Where can you listen?

Lucas and Luna sit across the polished deal table to demystify the private sale process for business owners, buyers, and the brokers who connect them. Each episode dissects a live or anonymized case: a manufacturing firm sold for 6.8x EBITDA, a software consultancy that cratered after the earn-out, the tax structuring that saved a family-owned distributor $2.1 million in capital gains. They walk through valuation methods (SDE, EBITDA multiples, asset-based), the psychology of negotiation (who blinks first when the letter of intent lands, how to read a buyer's body language over a leather-padded table), and the legal landmines buried in representation and warranty insurance. Lucas, with his fountain pen and bound reports, anchors the numbers: trailing twelve months revenue, seller's discretionary earnings, working capital adjustments. Luna, over his shoulder, presses on the human side: why a founder's identity gets tangled in the exit, how to tell employees before the deal leaks, what a non-compete really means for a 60-year-old retiring. This isn't M&A theatre; it's the conversation you'd have with a trusted advisor who charges by the hour but gives you the file anyway. Listeners walk away with a checklist for their own exit, the questions to ask a broker on the first call, and a sober take on whether a private sale beats a strategic acquisition. The room is quiet, the numbers are real, and the next deal could be yours.
