I recently had the chance to chat with @JohnWarrillow on his brilliant podcast, @BuiltToSell. 🎙️ Since then, I’ve received a flurry of DMs, especially about our dive into the Creator vs. Investor personality types (starts at 20:58 of the episode). This concept has been a pivotal tool for me in navigating life after a big exit. I’m truly thankful to John for giving me the platform to share my framework with his audience. Encouraged by the feedback, I’m now crafting an article on this very topic, aiming for release later this week. Stay tuned! Meanwhile, I highly recommend the episode. John’s knack for cutting to the core of complex issues is unmatched — not surprising, considering he’s the author of the bestseller on maximizing exit value: BuiltToSell.com. John’s deep, thoughtful questions not only enriched the interview; they’ve given me a lot to reflect on. I’m eager for you all to listen and share your thoughts! #exitparadox #postexit #exitedfounder #postexitfounder youtube.com/watch?v=4PJP4kKz…

Just interviewed @fbinegotiator Chris Voss, author of “Never Split the Difference” for @BuiltToSell Radio podcast. Talked punching above you weight in a negotiation to sell your business. I took pages of notes. Will drop in 9 days

#1: @Kevin_McArdle left his corporate job at 38 years old to buy and grow SaaS . He went on to acquire dozens of B2B SaaS companies at @SureSwiftCap and now @bigbandsoftware where he acquires $1M to $10M ARR companies. He recently talked about his story on @BuiltToSell pod.

Golden rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. Platinum rule: treat others as they would like to be treated. Unexpected nugget of wisdom from recent @BuiltToSell episode.

Listening to a pod with an investor comparing their role finding companies to buy as a tracker hunting his prey. Good to remember as an entrepreneur, you’re his kill.

1/5: The value of your business can be determined by a valuation professional, but the most accurate value of your company is best determined by creating a transparent market for your company through a structured M&A process.

The clip below from my recent interview with Spencer Thompson reminds me of Warren Buffett’s approach to buying companies. Buffett agrees to the deal terms with a founder on a single 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.

What’s old is new again. Face-to-face selling is making a comeback. Here’s Marc Lafleur describing how he signed up subscribers for his meat delivery business the old-fashioned way: “ground & pound.” p1.

1 thing I've not been great at is sharing my experiences of growing an exiting a biz. It felt like a boast. A reframe has helped me see that my experiences can help. So I'm starting with @JohnWarrillow @BuiltToSell on my my last #exit >> Hope it helps! >> open.spotify.com/episode/4sF…

Thanks for the shout out @RichLeighPR - hoping that sharing the story via the @BuiltToSell podcast helps other #founders understand the importance of what I call 'the principle of generosity' in creating much more value and enjoyment than you can alone..!
For ~a year, I’ve been learning from and developing @HeyRadioactive with the brilliant @simonpenson, who sold his merged content agency for tens of millions. I used to think I could do it all by myself, but… turns out that’s a pretty lonely place to be! open.spotify.com/episode/4sF…
