@acquanon @BillDA @EndresenHeather @thegeneralmills @girdley Love your show! New follower listening to them from the beginning I do wonder, did you do any episodes that provide context? As in, do normal investors with money actually buy 2-3 companies like these or is this just for managers of funds? Who is the target listener etc
@acquanon Interesting pod! Some notable things about Masters: 1) They give CBS and ESPN broadcasting rights for $0 2) They make $65+ million on merch sales 3) And most relevant to the business for sale, the Masters has started selling premium packages which will undercut broker sales
@LawRuebens36723 Great point. I definitely recommend that ETA folks just getting into the game find industry insiders/veterans/gurus who are willing to share what it's *really* like to own and operate. Some great podcasts in this space to get a good preview like: @OwnedOperatedco…

If you want to learn about business, I highly recommend our podcast. We talk about one company for sale each week. Have fun and teach each other some stuff.
Happy Tuesday everyone, We brought a juicy deal we found on @acquiredotcom in today's episode. It is a Shopify App for Mexican e-commerce. Could this deal actually get done? @girdley @EndresenHeather @BillDA @thegeneralmills talked about a lot of the nuances and what it's like…
I read the HBS Guide years ago. After I sold my tech company, I decided to pursue the, decidedly non-tech, ETA path alone. Finding the @AcquiringMinds_ and @acquanon podcasts recently was validating. Following the entirety of SMB/ETA Twitter in the last week = massive unlock. 👋

@girdley @RealEstateAnon @acquanon Have I listened? Only to every episode...
@girdley ✅ Listened to the podcasts (@AcquiringMinds_, @acquanon) ✅ Spoke with current and former searchers and 0 to 1 entrepreneurs ✅ Built the website, warmed up the email ✅ Identified the right deal team (QoE, legal, potential lenders)
✅ Read the books (HBR, Buy then Build, Stanford materials) ✅ Soaked up insights on Twitter and Searchfunder ✅ Took the @girdley sourcing course ✅ Started building my broker network in my target geo - Colorado (let me know if I missed any good ones)
@acquanon @girdley @thegeneralmills Uh oh, *this* episode is out. 😂
“Rent a Brand” This is where you get paid by others to let others use your brand. One is a business we had on @acquanon They run competitions where wineries pay to enter. You win? An award on your label. It profits $900k/year. Working 5 hrs/week.
