  • Great Content but Lacking Speech

    Kept saying “Uhhhh” or “You Know”. It’s annoying. Hard to imagine he was a lawyer. Other than that, great podcast

  • Great episodes for M&A education!

    John Warrillow Making Your Business Attractive to Buyers episode is my favorite. Loving his take on multiples and obsessing over your profit. Really helps me understand the M&A world. Love this podcast.

  • Great Content but Lacking Speech

    If I had every penny for every time I heard “You know”, I’d be rich! Almost half of the podcast is filled with “You know”
