In this week’s podcast, In this new video, I sit down with Nigel Crane, a former chef who built an 8 figure exit by doing the complete opposite of what most entrepreneurs do.

No hype. No luck. No overnight success.

Just disciplined structure, a great product and margins that would shock most people in the food industry. 

We unpack how he scaled quickly, structured the deal, and created real time freedom.

If your business can’t run without you, it’s not really a business. It’s a job you happen to own.
That’s exactly why I created Built To Exit:

On June 17th, 2012, I woke up in a hospital bed after a life-threatening accident.

I had been in a coma.

And in that fog, one brutal truth hit me square in the chest:

If your business relies too much on you…

...you don’t really have a business.

You’ve just built yourself another job.

That wake-up call forced me to rethink everything.

Within 12 months, I sold my company in a seven-figure exit.

But here’s the thing: This isn’t about me.

In my latest podcast episode, I reveal 7 strategies from 7 different entrepreneurs I’ve worked with, each one turning 7-figure revenue into 7-figure profits.

These aren’t theories.

These are real moves they made.

Step-by-step.

Replicable.

And they work.

If you’re serious about building a business that grows without chaining you to it…

Most business owners make a fatal mistake when it’s time to sell…

They think buyers care about their revenue.

Wrong!

Buyers like Carl Allen care about profit, systems, customer concentration, and whether the business runs without you.

And Carl should know. He’s a world-class entrepreneur, investor, and dealmaker who’s been involved in 330 acquisitions worth over $48 billion across 17 countries.

He cut his teeth as a Wall Street investment banker, ran a $25 billion roll-up at Hewlett-Packard, and has personally bought more than 100 companies in the last 18 years.

Now he’s revealing the truth from the buyer’s side:
- The #1 factor that instantly makes your business more valuable
- The hidden risks that scare buyers off
- Why almost nobody gets 100% cash at closing (and what to expect instead)

This isn’t theory. It’s the raw, unfiltered truth from someone who buys businesses for a living.

Clate Mask scaled Keap from startup to $100M+ in revenue and learned some painful lessons along the way.

In this interview, he shares the moves that worked, the ones that didn’t, and what he wishes he knew before selling.

His #1 takeaway?

Hire the right people before you think you can afford them (you’ll see why).

Most entrepreneurs say they want to exit someday.

But when that day finally comes, very few walk away with what they hoped for.

Alastair Broom did!

He bootstrapped a business out of his own garage, scaled it over 15 years, and sold it for 5x profit with 95% of the cash paid upfront.

And he didn’t start until he was 58 years old.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How he turned a messy garage into a premium brand
• The delegation strategy that freed him up and scaled sales
• How COVID increased his margins and helped him grow
• How he managed to double his profit margins
• The emotional rollercoaster of letting go (and how he handled it)
