Legacy Over Revenue: What Really Matters in Business | Legacy Advisors EP01

In this debut episode of the Legacy Advisors Podcast, co-hosts Kris Jones and Ed Button Jr. lay the foundation for a show built around more than business, it’s about story, values, and building something that actually lasts.

They share war stories from the trenches:

• How Ed grew a fourth-generation family business from 2 million to 130 million gallons through smart M&A and roll-ups
• Why Kris turned down early offers and ultimately sold Pepperjam to eBay (after learning M&A the hard way)
• What happens after the exit, and why so few entrepreneurs talk about that chapter
• Why financial literacy is the founder’s most underdeveloped superpower
• The hard truths about scaling, hiring, cash flow, and the myth of “if you build it, they will come”

Whether you’re just getting started or you’re gearing up for a sale, this episode offers raw insights from two operators who’ve lived it, and built legacies of their own.
