Podcasts about Structuring

We're back! After a little hiatus between new guest episodes, we return in style as Dave sits down with Aviv Canaani, Chief Revenue Officer at Datarails, to discuss his firm belief that there is no real way to grow a B2B company without building a brand - especially not today.Aviv shares his unique journey from marketing leader to Chief Revenue Officer, and how he transformed a traditional outbound sales machine into a high-growth inbound powerhouse through a constant process of experimentation, risk-taking, learning and iterating. Along the way, he and Dave dismantle the myth (prevalent amongst many scaleup marketers) that brand is just "fluffy" creative work. We also dive into:The CRO's case for brand: Why revenue leaders should obsess over brand as the ultimate "revenue tomorrow" engine.The outbound/inbound shift: How Datarails moved from 90% outbound to 90% inbound through intentional brand-building and community.Balancing short-term & long-term: Managing separate growth and brand teams to hit this quarter's targets while fueling future demand.B2B doesn't mean boring: How memes, a niche podcast, and sponsoring the Microsoft Excel World Cup drove massive engagement in the typically corporate finance space.If you're a marketing leader looking to learn more about brand-building's impact on revenue growth, or moving beyond over-reliance on short-term outbound activity, this masterclass in modern B2B growth is for you.

In this episode, Emily sits down with education leader, school founder, and author Chris Balme to completely reframe how we view the middle school years. Rather than treating early adolescence as a miserable phase to simply muddle through, it's a period of profound neurological transformation and peak human potential. Redesigning educational environments for neurodivergent students, by prioritizing smaller, consistent advisory cohorts and scaffolding executive function, creates a safer, more engaging culture for everyone. Other topics include the activation of the "social brain," why a baseline of belonging must be established before academic achievement can occur, and how traditional middle school structures often inadvertently fight against a student's natural developmental drives. TAKEAWAYS Middle school is a period of rapid cognitive and social development that requires specific developmental maps, not lowered expectations. A balanced and healthy social brain provides a secure sense of belonging, which is a biological imperative. Structuring middle schools to support neurodivergent learners enhances psychological safety and improves the educational baseline for the entire student body. Middle schoolers possess a highly attuned radar for authenticity and are skeptical of artificial relevance, like busywork. Objective, real-world responsibilities massively boost a middle schooler's maturity and self-efficacy. Mental health professionals, join us for our next live 90-minute CE training, Inherited Neurodivergence: Supporting Parents' Identity Journeys, featuring presenter, Dr. Amy Marschall. The event is Friday, March 6 at 2:00 pm Eastern/11:00 am Pacific. It's approved for continuing education through the American Psychological Association and the National Board of Certified Counselors. If you can't make it live, you can still register for the self-study version. Chris Balme is an education leader, writer, and school founder dedicated to helping young people unlock their human potential. He currently serves as Co-Principal at Hakuba International School and is the Founder and Director of Argonaut, an online advisory program supporting middle schoolers around the world. Chris is an Ashoka Fellow, recognized for his leadership as a changemaker in education. He is the author of two books: Finding the Magic in Middle School, written for parents and teachers, and Challenge Accepted, written directly for middle school students. Through his work, writing, and international speaking and training, Chris continues to inspire more human-centered, transformative approaches to education. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and three children.

#805 What if your next income stream came from a quiet little corner of the internet — website hosting? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Link Moser, a 30-year veteran in the service-based business world, who built a recurring revenue machine by maintaining and hosting websites for hundreds of small businesses.

