In this week’s episode, we talk about the importance of financial management and planning for small businesses, especially in preparation for potential acquisitions or exits - but with my guest’s very interesting background as the backdrop.

As we explore the topic, this week’s guest takes us through various aspects of his life, including his journey as an athlete, his experiences in business, and his involvement in podcasting and writing. 

He also reflects on his athletic journey, particularly his involvement in endurance sports like Ironman competitions, and how they intersect with his professional life. 

He shares anecdotes all the way from the time he attempted to make the soccer team in college, to later in life transitioning to his business endeavors.

Finally, he touches on his book, "The Turnaround: What Surviving Bankruptcy Taught Me About Achieving Success in Business and Life," which he wrote to provide insights and guidance for small business owners navigating difficult financial situations. 

Overall, this episode underscores the significance of endurance, resilience, and strategic planning in both personal and professional realms…
