In this episode of The Sharpen Podcast, Steve Van Diest sits down with Dan Martella, who leads business development for Bennett Thrasher. They discuss how growth-minded business owners can move beyond reactive compliance and build advisory relationships that support stronger decisions, better capacity, and long-term growth.

Dan shares insight on state and local tax challenges, founder-led sales, owner dependency, business valuation, delegation, professional advice, and the personal leadership work required to let go of control and show up with authenticity.