Buying a business isn't just about finding the right opportunity. It's about structuring the deal in a way that works for everyone involved. In this week's episode of Business Buying Strategies, Jonathan hands the microphone to his dealmaking partner Martin, who shares insights from a live webinar with Dealmakers clients. Martin has been directly involved in hundreds of acquisitions and is currently negotiating multiple deals himself. In this session he explains how real deals are structured, how negotiations actually unfold, and what funding strategies are working in today's market.  This episode is packed with practical advice drawn from real negotiations happening right now. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why negotiation skills matter more than clever deal structures Many new dealmakers become fascinated by complex deal structures. But Martin explains that the structure itself is rarely the difficult part. The real skill lies in negotiating terms that work for both sides. Successful negotiators focus on three outcomes: • Getting the business cheaper • Getting better payment terms • Getting more value for the same price When you negotiate with these principles in mind, both sides feel they've achieved a good outcome. Why deal structure can change a business's value dramatically One of the most striking insights from the episode is how the same business can be valued very differently depending on the deal structure. Martin shares a real example where four potential deal structures valued the same business between £1.2 million and £3 million. Nothing about the business itself changed. Only the structure of the deal. Ironically, the structure with the highest valuation turned out to be the best deal for the buyer because it produced significantly stronger annual cashflow. It's a powerful reminder that: Price alone never tells the full story. Why preparation matters – but expecting the unexpected matters more Many first-time buyers believe they need to be perfectly prepared before approaching a seller. Martin explains why this mindset can hold you back. In real negotiations, unexpected moments happen constantly. He shares a story about visiting a potential acquisition target and discovering—mid-conversation—that the seller spoke Danish, which unexpectedly became a useful rapport-building moment. The lesson? You cannot prepare for every possible outcome. But you can stay flexible and genuine. The difference between objections and buying questions A key negotiation skill is recognising the difference between: An objection and A buying question Often when sellers raise concerns, they are not rejecting the deal. They are simply participating in the buying process. For example, when a seller asks: "How do I know you'll actually pay me the deferred payments in the future?" This is usually a buying question rather than resistance. Martin explains how to respond by: • Sharing your long-term vision for the business • Explaining why reputation matters for future acquisitions • Highlighting legal protections within the deal Handled correctly, these moments can build trust rather than derail negotiations. The most common funding options used in acquisitions Funding a deal doesn't always require traditional bank loans. Martin outlines several financing options frequently used in acquisitions:   Invoice Finance One of the easiest and most flexible funding sources, especially for B2B businesses. Asset Finance Funding secured against equipment, machinery or vehicles within the business. Bridging Finance Often used when property assets are involved. Cashflow Lending Possible but generally riskier because it relies solely on the borrower's ability to repay. Interestingly, Martin's preference is often no external finance at all, using seller-funded structures instead. These can dramatically reduce risk for the buyer. The danger of majority share purchases Another important insight relates to buying majority stakes instead of full ownership. Martin warns that shared ownership can lead to serious problems if the relationship between directors breaks down. Whenever possible, buying 100% of the business is usually the cleaner and safer option. If a minority stake remains, it's essential to agree upfront how future exits will be handled. How to handle seller concerns about deferred payments One of the most common objections sellers raise is concern about receiving payments years into the future. Martin explains how to reassure sellers by emphasising: • Your long-term strategy for the business • The reputational damage of failing to honour agreements • Legal protections within the share purchase agreement • The mutual incentives to make the business succeed When positioned correctly, deferred payments become a shared success model, not a risk. Key Takeaway The biggest misconception about buying businesses is that deals depend on complicated financial engineering. In reality, successful acquisitions come down to three things: • Strong negotiation skills • Smart deal structures • Clear alignment between buyer and seller Master these, and opportunities open up quickly. If you want to understand how real deals are negotiated and funded in today's market, this episode is essential listening. Expect practical advice, honest insights, and real-world examples from the front lines of dealmaking.   If you're serious about buying a business – and avoiding the mistakes Jonathan outlines – book a free Clarity Call with one of his team:

This week on P&L, I'm joined by Chad Huffhines, a prolific Jersey Mike's franchisee who has mastered the art of rapid scaling.

