  • Great podcast!

    Raja Skogland's episode was truly illuminating. The depth of knowledge she conveyed about startups and business expansion left a significant impact on me. Raja's acumen in cultivating brands, securing funds, and escalating businesses struck a chord with my own interests. Her career shift from private banking and wealth management to actively aiding startups was particularly inspiring and offered fresh perspectives.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Burnout to a Turnkey Exit with Mike Brcic
Q: What mistakes did you make early in the sales process?
Trying to sell without proper positioning, not keeping a clean minute book, and engaging with a buyer who subjected him to intense due diligence that could have been avoided with better upfront vetting and broker guidance.
From Burnout to a Turnkey Exit with Mike Brcic
Q: What deal structures did you prefer during the exit?
He preferred a structure with a quick exit, little to no earn-outs, and a short transitional period, typically receiving half upfront and the rest over several months, then a brief transition period as a salaried employee.
From Burnout to a Turnkey Exit with Mike Brcic
Q: What were the key indicators that signaled it was time to prepare for an exit?
Burnout and misalignment with the business, followed by a deliberate move to systematize, delegate, and document until the business could run with minimal founder involvement.
From Burnout to a Turnkey Exit with Mike Brcic
Q: How did you get started in entrepreneurship?
He moved to the Canadian Rockies after university, tried a few jobs, realized he didn't want corporate life, and started a guiding business with mountain bikes after a friend suggested it.
From Operator to Investor: Mastering Business Valuation and the Exit Journey with Saul Cohen
Q: What are some things that people listening now, if they're operating a business, can do to prepare their books two to three years out?
Saul emphasizes building a basic understanding of valuation, recognizing that top-end market buyers value competitive advantage and IP differently, and ensuring you have a clear process for winning work, a solid organizational structure, and documented risk factors so the business can be valued under different scenarios. He also urges owners to avoid conflating tax optimization with valuation and to start articulating and codifying processes and knowledge to protect IP and revenue streams.
