That's what you trade with.

In Part 2 of Why You Should Buy a Business Instead of Starting One with Jory Evans, we move past the mechanics of deal-making and into the high-stakes world of execution. Jory Evans, CEO of Evans Trucking, explains why acquisitions succeed or fail not in the negotiation room, but in how leaders handle the transition afterward. He highlights the importance of logistics, leadership depth, and cultural alignment, drawing from his own experiences of scaling Evans Trucking through multiple acquisitions. Jory breaks down how leadership voids, communication breakdowns, and rushed software or process changes can destabilize both the company being purchased and the buyer's existing business.This episode also digs into the human side of acquisitions—the trust between buyer and seller, the role of vendor financing in ensuring alignment, and the delicate process of retaining key staff and customer relationships. Jory shares candid stories of successes and setbacks, illustrating why over 60% of acquisitions fail and how entrepreneurs can avoid becoming part of that statistic. For anyone looking to grow through acquisitions, this conversation offers a blueprint for building a solid execution plan, managing risk, and leading with trust to ensure long-term success. Key Takeaways: 1. Closing the deal is only the beginning—execution is where acquisitions succeed or fail.2. Leadership depth matters; a thin or tired team can derail integration.3. Culture fit is critical—clashing values can destroy even the best-looking deals.4. Retaining staff and relationships is often more valuable than the assets you purchase.5. Logistics like communication, proximity, and software transitions can make or break efficiency.6. Trust between buyer and seller is essential—without it, lawyers and accountants can tear a deal apart.7. Vendor financing keeps sellers invested in your success, making transitions smoother.8. Over 60% of acquisitions fail because companies ignore the human and cultural side of integration.9. Always have a leadership plan to fill voids quickly when owners or key people exit.10. Stay unemotional, follow the process, and be willing to walk away if red flags appear.

As my producer wrote in the margins of this week's material, the phrase ‘Collaborative Divorce' can seem, on its face, like an oxymoron. After all, whether it's a marriage, partnership, or friendship, the act of separating one's self from another person usually stems from an inability to collaborate in the first place. But over the last four decades, Dr. Honey Sheff has designed many of the systems to help shepherd families through the separation process in a way that serves everyone. After working the Family Courts for 30 years, she decided there had to be a better way to help families separate while still honoring the wishes of everyone involved. Among her many professional achievements, Dr. Sheff is responsible for helping create the parenting plan summary form that is now used statewide by mental health professionals and attorneys with divorcing couples. She and Mike discuss why more and more attorneys are choosing A.D.R. to help couples separate with civility, why she believes the worst place for any family is inside a courtroom, and why boundaries are not only necessary to protect your emotional wellbeing, but vital in preserving your ability to serve your clients.____________________________SHOWNOTES:Dr. Sheff on LinkedIn

They discuss Cameron's unique background in investment banking, the importance of effective communication during acquisitions, and strategies for retaining key employees. Cameron shares valuable lessons learned from his early experiences in acquisitions, emphasizing the significance of understanding cultural factors and integrating businesses successfully. The conversation also explores current trends in business acquisitions, particularly in the lower middle market, and how small businesses can leverage acquisitions as a growth strategy. In this conversation, Cameron Bishop and Mitch Beinhaker discuss the critical aspects of preparing a business for sale, focusing on financial readiness, exit strategies, and the common pitfalls that business owners face. They emphasize the importance of understanding financials, the impact of owner dependency, customer and vendor concentration, and the overall financial performance of a business. The discussion provides valuable insights for business owners considering an exit strategy and highlights the factors that can affect the sellability of their business. Takeaways Cameron's background as an investment banker is unique and valuable. Effective communication is crucial during the acquisition process. Mistakes in acquisitions often stem from overlooking cultural factors. Retaining key employees is essential for successful integration post-acquisition. Acquisitions can be a viable growth strategy for small businesses. Understanding the motivations of employees can lead to better outcomes. Integration strategies should focus on preserving what works in the acquired business. The market for business acquisitions is currently active despite economic concerns. Small businesses can benefit from acquiring others to enhance their value. Cameron has completed around 50 deals throughout his career. Business owners often lack exit strategies. Financial readiness is crucial for selling a business. Many owners do not understand their finances. Owner dependency can significantly impact sellability. Customer concentration poses a risk to business value. Vendor relationships must be diversified to mitigate risk. Understanding gross margins is essential for valuation. Tariffs can complicate business transactions. Business owners should work on their business, not just in it. Preparation for sale should start years in advance.

