Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

0048 - Inside a Real Business Acquisition: Mistakes, Due Diligence, and Deal Structure
Q: What were the biggest structural mistakes in the deal, and what would you do differently now?
Sharing a single attorney, misunderstanding corporate structure (S-corp/LLC), and misjudging capital raises (Reg D) led to tax and financing hiccups; if repeating, he'd ensure independent counsel and explore more flexible corporate structures from the start.
0048 - Inside a Real Business Acquisition: Mistakes, Due Diligence, and Deal Structure
Q: How did you approach the decision to buy Velocity and scale it?
He and his partner identified an opportunity, learned the business quickly, implemented EOS, added leadership, and focused on turning a restoration service into a scalable product line with a repeatable process, which unlocked growth.
0048 - Inside a Real Business Acquisition: Mistakes, Due Diligence, and Deal Structure
Q: What about that job made you think this isn't going to be it forever?
The realization that the Navy lifestyle wasn't sustainable long-term for him, combined with the constant high workload, rotations, and desire for more entrepreneurial control, pushed him toward real estate and eventually into owning a business.
0042 - From CFO to Laundromat Owner: Why Buying a Business Beats Starting One
Q: What was the big picture view of Sarah's portfolio before and after the laundromat decision?
Sarah explains her shift from traditional real estate investing and bookkeeping to acquiring a laundromat, highlighting how the stability of an established business, combined with real estate attached to the operation, created a tax-advantaged path and a more manageable platform for growth.
0041 - How to Buy Your First Business: A Beginner Coaching Session
Q: Is prior industry-specific skill required to buy a business?
Not necessarily; with the capacity to learn and good long-term employees, someone can buy a business outside their prior expertise and learn on the job while leveraging existing staff.