Buying a $10M–$100M online business isn’t just about having capital. It’s about relationships, structure, leverage, and knowing how the game is really played behind closed doors. In this episode, Jaryd Krause sits down with Emmet Kilduff, founder of The Fortia Group and former investment banker at Morgan Stanley, to unpack how serious online acquisitions actually get done in the $10M to $100M range. After 25 years in M&A, Emmet pulls back the curtain on what separates institutional buyers from everyday acquirers, and why trying to “figure it out yourself” is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make. You’ll learn: The 3-stage “Flirt, Date, Marry” framework elite dealmakers use to build acquisition relationships years before a deal closes Why the best buyers pitch sellers, and how to create a buyer deck that makes founders want you The real funding structures used by strategics, private equity, aggregators, and search funds What’s changed since the 2021 acquisition boom, and why 100% upfront deals are basically extinct The truth about earn-outs (and why most are designed for buyers, not sellers) Why recurring revenue businesses command premium multiples, and how valuation arbitrage actually works How to transition from operator to owner so you can think strategically and fund bigger moves This is not theory. This is how real capital allocators think. If you want to understand how serious acquirers finance deals, structure terms, protect downside, and build relationships that lead to eight- and nine-figure exits, this episode is your behind-the-scenes briefing. If you’re planning to buy, sell, or scale an online business and want to understand how institutional-level M&A actually works, hit the “Play” button. Episode Highlights 03:12 Why Even $10M Buyers Shouldn’t Go It Alone 05:08 The “Flirt, Date, Marry” Framework for Closing Bigger Deals 08:41 How Smart Buyers Pitch Sellers (And Win Trust Fast) 12:06 The Truth About Earn-Outs (And Why Sellers Should Be Careful) 18:47 The Three Types of Institutional Buyers in the $10M–$100M Range 23:55 Why Recurring Revenue Changes Everything in Valuation 28:36 The Strategic Conversations That Should Happen Before Price Is Discussed 35:44 From Operator to Owner: Making the Shift to Strategic Thinking 40:27 Building an Advisory Board That Actually Moves the Needle Key Takeaways ➥ Buying a $10M–$100M online business is as much about relationships and strategy as it is about money. ➥ Use the “Flirt, Date, Marry” framework: build trust early, share information progressively, and finalize only when both sides are aligned. ➥ Strong buyers actively pitch sellers—your experience, vision, and team matter just as much as your capital. ➥ Typical deal structures include 60–80% upfront with the balance via earn-outs, equity rollover, or milestone-based deferred payments. ➥ Structuring earn-outs around revenue, not profit, reduces disputes and protects long-term relationships. ➥ Recurring revenue businesses (SaaS, subscriptions, memberships) command higher multiples and offer more predictable financing. ➥ Advisory panels and mentors accelerate decision-making, reduce risk, and boost credibility with sellers. ➥ Transitioning from operator to owner requires delegation, trust, and strategic focus over day-to-day management. ➥ Patience, preparation, and network-building are the hidden factors that make or break acquisition success.

We washed all of our bowls THOROUGHLY before this great episode! A main topic was the story of US Ski Mountaineering at the Olympics, where Cam Smith and Anna Gibson had miraculous performances. 50 years from now, people will still be talking about this team with the impossible dream.And this one had extremely interesting science that had us asking lots of big questions. We talked about a study on supershoes for slower athletes, another on red blood cell damage after ultramarathons, and a final study on foam rolling in cyclists. The red blood cell study brought up a fascinating question on the role of science communication in the social media age. Plus there were tons of great topics! Other topics: the pee bowl controversy, Megan's bike power breakthrough, David's 3 tips on health challenges, why Alysia Liu might be our favorite athlete of all time, the SWAP training theory encyclopedia, LT1 v. LT2 workouts, when you're ready to move up to ultras, balancing fun goals and long-term specificity, navigating grief, and our problems with excess intensity in some training approaches.Alysia Liu: “I love sharing my story, my art, and the process of creation. Even if I make mistakes, they don't disappear. Something still remains. They still become part of the story. A bad story is still a story, and I think that's beautiful.”That's also what we say when we burp on the mic. We love you all!

The presence of Latinx people in the American South has long confounded the region's persistent racial binaries. In Making the Latino South: A History of Racial Formation (UNC Press, 2023), Cecilia Márquez uses social and cultural history methods to assess the racial logics that have shaped the Latinx experience in the region since the middle of the twentieth century. Structuring her argument around several major themes that frequently signpost the history of the South and of race relations in the United States--the rise of an increasingly mobile middle class, the civil rights movement and fight over school integration, the growth global connection of the region's economy, and political conflict over immigration--Márquez reveals how Latinx people in the South have confronted both whiteness and antiblackness, and how cultural boundaries to exclude Black people from full participation in the life of the region and nation have been essential to the construction of Latinx as a category.

