"Ever wonder why 95% of business sales happen with buyers you've never heard of? Welcome to the wild world of M&A, where timing kills deals and ego can cost you millions."

Meet Jacob Koenig, a former Goldman exec who's flipping the script on how businesses are bought and sold. Fresh from spending 15 years in Asia's financial trenches, he's now dropping truth bombs about what really happens when entrepreneurs try to cash out their life's work.

Here's the reality check you didn't know you needed: If you're waiting to sell at your peak, you've already fucked up. If you think you're irreplaceable in your business, you're probably unsellable. And if you're trying to sell your business alone? You're likely leaving millions on the table.

But here's where it gets interesting - Koenig's not just talking theory. He's sharing real war stories about companies that got retraded into oblivion and others that sparked 100-bid bidding wars. We're talking about the nitty-gritty of what makes businesses actually sellable, and spoiler alert: it's probably not what you think.

This episode is a masterclass in M&A strategy, packed with insights about:

• Why your ego might be your biggest obstacle to a successful exit
• The truth about timing your sale (and why most people get it dead wrong)
• How to create an auction environment that puts millions more in your pocket
• The real reason most solo-attempted sales crash and burn

Whether you're building to sell, thinking about buying, or just want to understand how the big money moves, this episode's got your name all over it.

Ever wonder why people get rich in real estate while you're still on the sidelines? Terrie Schauer accidentally stumbled into property management at 19, and now she's here to spill the tea on how she turned cleaning toilets into a multi-million dollar empire.

Forget the get-rich-quick BS you see on Instagram. We're diving into the nitty-gritty of real estate investing with someone who started by managing a chaotic student co-op house (think overflowing garbage and drunk roommates) and built her way up to owning and managing thousands of units.

But this isn't just about buying properties. We're talking real strategies for turning D-level properties into cash-flowing machines, why having zero tolerance property management practices matters, and how to avoid getting screwed by crooked property managers (spoiler: she learned that one the hard way).

Ever wonder what happens when a criminal defense attorney hits rock bottom at the peak of her career? Buckle up, because Amber Fuhriman's story is about to shatter everything you thought you knew about success, trauma, and the real path to fulfillment.

Picture this: Six-figure salary, law degree, respect in the courtroom - the whole package. But instead of feeling on top of the world, Amber's battling panic attacks and questioning everything. Why? Because chasing external success to fill internal voids is like trying to fill a black hole with confetti - it just doesn't work.

But here's where it gets juicy. Amber doesn't just survive her crash - she uses it as a launchpad to completely reinvent herself and her definition of success. We're talking about transforming from a burnt-out attorney to a badass business coach who's not afraid to call bullshit on the toxic hustle culture.

Get ready for some hard truths:

• Your childhood money trauma is probably sabotaging your business (yeah, we're going there)
• "Humility" might be the dirtiest word in personal development (mind blown yet?)

Amber's dropping wisdom bombs left and right, from how to build a 300k law firm with no credit and pure grit, to why your "villain" might just be the key to your personal growth. And don't even get me started on her take on the lie that "if you build it, they will come" - spoiler alert: they won't.

Whether you're a struggling entrepreneur, a high-achiever feeling empty inside, or just someone trying to figure out how to actually love the life you're building, this episode is your wake-up call.