In today's interview, Adam Lurie from Knexus begins by discussing a corporate strategy that combines research and innovation with engineering. This approach has been consistent over decades of serving the federal government. One stellar example of this fusion was their success in the $919 million 10-year Supply Chain Risk Illumination Professional Tools and Services (SCRIPTS) Blanket Purchase Agreement from the GSA. One of the challenges in “applied” AI is the data itself. Often, particularly in the federal government, there are strict rules governing the handling of data. We have all heard about the encryption of data at rest and data in transit. Given this limitation, it may be challenging to establish an iterative process that optimizes security and reliability. The answer from Knexus is to use synthetic data to emulate an actual sensitive federal data set. That way, several methods can be used to rapidly identify foreign influence, monitor vendor integrity, and visualize complex risk management scenarios. This innovation enables developers to optimize the security of a supply chain, taking into account variations that incorporate modern technologies and adapt to emerging threats. A key partner in this creative approach is Google. Knexus was recently named 2025's Google Cloud Business Application Partner of the Year for Government. Retaining security while innovating will be the key to applying AI to solve federal business needs now and in the future.  

This week in the business of podcasting: There's preservationists who want to save the soul of podcasting, there's growth advocates that welcome the YouTubeifiaction of podcasts. Tom Webster argues both are right, and that binary might be hurting podcasting's ability to preserve its "soul." The Podcast Host and Alitu CEO Colin Gray talks about the sort-of surprise that was seeing Alitu on stream during Apple's WWDC presentation, as well as his experiences over 15 years of working in podcasting. YouTube is preparing a crackdown on mass-produced and repetitive video content with some wording updates to the guidelines that run their monetization program. Spotify has ensured pod.link's future by giving the company back to Nathan Gathright, the original developer. Find links to every article discussed by heading to the Download's section of SoundsProfitable.com, or clicking here to head straight to the post for today's episode.