Welcome to episode 319 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. On today's episode, Ken is joined by David Carrier, a Michigan-based estate planning and elder law attorney and Founder of the Law Offices of David L. Carrier, P.C., with more than three decades of experience helping families protect and preserve life-changing assets. The conversation explores a critical but often overlooked issue for personal injury attorneys: what happens to clients after they receive a major settlement. Ken and David discuss why large awards frequently disappear within months, the psychology behind sudden wealth, and the ethical opportunity law firms have to guide clients beyond the resolution of the case. David explains how tools like irrevocable trusts, structured distributions, and professional co-trustees can help prevent settlements from being lost to overspending, creditors, or poor investments. The discussion also highlights how offering post-settlement guidance can deepen client trust, improve long-term outcomes, and create lasting referral relationships. What you'll learn in this episode:   Why Life-Changing Settlements Often Disappear - How most large awards are spent within 12–18 months - The psychological patterns behind sudden wealth loss Protecting Clients Beyond the Case Resolution - Why "here's your check" isn't enough - The ethical responsibility attorneys have after a settlement Using Irrevocable Trusts to Preserve Wealth - How trusts protect assets from creditors and bad decisions - Why access with structure matters more than lump sums Avoiding the Pitfalls of Annuities and Windfalls - Why annuities often fail to solve long-term problems - How structured planning slows spending and improves outcomes Turning Post-Settlement Care Into Long-Term Value - Strengthening client relationships through ongoing guidance - How better follow-through leads to trust, referrals, and reputation growth Resources:  Website: davidcarrierlaw.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/davidlcarrier Facebook: facebook.com/DavidCarrierLawInstagram: instagram.com/davidcarrier_law/?hl=en   Additional Resources:    https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind AI for PI Expo:   www.pilmma.org/ai-for-pi-expo

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo works with Dan Wentzel to confront two of the biggest silent killers of progress: over-preparation and inefficiency. What starts as a check-in on wins and challenges quickly turns into a deep dive on mindset resistance, wasted time, and why "getting ready" often becomes the reason offers never get sent.   Alex challenges Dan to stop treating seller calls like exams, start having real human conversations, and simplify the process of getting offers out the door. This episode is a blend of mindset reset and tactical clarity—designed to help action-takers stop overthinking and start executing.     You'll Learn How To: Break free from over-preparation that's killing your momentum Have confident seller conversations without scripts or perfect data Identify and track the KPIs that actually drive acquisitions Simplify the offer process so speed doesn't come at the cost of confidence Reclaim wasted time and refocus on needle-moving actions     What You'll Learn in This Episode: [1:16] Why this season is built on real-time accountability [4:37] The mindset voice that tells you to quit—and how to shut it down [9:41] Why unmet expectations fuel doubt and hesitation [13:36] Massive imperfect action vs. waiting for certainty [19:18] "Data, not drama": why KPIs matter more than feelings [23:13] The four acquisition KPIs Dan must track weekly [29:15] How over-preparing for calls is costing deals [32:07] The only information you truly need to make an offer [34:39] Why counting units online is a waste of time [37:47] Making conservative offers without killing opportunity [45:09] Simplifying the process to increase offers and conversations [50:28] Structuring the day for efficiency instead of burnout [55:44] Dan's commitment going forward       Who This Episode Is For: Investors who feel busy but aren't producing offers Listeners stuck overthinking calls, deals, or next steps Anyone struggling to balance preparation with execution People who need clarity on what actions truly matter     Why You Should Listen:   Most people don't fail in self-storage because they lack knowledge—they fail because they create friction where none is required. This episode shows how overthinking, inefficiency, and poor time use quietly stall progress.   If you've ever said, "I just need to prepare a little more before I act," this episode will help you recognize the trap—and get out of it.     Follow Alex Pardo here: Alex Pardo Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Alex Pardo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Alex Pardo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 Alex Pardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/     Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

