Acquire Wisely By Building Smart Deals

We recently sat down for a podcast interview to talk through what I’ve learned from over 60 transactions and $1.5B in capital allocated—what works, what surprises founders, and what can quietly kill a deal when you’re this close 🤏🏼 to the finish line.

We cover:

  • The real emotional cost of selling a business

  • What buyers look for—but rarely say out loud

  • Why founder-owned companies need a different kind of process

  • And how to protect your upside without overcomplicating your path to close

If you’re thinking about selling—or just want to be ready when the time comes—I think you’ll find it useful.

In this episode, Candor Advisors founder Kirk Michie shares what he’s learned from 30+ years advising founders and families on the art—and science—of selling a business.
