In this episode, host Perrin DesPortes gets behind the mic to discuss the importance of congruent structures. Often, we see far too many people who build a business to some degree of success without taking the time to ensure that their operating, legal, equity, and financial reporting structures are all aligned. In turn, this creates massive problems during the growth and scale phase of their business and at the finish line when it comes time to sell. It's crucial to be intentional about what you're trying to build and why!

They'll describe what Jon refers to as the "Golden Triangle" when it comes to hiring team members.  We've heard of dentists and DSOs furloughing teams and laying employees off, leaving a ton of talent on the "sidelines" and creating a massive opportunity for those who are expecting to grow and scale their teams.