Episode Overview In this powerful episode, John Kitchens sits down with industry powerhouse Kendall Bonner to talk about building true authority in real estate. From launching the CLIMBR Community to creating the Industry Speaks Academy, Kendall breaks down how agents can elevate from local operator to industry voice. They dive deep into personal branding, performance credibility, referral credibility, AI leverage, and why now is the time to stop playing small. If you've ever thought about growing beyond transactions — into influence, impact, and scale — this episode is your blueprint. Because the future belongs to those who learn, unlearn, and relearn. Key Topics Covered The Climber Community: Raising the Industry Standard Why today's real estate industry is drowning in noise The shift from information economy to trust economy How AI is accelerating both opportunity and skill gaps Why agents must look outside the industry for innovation Building a brand-agnostic, global community focused on growth Kendall explains how Climber Community was born from a mastermind moment — and why it exists to help agents adapt faster than the market changes. The Trust Crisis in Real Estate Most transparent time in history — yet least trusting AI-generated content and credibility challenges Why sales skepticism is at an all-time high The importance of leading with transparency In a world where consumers question everything, trust becomes your greatest differentiator. Personal Brand vs. Industry Brand Kendall breaks down the difference between: Building a scalable personal brand Elevating into an industry-level voice Diversifying marketing beyond traditional lead gen Structuring your business for scale using AI Her advice: Before you grow louder, grow more organized. The Credibility Gap: Why Most Speakers Never Break Through Kendall introduces her three-level credibility framework from the Industry Speaks Academy: Street Credibility You must have real experience and expertise. No shortcuts. Performance Credibility You must put in reps. Small rooms → Mid-size rooms → Large stages. One speech is not enough. Referral Credibility Event organizers need signals: Professional speaker assets Stage footage (not podcasts) Referrals from trusted sources Most aspiring speakers skip steps 2 and 3 — and never understand why opportunities stall. Why Speaking Changes Everything Being on stage: Opens rooms you'd never otherwise enter Puts you face-to-face with decision makers Expands your influence beyond production Elevates your perceived authority instantly Kendall shares how stages transformed her career — connecting her with CEOs, brand leaders, and national organizations. AI as Your Strategic Thought Partner Instead of fearing AI, Kendall recommends: Using AI to operationalize your business Organizing systems for scale Creating structure before growth Treating AI like a business consultant Scale doesn't come from hustle alone. It comes from structure. Resources Mentioned Climber Community → climbercommunity.com Industry Speaks Academy → speakonrealestatestages.com Authority Gap Assessment Speaker Readiness Checklist The Road Less Stupid – Keith Cunningham Alvin Toffler quote on learning, unlearning, relearning Final Takeaway The quality of your life — and your business — is a direct reflection of what you make non-negotiable. If you want to grow beyond transactions: Structure your business Build credibility intentionally Put in the reps Seek rooms that stretch you Learn, unlearn, relearn Because in 2026 and beyond, authority won't belong to the loudest voice. It will belong to the most prepared one.

