Exit Algorithms

Capital strategy, raising $300M for founders, the LBOS framework, AI in operations, and why less than 5% of businesses ever reach $10M in revenue. Tyrus Shivers, Air Force veteran, serial entrepreneur, and founder of Legacy Wealth Capital Group, joins Exit Algorithms to break down why capital is the root of every business problem and what to do about it.

Tyrus went from medically retiring out of the Air Force to government contracting, property management, running operations for ET the Hip Hop Preacher, and ultimately founding Legacy Wealth Capital Group, where he has helped founders raise over $300 million in growth capital.

We cover:

– How Tyrus went from zero to 220 units and $1.2M in revenue in 18 months using property management, why he shut it down instead of selling it, and what that $200,000 loss taught him about exits

– Why capital is the root of every business problem: from hiring a COO to running paid ads to implementing AI tools, everything comes back to capital

– How to build a capital stack from day one: bootstrapping, friends and family, angel investors, Reg D 506, Reg CF equity crowdfunding, and when to start talking to institutional investors

– Why most business owners ask for too little when raising capital and why an investor once told Tyrus that $150,000 was not enough to ask for

– What the Legacy Business Operating System is and why it adds a capital layer that EOS, Scaling Up, and every other operating system leaves out entirely

– Why business owners need to stop thinking of their company as a baby and start thinking of it as an asset, and how that shift is what makes exits possible

– How Legacy Wealth is using AI agents as setters, appointment confirmers, and productivity amplifiers while keeping a Navy SEAL-sized core team

– Why Tyrus plans to take Legacy Wealth public in five to seven years and what that growth through acquisition strategy looks like

– Tyrus's practical tip: get crystal clear on your vision before anything else. If you cannot make fast decisions it means you are not clear. Clarity on vision is free and it is the foundation of everything.

Veteran to Deloitte to founder: how Ted Fyock built a tech-enabled freight brokerage from scratch, navigated the fraud epidemic destroying trust across the industry, and is using AI and proprietary data tools to scale without bloating headcount. Ted Fyock, Army armor officer turned Deloitte consultant and founder and CEO of Carolina Expressways, joins Exit Algorithms to share what it really takes to break into freight brokerage and build something that lasts.

Ted spent 12 years at Deloitte after commissioning as a second lieutenant in the Army, where he dual-hatted as a logistics officer moving large loads and freight. He now runs Carolina Expressways, a people-first freight brokerage specializing in the Eastern seaboard and Midwest, while developing Network Forge, a proprietary predictive intelligence and logistics data platform.

We cover:

– How leading tanks and serving as a logistics officer in the Army gave Ted the leadership, problem-solving, and decision-making foundation that Deloitte and entrepreneurship would later demand

– Why fraud and organized crime have turned the freight industry against itself: brokers do not trust brokers, shippers do not trust brokers, and carriers do not trust anyone, and what a new brokerage has to do to survive that environment

– Why the future of freight brokerage is very small teams with AI as a force multiplier, and why scaling revenue without scaling headcount is the entire strategy

– Why the freight and logistics industry has been a slow adopter of AI and why that is actually a massive opportunity for tech-enabled operators willing to move now

– Ted's practical tip: manage your expenses, know exactly where your money is going, and save everything you can for when you actually need to deploy it

Sales psychology, hustle culture myths, commercialization strategy, AI in sales, and why clarity beats talent every single time.

Dr. Deepak Bhootra, world-class sales expert and founder of Jabalani Consulting and Rise Up at Work, joins Exit Algorithms to challenge everything founders and sales leaders think they know about selling and scaling.

Deepak spent 30 years in corporate sales across South Africa, India, and the US, worked one on one with over 1,500 professionals, and advises six founders today.

We cover:

– Why 35% of salespeople exit the function by age 35 and why systemic leadership failures are the real cause
– Why selling to serve always beats selling to close, and why "if I build it they will come" founders run out of cash first
– Why founders do 3X more demos than mature enterprise sales orgs and why that is a sign your metrics are broken
– Why clarity beats talent every single time: clarity and structure eat both culture and strategy for breakfast
– Why CRM systems were never designed to make salespeople better and why top performers spend under 60 minutes per week in them
– How commercialization now means building something predictable, repeatable, and flexible before AI blurs every competitive boundary
– Why AI will not take sales jobs but your colleague already using it might

Serial exits, earn out traps, index fund risks, crypto strategy, and AI disruption in financial advising from a CFP with a doctorate in computer science.

