_chance_for_cf_upgrade_discount_from_cf2018_or_earlier New Releases and UpdatesTestBox v6.1.0 releaseWe're super excited to announce the release of TestBox 6.1.0!

News and AnnouncementsTomcat VulnerabilityTime-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.1, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.33, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.97. The mitigation for CVE-2024-50379 was incomplete. Users running Tomcat on a case insensitive file system with the default servlet write enabled (readonly initialisation parameter set to the non-default value of false) may need additional configuration to fully mitigate CVE-2024-50379 depending on which version of Java they are using with Tomcat: - running on Java 8 or Java 11: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches must be explicitly set to false (it defaults to true) - running on Java 17: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches, if set, must be set to false (it defaults to false) - running on Java 21 onwards: no further configuration is required (the system property and the problematic cache have been removed) Tomcat 11.0.3, 10.1.35 and 9.0.99 onwards will include checks that sun.io.useCanonCaches is set appropriately before allowing the default servlet to be write enabled on a case insensitive file system. Tomcat will also set sun.io.useCanonCaches to false by default where it can.https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-56337 How to resolve with Lucee: https://dev.lucee.org/t/cvs-exploit-of-tomcat-9-10-11/14590 End of 2024 - what did it bring itWhat is 2025 bringing?

In particular, I feel great about the way in which I embraced experimentation with both arms; and, that I tried throwing as many features against the wall to see which would stick. Some of my experiments ended up being a "nothing burger". But, some of them went on to become highly valuable parts of the application and the user experience (UX). The whole process made me somewhat fearless in the face of opposition; and, taught me to love my failures just as much as my successes.

Federal agencies are making significant strides in revolutionizing data access and records management by adopting new technologies, improving processes and fostering greater transparency. The Library of Congress and National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) are revolutionizing access to their vast amounts of historical records and born-digital content. The organizations are taking innovative approaches to digitization, metadata management and leveraging cutting-edge technologies like AI and machine learning to enhance discoverability and accessibility. Natalie Buda Smith, director of digital strategy at the Library of Congress, and Jill Reilly, digital engagement director at NARA, dive into the challenges of preserving and providing access to digital-native materials, from obsolete formats to emulation strategies.

In Episode 20 of the FileMaker DevCast, join our Portage Bay developers as they talk web apps. Charles, Jacob, Joe, John, Mike, & Russell discuss the nuances of deciding what approach to use when integrating FileMaker data with a web front-end. Do you stick with WebDirect, branch out to using FM BetterForms, or commit to full-stack development? WebDirect has an advantage of proven simplicity. But it also comes with limitations, such as a non-standard web experience and licensing costs for public-facing applications.  FM Better Forms can be an excellent fit when you want to provide a polished, web-based user experience while still leveraging your FileMaker expertise. FM BetterForms can reduce development complexity by handling the back-end integration, deployment, and maintenance tasks that would normally be required in a full-stack web app approach. It also includes common front-end libraries - such as Tailwind, Bootstrap, and Lodash - that are kept updated for you. (NOTE: FM BetterForms is not currently compatible with FileMaker Cloud, since Cloud does not yet support XML web publishing.)

Since then, several proof-of-concept exploits have been published online.CVE-2024-20767 is due to an improper access control weakness that allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to read the system and other sensitive files. According to SecureLayer7, successfully exploiting ColdFusion servers with the admin panel exposed online can also allow attackers to bypass security measures and perform arbitrary file system writes.https://www.scyscan.com/cve-2024-20767/adobe-coldfusion-improper-access-control-vulnerability/#google_vignette Important notice: Upcoming deprecations and removals in ColdFusion (2025 release)Added cfencode.sh to the table of removals.Updated Customizing an HTTP response to HTTP reason phrases.Added contact email id cf-deprecation@adobe.comhttps://coldfusion.adobe.com/2024/12/important-notice-upcoming-deprecations-and-removals-in-coldfusion-2025-release/ ICYMI - Adobe CF2025 Beta is now openGet an exclusive sneak peek at what's next for ColdFusion!