From social worker to sourdough entrepreneur—Elaine Dubbe turned a friend's encouragement and a 106-year-old sourdough starter into Hello Simple; a business teaching hands-on sourdough classes across Minnesota. Elaine moved to Cologne, Minnesota in December 2023 and started by simply posting in the local Facebook group asking if anyone wanted to learn sourdough. Twenty-five people said yes. Now she's teaching sold-out classes at wineries, breweries, and venues from the Arboretum to Sapsucker Farms in Mora.In this episode, we talk about the realities of building a business while raising two young daughters, how western Carver County has been "wildly supportive" of small business owners, and why keeping things simple is at the heart of everything she does.WHAT WE COVERThe winding path from Upper Peninsula Michigan through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Nebraska, and finally to Cologne, Minnesota. How her sourdough starter has been passed down for 106 years and why that matters for beginners. What you actually need to start a food-based business in Minnesota, including the cottage food producer license, forming an LLC, and getting insurance coverage. The trial-and-error of pricing creative services when there's no established market. Building community connections as a newcomer through Oakwood Community Church, local schools, and Logan Pass coffee house. Why she's chosen Facebook and Instagram over TikTok and YouTube to stay focused on real human connection. Structuring a business around young kids and leaning on your village of support. What happens at a Sourdough 101 class and what participants take home. Her dream of a brick-and-mortar location with a teaching kitchen and boutique.Elaine's advice for anyone thinking about turning a hobby into a business: start small, take the chance, and follow where the business wants to go rather than forcing it in a direction.ABOUT COLOGNE, MINNESOTACologne is part of western Carver County along the Highway 212 corridor, about 35 miles southwest of Minneapolis. Elaine describes it as a mix of old and new—the original Cologne, established neighborhoods south of 212, and newer developments to the north where young families are putting down roots. It's a small town with a strong sense of community that's proven to be welcoming to newcomers and supportive of local entrepreneurs.ABOUT THIS PODCASTLiving IN Carver County is hosted by Greg Anderson, a Carver County real estate professional with RE/MAX Advisors West who has sold over 3,000 homes since 1985. This podcast features conversations with the people who make Carver County the best place to live, work, and raise a family—from Chaska and Chanhassen to Victoria, Waconia, Cologne, Carver, Mayer, and Norwood Young America.CONNECTHello Simple (Elaine's business): hellosimple.comHost: Greg Anderson, RE/MAX Advisors WestSubstack: HelloIamGregAnderson.substack.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/gregoryrandersonLiving In Carver County—Connecting friends, building community.

Are you relying on the sale of your practice to fund your retirement? Before you accept an attractive offer from a DSO, it's critical to understand what those numbers really mean — and what alternatives exist.In this episode, Kirk Behrendt interviews Dr. Bob Margeas, founder of Iowa Dental Group in Des Moines, Iowa, about how he evaluated multiple DSO offers, broke down EBITDA and earn-outs, and ultimately chose a different transition strategy. They discuss adjusted EBITDA, recap risk, associate buy-ins, creative ownership structures, and why equity matters more than a headline purchase price. If you're considering selling your practice — or simply want to understand your options — listen to Episode 1010 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysEBITDA is calculated differently than a dentist's net income and often includes add-backs that significantly change a practice's valuation.Most DSOs evaluate practices on an accrual basis rather than cash basis accounting, which affects perceived profitability.Earn-outs and recapitalization payouts are tied to performance and market conditions and are not guaranteed.Selling to a DSO typically requires the dentist to stay for several years, effectively replacing future EBITDA with the sale proceeds.Structuring an associate buy-in based on trailing three-year profits can allow debt to be serviced without increasing production.Ownership equity creates long-term wealth potential that an associate-only model does not provide.Dentists who are financially independent have more flexibility and leverage when evaluating transition options.Snippets00:00 Intro03:00 The difference between a DSO and a DPO.05:00 Understanding EBITDA and common add-backs.08:00 Why DSOs prefer accrual accounting over cash basis.10:00 How earn-outs and clawbacks work.13:30 Hiring an associate based on personality and communication skills.15:00 Structuring a 20% buy-in using trailing three-year profits.17:00 Reducing clinical days while maintaining profitability.21:00 Merging practices into a holding company model.24:00 Why saving early creates flexibility at transition.30:00 “I'm just a referee” — communicating treatment without pressure.34:00 Why equity ownership is essential for long-term wealth.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesDr. Bob Margeas is the founder of Iowa Dental Group in Des Moines, Iowa.