Dr. Adam Link, founder of Fireweed Capital and former senior engineering manager at Coinbase, joins Exit Algorithms to break down what business owners get wrong about investing, exits, and building wealth that lasts.

Adam has exited three companies, was at Coinbase through its IPO, and built Fireweed Capital for tech founders and tech families who need an advisor that speaks their language.

We cover:

– From investment banking to three exits to the Coinbase IPO: how all of it led Adam to found Fireweed Capital
– The earn out trap from his first exit: he and the acquirer had completely different definitions of what hitting the metrics meant, and he who has the gold makes the rules
– Why the $50,000 threshold is the real benchmark for deciding whether to sue over a contract dispute
– Why index funds break down in real life: the efficient market hypothesis is not true, humans hate losing twice as much as they love winning, and "just hold on" is not real financial advice
– Why business owners should play defense with their portfolios since their offense is already in the business
– Why Adam skips individual crypto coins but is excited about real world asset tokenization as the future of customer ownership for small businesses
– How AI transformed his practice: Claude in real time on client calls, a full marketing funnel built in a weekend for $300, and why multi-agent AI systems are the real future
– Why SaaS companies need to reckon with the fact that a competent engineer with AI can replicate their platform for less than a typical onboarding fee
– Adam's practical tip: spend a quarter planning your exit before it happens. Most owners spend 10 years building and five minutes planning, and end up owing taxes instead of building generational wealth

Lean Six Sigma, waste elimination, process controls, AI in operations, and robotics in logistics from a certified master black belt with Fortune 500 experience across a dozen industries.

Ben Harmsen, Certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt and founder of Hammer Legacy Solutions Group, joins Exit Algorithms to break down why almost every business has 20 to 30% waste hiding in plain sight and exactly how to find it and fix it.

Ben spent 12 years at Chrysler, six years in the Coca-Cola network, and has since worked across 3PLs, manufacturing, e-commerce, and construction. His core insight is simple: the tools do not fail, the culture does.

We cover:

– Why almost every business has at least 20 to 30% waste regardless of how profitable it looks, and why most owners never see it because they mistake profitability for doing things right
– What Lean Six Sigma actually is at a simple level: lean reduces the eight types of waste using the DOWNTIME framework, and Six Sigma reduces variation using data and the DMAIC process
– Why lean fails almost every time not because of the methodology but because leadership does not champion it, and why culture will always devour strategy
– Why the first question Ben asks in any audit is "can you show me the process?" and why the answer almost always reveals the real problem
– How to do a waste walk in your own business today by asking three simple questions about what people are waiting for, what they are reworking, and what is overcomplicated
– How Ben uses ChatGPT for analytics, reporting, scheduling, forecasting, and contract interpretation, and why operators who use AI will replace those who do not
– Why camera systems and AI-powered defect detection are about to become standard across every industry, not just manufacturing
– Why $7,000 warehouse robots that self-charge are already here and what that means for smaller companies who could not afford automation before
– Ben's practical tip: go do a waste walk today, ask simple questions, shine the light on the problem, and measure what matters

Transportation safety, nuclear verdicts, autonomous vehicles, and 3PL scaling strategy from one of the most credentialed safety professionals in trucking.

Bobby McClain, Certified Director of Safety, Certified Transportation Professional, and CEO of Arbitrage Logistics, joins Exit Algorithms to break down what carriers and 3PLs are getting dangerously wrong and what it will cost them.

Bobby has over 35 years of experience in safety, risk management, HR, and 3PL operations with senior leadership roles at ABF Freight, Ward Transport, and JJ Keller. He started as a driver after the Army, crossed from union leadership into corporate management, and completed an AI course at MIT to make sure his opinions were grounded in real education.

