In this episode, Dr. Leeanne Aguilar sits down with Austin Tenette, Senior Business Advisor at Transworld Business Advisors and creator of the Prepare to Sell coaching program. Together, they explore how business owners—especially in light of the “Silver Tsunami” of baby boomer retirements—can prepare to sell their businesses for maximum value.
Austin shares insights from his career transition from corporate leadership to business coaching and brokerage. He outlines three essential pillars for selling a business successfully.
He also discusses common valuation pitfalls, like “key man syndrome,” overreliance on personal relationships, and poor financial recordkeeping. The conversation emphasizes the importance of starting exit planning 3–5 years in advance, and how coaching, peer groups, and KPIs can help business owners stay focused, scale sustainably, and create transferable value.
Whether you're planning your exit or just getting started, this episode offers practical strategies and eye-opening truths every entrepreneur should hear.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
