from Grow With Purpose · host Joey Brannon
Joey Brannon sits down with Axiom advisor Cameron Earhart, CEPA, to break down a recent client sale to a private equity firm. Cameron worked with the owner through the process, and the two talk candidly about why the buyer mattered more than the number, what changes the day after closing, and how the right firm turns a team loose to grow. It is an honest look at how these deals work from the inside and how to land in the small group of owners who are genuinely glad they sold.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:• Why your future CEO is the relationship that decides everything• How to read a buyer before you sign the LOI• What changes the day after you sell• The three boxes to check before your first PE meetingDOWNLOAD THE LEADERSHIP GUIDE: Episode 191: Not All PE Is The DevilHELP US IMPROVE THE SHOW: Take our 30-second SurveyHave a question for the show?
