Built to Sell Radio just dropped a year-end special that pulls the strongest moments from 2025 into one episode.

Across four formats (Exit Story, Inside the Mind of an Acquirer, Mastering the Deal, and After the Deal), you’ll discover how to:

  • Choose exit value over lifestyle income before comfort caps valuation
  • Spot the “founder-dependent” trap that scares off serious buyers
  • See how buyers price risk, not just revenue and EBITDA
  • Use imperfections as leverage instead of liabilities
  • Build leverage before a first offer quietly sets your ceiling
  • Create real alternatives so negotiations stop feeling one-sided
  • Prepare for the identity shift that hits after the wire clears