Tom Webster argues both are right, and that binary might be hurting podcasting's ability to preserve its "soul." The Podcast Host and Alitu CEO Colin Gray talks about the sort-of surprise that was seeing Alitu on stream during Apple's WWDC presentation, as well as his experiences over 15 years of working in podcasting. YouTube is preparing a crackdown on mass-produced and repetitive video content with some wording updates to the guidelines that run their monetization program. Spotify has ensured pod.link's future by giving the company back to Nathan Gathright, the original developer. Find links to every article discussed by heading to the Download's section of SoundsProfitable.com, or clicking here to head straight to the post for today's episode.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry Added more pickled beets to the pantry this week—trying to stay ahead of the beet wave Dried a fresh batch of lemon balm, thanks to a special visitor who brought me a beautiful harvest Testing a new approach to event food and premade meals—moving to stainless steel restaurant trays with lids for things like meatloaf. Easier to stack, serve, and clean Hoping to score cucumbers this weekend for the next round of pickling Frugality Tip A little weekly effort saves you tons of money in convenience food over time. I've been making 8 pounds of meatloaf at a time lately—when meatloaf is on the meal plan, I shape and freeze extras for future, easy-to-serve meals. In fact, once a week, I pick something to batch like this—whether it's blanching and freezing extra broccoli, or making carnivore pizza crusts. When life gets busy, I can just pull, cook, and serve—faster than driving into town or grabbing premade, low-quality food. This habit saves money, improves nutrition, and helps prevent impulse spending. It also keeps us healthier, which could mean fewer medical bills later. So here's your challenge: Look at your meal plan this week and find one thing you can double and freeze. Future you will thank you. Operation Independence I finished my taxes! One more round to go and I'll be fully caught up. This process hasn't just been about checking a box—it's given me real insight into where money is flowing (and where it's not). That clarity has helped me reprioritize how I spend my time and energy moving forward. Sometimes, independence means getting your financial house in order—even if it's uncomfortable. Main Topic of the Day: If I Were Starting a Homestead Today - a question from Ian who is about to buy his homestead from across the country and move… FIRST THE BAD STUFF I DID Make it fun more often and from the start - Bulldoze the house and build new in a better location - Emotional attachment to the goats Maybe Not Get Goats  Moved the garden to zone 1 Retaining wall and French drain system - easy maintenance plan  1 animal or major change at a time until it is easy - Hard reset on stuff  Infrastructure before animals (see above) Time on the property to observe the seasons - Overseen contractors and helpers more closely - Build with profit in mind - 1 thing financing the next thing  Addressed the negative energy issue - Better use of on-site resources - like junk trees - morel story -  Get good at compost first - grazing - soil Water system - repair versus fix once and for all - Learn from the local community regarding what grows well here, hydrology, local knowledge and dependable contractors take classes development relationships talk to neighbors Hydrology/water, access, then the rest is the order to plan in I waited ten years to bring in a permaculture consultant and that was wrong 5 Things You Should Do When Starting a Homestead (From 18 Years of Hard Lessons) Start With a Big-Picture Plan, Not What's Already There Too many new homesteaders try to make existing structures or systems work—even when they don't. That old house, random infrastructure, or legacy garden spot can lock you into years of wasted time and money. Don't get emotionally attached to what's there. Design from scratch based on what works, not what exists. Build Soil and Observe Before You Build Anything Permanent The smartest first year move is not to plant trees, build a barn, or install major systems - unless you just have to as part of your plan. It's to study your land and build soil health. Hydrology, sun, wind, and microclimates matter more than what you think you want to do. Compost, watch water flow, graze slowly, and improve soil. One System at a Time—Fully Functional Before You Add More Piling on animals, gardens, or outbuildings without the infrastructure in place leads to burnout and chaos. If you're chasing goats while digging fenceposts, you're doing it wrong. Add systems only when the current one runs easily. Tap Local Knowledge and Outside Experts Early You don't need to figure everything out yourself. Local growers, neighbors, county experts, and consultants can save you years of mistakes—if you listen.  The culvert story Build relationships and take advice. Pay consultants when it counts. Manage the Energy—Spiritual, Emotional, and Environmental Homesteading isn't just physical work. There is a spiritual signature from before you were ever there and you may have attracted some haters over time - take control of the bad energy, get your property blessed or whatever you need to do to protect it, and yourself, from unnecessarily bad baggage. This is ongoing. Clear bad energy, maintain spiritual health, and set firm boundaries. The Holler Roast Prebuy is live! Support the shack, get coffee credit, and score digital goodies.

Jeannette examines the intricate dynamics of family businesses and the challenge of attracting top-tier executive talent while preserving the company's culture, values, and legacy. She discusses the importance of bringing in external leaders to drive innovation and growth in an increasingly competitive market, while also emphasising the need for clarity in governance, deep cultural immersion, and a balance of autonomy with guardrails Jeannette explains why: Family businesses face the challenge of attracting top-tier executive talent while preserving their culture, values, and legacy. It's essential to find a balance between modernisation and maintaining the emotional identity of the business. Establishing clear governance structures is crucial for family enterprises. Formal frameworks help clarify decision-making processes and power dynamics, allowing external leaders to operate effectively without confusion. Successful onboarding of external executives involves deep cultural immersion. Leaders should connect with the family's story and values to foster emotional investment and lead with purpose, not just logic. Great leaders thrive in environments where they have the freedom to innovate while understanding the non-negotiable values of the family business. Clear boundaries help maintain the company's core identity while allowing for evolution. Subscribe to Brave Bold Brilliant for weekly wisdom on leadership, legacy, and living boldly.