We cover:

– Why a single missing non-scoring item in a driver qualification file like a road test can turn a routine claim into a nuclear verdict worth tens of millions
– Why passing a DOT audit with a satisfactory rating means nothing if your DQ files are not pristine for the plaintiff attorney
– What NLRA Section 7 and 8 actually protect in non-union environments and why most business owners do not know their employees have nearly the same rights as unionized workers
– How Bobby identifies a fake culture within 10 minutes of walking into a company
– Where autonomous vehicle technology actually stands on a level one to five scale and what breakthrough is needed to get to full autonomy
– The helium supply chain risk nobody is talking about and why a Qatar bottleneck could disrupt chip production, AI, and fleet technology simultaneously
– Why the wrong 3PL client can bankrupt you faster than any market downturn

Safety scores, compliance, and bookkeeping strategy for trucking companies and fleet operators looking to scale and exit smarter.

Erik Hansen, Certified Director of Safety and founder of Consolidated Business Services (CBS), breaks down why compliance and safety are not the same thing, how poor safety scores kill your business valuation at exit, and how he grew CBS through a strategic acquisition.

We cover:

– Why compliance and safety are not the same thing, and why 15 years of e-log mandates have not prevented a single accident
– How a poor ISS safety score signals a leadership problem to buyers and destroys your valuation at exit
– Why cutting your safety and maintenance departments is one of the most expensive mistakes a carrier can make
– How Erik acquired Wild and Associates, retained 100% of staff, and rebuilt client trust after a failed prior sale
– Why CBS has a strict no-AI policy in bookkeeping, and where AI does belong in transportation safety
– How telematics tools like Motive and Samsara generate real ROI through driver scorecards and incident detection
– Erik's practical tips: do not grow faster than you can control, reassess constantly, and stay as debt-free as possible

#ExitAlgorithms #TruckingBusiness #SafetyCompliance #FleetManagement #BusinessExit #ExitPlanning #GrowthThroughAcquisition #TransportationIndustry #ScaleSmarter #SellStronger

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Condren, Certified Financial Planner and Senior Vice President at Mesirow Wealth Management, a Barron's Top 100 RIA firm with over $11 billion in assets under management.

Jeff was named a Forbes 2024 Best in State Top Next Gen Wealth Advisor and has spent two decades guiding business owners and families through the most complex and consequential financial decisions of their lives.

If you have ever wondered what to do with your money before, during, and after you sell your business, this episode was made for you.

We cover:

– The single biggest financial mistake business owners make: treating the exit as a transaction instead of a multi-year planning event, and why the best exits need at least 24 to 36 months of preparation, ideally 4 to 5 years.
– What Jeff's pre-sale checklist actually looks like: S-Corp vs. C-Corp structure, small business stock eligibility, trust strategies, pre-sale gifting, estate planning, charitable giving, valuation gap analysis, and whether relocating to a different state before the sale makes financial sense.
– Why separating your identity from the business is the single most important mindset shift a first-generation founder can make, and why it is also the foundation of multi-generational wealth.
– The 1 to 2 percent per year strategy: how to slowly move assets outside the business over a decade or more so your entire net worth is never sitting in one place when something goes wrong.
– The Bucket Strategy for post-exit proceeds: how to divide your liquidity into what you can never risk, what you plan to spend in the near term, and what you want to grow across generations.
– Why lifestyle creep is one of the most dangerous threats to exit wealth, and how trusts create the governance and structure needed to protect the plan from family pressure and reactive decisions.
– How GRATs, charitable trusts, donor-advised funds, and second-to-die life insurance policies can protect and grow family wealth long after the sale closes.
– Jeff's one practical tip for every business owner: pay yourself first by setting up a non-negotiable monthly transfer to an investment account, because consistency in building outside assets will always beat trying to time the market.

In this episode, I sit down with Marty Fahncke, certified M&A advisor, founder of Westbound Road, and one of the most experienced dealmakers you will ever hear from.

Marty has over 35 years of marketing experience, has personally executed over $450 million in acquisitions, and has represented about a billion dollars in total growth and sales across his career. He learned his biggest exit lesson the hard way when he sold his first company for $1.5 million cash, only to later calculate that equity in the roll-up would have been worth $24 million.

This episode is essential listening for any business owner thinking about buying a competitor, preparing to sell, or just trying to build a more valuable company from the ground up.

