Before you buy or sell a business, hear Josh Levine on the nuances and evolving trends in the business acquisition landscape.

In today’s podcast episode, I am joined again (see episode 5) by Josh Levine of Private Market Labs where we talk about:


  • Importance of Focus: Presenting a clear and specific investment thesis helps you stand out to brokers and streamlines the decision-making process.
  • Role of Brokers: Using brokers can expedite the acquisition process and increase the likelihood of closure, although the quality of brokers can vary.
  • Market Dynamics: The increase in searcher activity and higher interest rates are significantly shaping the current business acquisition environment.
  • Economic Impact: Covid-19 and interest rate changes have introduced new challenges but also opened up opportunities in the market.
  • Mentorship and Support: Engaging with mentors and support networks is crucial for navigating the complexities of buying and running a business.


Listen in for valuable perspectives on navigating the acquisition process, industry trends, and the future outlook for buyers and sellers.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
