What is your company’s value? Can that value be replicated if you decide to leave?

On today’s episode, host Roland Frasier breaks down transferable value, what it means, and how value drivers significantly impact your company’s market valuation.

Transferable value is simply what a business is worth to someone else if the owner decides to leave. If you have plans of one day exiting your business, you must understand the process of creating and maintaining transferable value. However, the thing to note here is that transferable value is not the same as profit. Just because your company makes a ton of money yearly does not necessarily mean it has transferable value.  

Listen in to learn how you can build transferable value in your business and create an exit plan that dramatically increases your company’s value drivers.  

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• What is transferable value?
• The five most common ways to exit a business
• How to move your business towards a higher valuation
• Factors that impact the growth of a business
• Industries with the biggest expansion opportunities
• The three main components of building transferable value
• How to build a stable and motivated team capable of growing your business.
• Operating systems that improve the sustainability of cash flows

If you’ve ever given free advice, you may have noticed that when someone doesn’t pay for it, they often don’t take action. That’s reason enough to start charging for advice - and what better way to get paid than to receive equity in exchange? 

On today’s episode, host Roland Frasier breaks down how you can leverage your knowledge and expertise to build a profitable consulting business and get paid in equity. 

Have you ever met a brain picker? You know, that guy on LinkedIn who wants to hop on a 15-minute call to ask you something about your business. Well, that’s time, experience, and potential business wasted giving advice to someone who’s probably never going to implement that advice. You see, people don’t value free things. And according to Ryan, your experience is far too valuable to give out for free. 

Tune in to learn how you can use your professional experience to provide ideas, insight, and intelligence to those looking to grow their business - and get paid both in cash and equity.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• The drawbacks of giving out free advice
• Best industries to set up a consulting business
• How to start consulting for equity

All business plans are full of assumptions. And while we can’t accurately say whether a business will be profitable, we can focus on making educated assumptions.

On today’s episode, host Roland Frasier tackles mental models and business assumptions. He also goes through basic strategies world-leading thinkers use to solve complex problems. 

We all make assumptions. In fact, anything you can’t prove is an assumption. Unfortunately, many of our assumptions are incorrect, which is why Roland believes business owners must embrace the idea of first principles. The first principles concept is essentially breaking down complex problems and then reassembling them from the ground up. All this starts with questioning your beliefs and drilling down to the foundational truths of a problem.

Tune in to learn how you can stop making assumptions in your business, see the bigger picture, and make decisions based on actual facts. 

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

• The advantages of questioning your beliefs and assumptions in business
• Validation testing and why it’s so important
• First principles and the building blocks of true knowledge
• Why focus groups don’t always give an accurate picture of reality
• Comparing the effectiveness of customer surveys versus online reviews
• How to create a business model based on facts and not assumptions
• How world-leading experts solve problems through fundamental assumptions 
• What happens when we stop assuming and start testing facts?

What’s next in the Elon-Twitter saga? 

Ryan and Roland sit down to discuss practical ways the Twitter-Elon saga will end -- and why Twitter deciding to take Musk to court might not be such a great idea.

In July 2022, Elon Musk withdrew his $44 billion bid to take over Twitter, citing a material breach. Twitter responded quickly by taking legal action to force Musk to honor his commitment. However, the courts now want Twitter to reveal their site’s bot data. And while Twitter is focused on bringing out the heavy artillery, Elon is out tweeting memes of himself and outwardly mocking the Twitter board on their own platform. 

The big question remains, who will win if the saga breaks into an all-out legal war? Will Elon eventually buy Twitter now that their stocks are on a downward trend? 

Listen in as Roland and Ryan discuss key takeaways and learnings from the recent Elon Musk-Twitter Saga!

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• The Elon-Twitter saga continues
• Spam bot info and what that means
• The story behind Elon’s memes from a marketing perspective
• How to use memes to reinforce a narrative
• What does Elon really want from Twitter?
• Twitter stock drops, and investor concerns over the saga
• The theory of vertical integration
• How to use vertical integration to scale your business