In this episode, host Travis Chappell sits down with Seth Silvers, founder and CEO of Story On, one of the premier podcast production agencies helping businesses build authority through storytelling. Seth and his team work with top-tier creators and brands—including Alex Hormozi, Leila Hormozi, and Patrick Lencioni—and support numerous Top 100 business podcasts. Seth shares his journey from taking on almost any marketing work he could find to building a premium podcast agency, along with hard-earned lessons on pricing, positioning, and why podcasting is one of the most powerful long-term branding tools available today. On this episode we talk about: How Seth accidentally turned podcasting into a full-time business Using podcasts to build trust and credibility (even without massive downloads) Why most podcasters struggle to monetize—and a better path forward Structuring service offers and pricing without racing to the bottom The future of podcasting: video, branding, and podcasts as a business asset Top 3 Takeaways: Podcasting creates a “transfer of trust.” When people see you show up with quality, they assume you bring that same standard to everything you do. Pricing clarity changes everything. Seth credits implementing ideas from Profit First as a major turning point in getting out of debt and building a sustainable business. Premium clients care more about results than price. Solving higher-level problems for established businesses beats competing on cost every time. Notable Quotes “People see you show up in a quality way, and they transfer that trust to everything else you do.” “If you want us to actually do it for you, it's going to be a premium—but we also have resources for every level.” “Podcasting isn't a quick customer-acquisition tool. It's a multi-channel brand that builds trust over years.” Connect with Seth Silvers: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethsilvers/ Website: storyon.co Blog: https://storyon.co/blog Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Oh hey y'all.This conversation with Jason Shurka stretched me in the best way.

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Ty Richardson, CEO of One Global Business Financing Corporation, joined Doug Green to discuss one of the most consequential realities facing MSP owners: at some point, you will either acquire—or be acquired. Richardson outlined how today's M&A environment has expanded beyond large “behemoth” firms, enabling even $1–$5 million MSPs to pursue viable exit strategies or strategic acquisitions. One Global Business Financing Corporation operates as a capital advisor and intermediary, working between MSPs and a broad network of lenders, private credit firms, family offices, SBA providers, and private equity sources. “We do the work so that you don't have to,” Richardson explained. Rather than forcing MSPs to navigate banks and paperwork alone, his firm evaluates financial positioning, collects documentation, surveys more than 6,000 capital providers, and returns with structured options tailored to the owner's goals—whether that means a line of credit, equipment financing, a term loan, real estate acquisition, or full M&A funding. Richardson emphasized that financing strategy begins years before a sale. MSPs planning an exit in three to five years must structure recurring revenue, strengthen contracts, build leadership teams, and maintain solid financial reporting. “If you are structuring yourself for a sale, the one thing you should be thinking about is how do I make this easy for a buyer to qualify?” he said. That preparation can significantly impact valuation and buyer confidence. The conversation also highlighted alternative deal structures, including partial acquisitions, staged buyouts, and SBA-backed transactions for smaller firms. Richardson noted that many MSPs initially assume they simply “need a loan,” when in reality more tax-efficient or strategically structured financing solutions may exist. The firm often works in consultation with tax professionals and legal advisors to optimize long-term positioning. Finally, Richardson advised MSP owners to begin networking early if a sale is on the horizon. By cultivating relationships over several years, owners may find qualified buyers privately—avoiding the noise and unqualified interest that often comes with broadly marketing a business for sale.

Schedule a call here: https://go.oncehub.com/bookacall How Private Lenders Can Get A+ Opportunities - #325 In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Jason and Chris break down how private and hard money lenders can consistently create A+ lending opportunities—even when working with borrowers who don't fit the traditional "A borrower" profile. Rather than chasing high-volume institutional borrowers, this conversation focuses on how private lenders can structure safer, more profitable deals by properly underwriting collateral, character, capacity, and credit. Learn how experienced lenders turn so-called "B borrowers" into strong, low-risk opportunities through smart leverage, cash requirements, and deal structuring. This episode also dives into why marketing equals portfolio quality, how playing the numbers game leads to better loans, and why private lenders shouldn't try to compete with institutional capital—but instead position themselves as the ideal Plan B lender. Topics covered include: What truly defines an A+ lending opportunity A borrowers vs. B borrowers (and why labels can be misleading) Structuring low-LTV deals for maximum downside protection The 4 C's of underwriting: collateral, character, capacity, and credit Why leverage—not borrower quality—is often the biggest risk How marketing drives deal flow and portfolio strength When and why private lenders should pass on deals Real-world examples of turning imperfect borrowers into great loans If you're a private lender, hard money lender, or real estate investor looking to deploy capital more safely while improving returns, this episode offers practical insights you can apply immediately. ✅ Please like, subscribe, and share! ✅ Are you a new or experienced private lender or hard money lender?