Episode #352: Nicholas Coppel's tenure as Australia's ambassador to Myanmar (2015–2018) provides a unique lens on the country's transition toward democracy, as well as the enduring challenges posed by military dominance. Serving during the historic 2015 elections, Coppel witnessed the National League for Democracy (NLD) rise to power under Aung San Suu Kyi. Yet despite the optimism surrounding the election, the military's entrenched authority under the 2008 Constitution continued to hinder reform. Retaining control of key ministries and 25% of parliamentary seats, the military ensured an enduring imbalance of power, despite the civilian government's best efforts. Coppel's engagement was largely with the civilian government, as the military remained resistant to diplomacy. Australian programs like English language training for military officers aimed to bridge gaps, but he acknowledges their limited impact. Coppel's reflections highlight how this lack of meaningful dialogue with the military constrained international efforts to anticipate or mitigate future conflicts, including during and after the 2021 coup. Coppel outlines the difficult balance the international community faces in responding to Myanmar's post-coup environment. He notes that symbolic gestures like refusing to appoint ambassadors are clear signals of disapproval but do not exert meaningful pressure on the military regime. He warns that some well-intentioned actions, such as corporate withdrawals, have produced perverse outcomes—like increasing the military's revenue share in sectors such as oil and gas—while simultaneously harming ordinary civilians, such as garment workers losing jobs. Rather than blanket disengagement, he encourages a more thoughtful approach: supporting efforts that sustain the people of Myanmar without empowering the military, including initiatives like exile media, telehealth, and distance education. Technology, according to Coppel, plays a dual role in Myanmar's crisis. While it enables resistance through fundraising and information sharing, it also facilitates military surveillance and propaganda. Despite these challenges, he remains cautiously optimistic, believing that change will come from the resilience of Myanmar's people. “I would encourage your listeners to remain engaged with Myanmar. I would hate to think that the country and our attention on it, and our interest in it is diminished because of the actions of a military general,” Coppel urges, emphasizing the importance of global support for the people of Myanmar.

Chris Urmson has spent the last 20 years pushing the limits of autonomous driving—first at Carnegie Mellon's DARPA Grand Challenge team, then as co-founder of Google's self-driving car project, now Waymo.On this week's episode, the Aurora CEO retraces that journey—from building robot cars in the desert to leading a public company pioneering driverless trucking.He shares why autonomy was always a matter of when, not if, how he handled a high-profile departure from Waymo, and what it takes to build at the intersection of deep tech, safety, and infrastructure.Now eight years into Aurora, Urmson says the future he's been chasing is finally within reach.Guest: Chris Urmson, Co-Founder & CEO of AuroraChapters: 00:00 Trailer00:43 Introduction01:59 FSD: are we there? 14:31 The competition, a million dollar check from LA to LV22:50 Dream like an amateur, execute like a pro32:30 Operate with integrity42:49 The future is here, unevenly distributed49:36 Underestimated decisions, minimizing regrets1:03:55 Retaining value1:16:45 Integrating self-driving1:28:20 Lifer1:29:25 Who Aurora is hiring1:29:53 What “grit” means to Chris1:30:15 OutroMentioned in this episode: Waymo, Google, Rivian, Dmitri Dolgov, Uber, Tesla, The DARPA Grand Challenge, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, United States Department of Defense, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, FedEx, Werner Enterprises, Hirschbach, Schneider Electric, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Sebastian Thrun, Batman, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Anthony Levandowski, Donald Trump, Apple iPhone, Airbnb, Blackmore, Stripe, Titan, Ford, Volkswagen, RJ Scaringe, Peterbilt Motors Company, The Volvo Group, Continental AG, Dara KhosrowshahiLinks:Connect with Chris UrmsonXLinkedInConnect with JoubinXLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner Perkins