We discuss:
– How Marty went from selling vacuums and water purifiers as a teenager to becoming a QVC-certified presenter, to building and selling his first business for $1.5 million, to growing a PE-backed company from $80 million to $600 million a year through acquisition.
– The $1.5M vs. $24M lesson: why accepting all cash in a roll-up acquisition was the most expensive decision Marty ever made, and what he would have negotiated for instead.
– How marketing skills translate directly into M&A advisory, and why Westbound Road averages 5 offers per deal and has had as many as 12 competing buyers on a single transaction.
– Why growth through acquisition is lower risk than organic scaling, and how buying your competitor can instantly double revenue, cut customer acquisition costs, and remove market fragmentation.
– How to finance an acquisition with little to no money out of pocket using SBA expansion loans, revenue-based funding, asset-based lending, 401K borrowing, home equity, and other people's money. Westbound Road has over 230 financing strategies on file.
– Why Marty recommends starting exit prep 3 years before you plan to sell, and the real factors that move the needle on valuation beyond the usual key man risk and customer concentration advice.
– The homegrown CRM mistake that cost one client approximately $1 million at sale, and why beginning with the end in mind is the most important strategic principle for any business owner.
– How offshore versus domestic staffing decisions can substantially increase or destroy your valuation depending on the industry you are in.
– The tax mitigation trap: why saving 20 cents in taxes by hiding profit costs you $5 in business valuation at a 5X multiple, and why you need to shift to profit maximization at least 3 years before your exit.
– How Westbound Road uses AI defensively: running buyer simulations before bringing a deal to market to anticipate and pre-address every concern a buyer's AI would flag.
– The 5 D's and a B: divorce, disease, death, debt, disagreements, and burnout. Why every business owner will exit eventually, and why most are not prepared for it.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Justin Brown, a chiropractor turned serial entrepreneur who has built one of the most compelling healthcare roll-up stories in the upper cervical chiropractic space. He is the owner of Friends and Family Spinal Care, CEO of Serve Bigger Collective, and co-founder of iHelp Moms, an on-demand parenting platform connecting experts to parents globally. Justin grew up in a multi-generational family of business owners, discovered chiropractic after a soccer injury led to chronic fatigue syndrome, and has now trained over 35 chiropractors, acquired 3 practices in the last 10 months, and has plans to acquire 30 more over the next 5 years.

This episode is a masterclass for any service-based business owner who wants to scale through acquisition, build enterprise value in a fragmented industry, and actually get out of the day-to-day.

We discuss:
– How a soccer collision led to a chronic fatigue diagnosis, which led Justin to discover upper cervical chiropractic care, and ultimately to building a 20-year career in a niche practiced by only 3,000 of the world's 75,000 chiropractors.
– How Justin transitioned from being the hands-on clinician seeing patients all day to spending 50% of his time on acquisitions and deal flow, and why the E-Myth concept of getting out of the kitchen was the key unlock.
– The roll-up thesis behind Serve Bigger Collective: why the upper cervical chiropractic industry is deeply fragmented, why most practices never sell and doctors work 35 to 55 years for poor or zero exit value, and how consolidation creates enterprise value where none existed before.
– How Justin is taking individual practices with a 1X or 2X EBITDA multiple and building toward an 8X to 12X enterprise valuation through organization, shared resources, recurring revenue, and operational excellence.
– Why private equity and family offices love fragmented healthcare industries, and what it takes to professionalize a niche well enough to attract institutional capital.
– The intrapreneurship model: how Justin retains the chiropractors he acquires by creating a structure where staying inside the collective is more financially compelling than going out on their own, including salary, profit share, and equity upside.
– The holding company structure: how Justin built a holding company overseeing a managed service organization with a CFO, CMO, and controller that services all operating entities, creating the backbone for scalable growth.
– How Serve Bigger doubled some practices within 6 months of acquisition through community, shared marketing, buying power, and operational alignment.
– People and leadership as the core operating principle: why EOS and the traction framework, training systems, meeting rhythms, and clarity around vision and role have been the real engine of growth.
– The danger of AI negotiating against AI in M&A deals and why human context is still irreplaceable in deal flow and due diligence.
– How Justin uses AI for pro forma modeling, financial analysis, deal scenarios, comp structure design, and even real estate amortization schedules.