HighlightsExpansions Through Acquisitions (01:32)SignUp Software has been expanding its product portfolio, moving from a focus on the office of the CFO more broadly into the operations world. Through acquisitions, its product suite has evolved. In December 2023, SignUp Software acquired Axtension, a Netherlands-based company. It has been working with Axtension on emphasizing the “I” in ISV (independent software vendor).One of the six products involved an overlap with ExFlow AP. This led the team to taking the best of IP (invoice processing) and moving it into ExFlow to build out an offering for AP automation. The other five products are targeted toward manufacturing and project-based businesses. “They fill great gaps with the Microsoft platform toward other ERP systems as well, so we're really thrilled to present this,” Hedin says.Easy Integration for Microsoft Users (06:20)With these offerings, it becomes easier for customers to manage this integration within their ERP environments, especially for Microsoft users. Bigger, more complex Microsoft users often use three to five different ISVs, Hedin notes. Now, the company's offering enables customers to use one solution to integrate Axtension and SignUp Software.Autonomous Finance (10:05)SignUp has been working on low-touch, autonomous finance for a while. It's been set up with strict parameters. The system helps automate financial processes, such as processing invoices from suppliers. Gradually, the level of automation will increase as the system is used, reducing the need for hands-on processing.Community Summit North America (13:13)SignUp Software will be at Community Summit North America, which takes place on October 13-17 in San Antonio, Texas. “I think it's the greatest event when we get the combination of Microsoft and customers, partners and product suppliers,” Hedin says. He encourages attendees to “mix and mingle across those borders…and have fun.”Attendees can find Hedin and the SignUp Software team at Booth #1133. They are looking forward to chatting about the latest innovations from SignUp Software — including AI, e-invoicing, and more — and getting input from the customers.

The Pentagon announced Saturday that it selected five small, non-traditional defense contractors to receive funding to help move their emerging technologies into production. Each company will receive $10 million under the Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovative Technologies (APFIT) pilot program overseen by Heidi Shyu, undersecretary of defense for research and engineering. The awards mark the first batch of APFIT funding distributed in fiscal 2025 and they're being bankrolled through continuing resolution appropriations. Shyu said in a statement: “With the backing of APFIT, these companies have an opportunity to push their innovations over the finish line. We look forward to supporting additional projects important to warfighters as more funding is appropriated.” APFIT is intended to steer existing innovation projects across the so-called “valley of death” — a phenomenon in which emerging technologies that have successful research-and-development efforts with the Defense Department fail to receive additional funding for production.

Keywords:  tech entrepreneur, startup journey, leadership in tech, business processes, small business tools, automation, digital transformation, fractional CTO, customer experience, technology solutions Summary:  In this episode, Mitch Beinhacker interviews tech entrepreneur Ben Johnson, who shares his journey from a young paperboy to a successful entrepreneur in the tech industry. Ben discusses the challenges he faced in various startups, the importance of leadership and clear communication in tech, and how he helps small businesses navigate technology and automation. He emphasizes the need for businesses to modernize and adapt to changing environments, and the role of fractional CTO services in providing affordable tech solutions for small companies. The conversation also touches on the significance of effective business processes and the tools available for small business owners to enhance their operations. Takeaways Ben's entrepreneurial journey began with a paper route at 13. He built an online travel agency during the early days of the internet. Identifying businesses that are behind the times is key to his strategy. Automation and online systems can significantly improve business efficiency. Leadership clarity is crucial for tech teams to be productive. The 'cone of uncertainty' helps businesses plan effectively. Small companies often overlook the importance of leadership training. Technology should serve business goals, not complicate them. Custom solutions can enhance customer experience beyond off-the-shelf products. Fractional CTO services provide affordable tech expertise for small businesses.

When I first got into entrepreneurship, I thought starting from scratch was the only way. I built my agency from the ground up, but after learning from people like Walker Deibel, I see that business acquisition often makes way more sense. Imagine taking over a business that already has customers, revenue, and operations. You can scale faster without all the initial growing pains—it's a smarter, quicker way to grow compared to starting fresh every time.About Walker DeibelWalker Deibel is an outstanding entrepreneur with more than a decade of experience buying and scaling businesses, having successfully acquired 7 companies and co-founded several startups along the way. He's the author of the best-seller Buy Then Build, a must-read for anyone looking to grow through business acquisition. As an M&A advisor with Quiet Light, Walker helps online businesses navigate their exits. Through his program, Acquisition Lab, he shares his personal journey and practical strategies to teach entrepreneurs why buying an existing company can be the smartest path to growth—and how to do it right.Key Insights:Focus on recurring revenue models. When buying a business, prioritize those with recurring revenue, like subscription models. This gives you a reliable income stream and makes the business more stable, allowing you to plan and scale with greater confidence.Look for underperforming businesses. Find companies that aren't doing well because of bad management or outdated systems. After buying them, improve operations, marketing, or customer service to increase profits and grow the business.Combine resources. If you buy multiple businesses, find ways for them to share resources, like employees or marketing efforts. This saves money and helps all the businesses grow more efficiently.Plan for the future sale. From the start, think about how to make the business more valuable when you want to sell it. Improve profits and streamline operations so you can sell it at a higher price later.Modernize traditional businesses. Find older businesses that could benefit from modern updates like better online marketing or e-commerce. You can increase their value by bringing them up to date.Walker's best advice for entrepreneurs:"If you can bridge the old economy and the new economy, that's actually the very unique opportunity that we have in our lifetime."Connect with Walker Deibel:LinkedInYouTubeXBuy Then BuildAcquisition LabFollow Beyond 8 Figures:LinkedInXWebsite