Happy Memorial Day, everybody, and thanks to all those families whose loved one paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.On this episode, I'm going to show you how to handle difficult employees. There will always be difficult employees in any organization. Even Fortune 500 companies have rotten tomatoes in them. As a leader, your job is to lead a team. Encourage them to do their work. Do their performance reviews, and talk to them when things go wrong. But how can you do that when you don't even know who you're dealing with?This applies to everyone in your team, but more so to the difficult employees. This episode is a Leader's Guide to common trouble makers in the office and was designed to help you understand your team members, especially the trouble makers.In many cases, your challenging employee isn't just trying to make your life more difficult.Their difficult behavior often reflects strengths you saw when hiring. But some are simply problem employees, and keeping them due to staffing needs is a management mistake. Your first step as a new manager is identifying which is which.These five common types can disrupt the whole team with negative attitudes or disruptive behaviors. Yet, many bring unique talents that drive success when guided properly. Their bad attitude might stem from passion or ambition misdirected. A clear plan with specific examples can channel their energy into positive change. Not every tough case is a toxic employee waiting to implode.But some employees consistently show problematic behavior that hurts morale. Retaining them out of desperation risks poor performance across the board. Disciplinary action becomes necessary when efforts to redirect fail. Good management separates those with potential from true troublemakers who harm the team.You'll learn to spot these behaviors and act decisively. This episode breaks down the five types, their quirks, and how to handle difficult employees effectively. With the right approach, you turn challenges into wins for the whole team.

OpenAI's recent announcement that its nonprofit would “retain control” of its for-profit business sounds reassuring. But this seemingly major concession, celebrated by so many, is in itself largely meaningless.Litigator Tyler Whitmer is a coauthor of a newly published letter that describes this attempted sleight of hand and directs regulators on how to stop it.As Tyler explains, the plan both before and after this announcement has been to convert OpenAI into a Delaware public benefit corporation (PBC) — and this alone will dramatically weaken the nonprofit's ability to direct the business in pursuit of its charitable purpose: ensuring AGI is safe and “benefits all of humanity.”Right now, the nonprofit directly controls the business. But were OpenAI to become a PBC, the nonprofit, rather than having its “hand on the lever,” would merely contribute to the decision of who does.Why does this matter? Today, if OpenAI's commercial arm were about to release an unhinged AI model that might make money but be bad for humanity, the nonprofit could directly intervene to stop it. In the proposed new structure, it likely couldn't do much at all.But it's even worse than that: even if the nonprofit could select the PBC's directors, those directors would have fundamentally different legal obligations from those of the nonprofit. A PBC director must balance public benefit with the interests of profit-driven shareholders — by default, they cannot legally prioritise public interest over profits, even if they and the controlling shareholder that appointed them want to do so.As Tyler points out, there isn't a single reported case of a shareholder successfully suing to enforce a PBC's public benefit mission in the 10+ years since the Delaware PBC statute was enacted.This extra step from the nonprofit to the PBC would also mean that the attorneys general of California and Delaware — who today are empowered to ensure the nonprofit pursues its mission — would find themselves powerless to act. These are probably not side effects but rather a Trojan horse for-profit investors are trying to slip past regulators.Fortunately this can all be addressed — but it requires either the nonprofit board or the attorneys general of California and Delaware to promptly put their foot down and insist on watertight legal agreements that preserve OpenAI's current governance safeguards and enforcement mechanisms.As Tyler explains, the same arrangements that currently bind the OpenAI business have to be written into a new PBC's certificate of incorporation — something that won't happen by default and that powerful investors have every incentive to resist.Full transcript and links to learn more: https://80k.info/twChapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Tyler Whitmer?
