Absolutely fantastic episode, you revealed what too many founders miss: acquirers don’t buy your revenue, they buy your assets-in-motion. The way you and Chris Hutchins laid out how team, IP, roadmap, and momentum matter more than EBITDA was eye-opening. A brilliant guide for anyone building from legacy to lift-off.
I have learned so much from this show!

A must listen if you’re interested in entrepreneurship.

So often, conversations around business growth stay on the surface of numbers and deals, but here you created space for the psychology, the human lens, the why behind the moves.
I admit I’m not a big fan of John Warrillow’s original book Built to Last, but when it comes to interviewing and drawing out the best from his guests, I have to admit—he’s a master. He selects people of the highest quality to interview. Where he finds these people? God only knows. But sure as hell, it takes tremendous effort, time, and dedication to find these people, not to mention getting them to agree to spill out their beans and deals. He asks sharp questions. He listens even better. He move... more
