Bonus Episode, Mitchell Beinhaker

What causes a business deal to fall apart even when both sides want it to close? And what happens when a business owner waits too long to prepare for an exit? Jason Cutter and attorney Mitchell Beinhaker unpack the real reasons transactions break down — from seller remorse and poor preparation to messy due diligence and founder dependency. Mitchell shares stories from decades of legal and transactional experience, including a semiconductor business in which the owner passed away during the deal process, forcing the buyers to reconsider everything. In this episode, Mitchell and Jason discuss seller psychology during transactions, how brokers can “pull the weeds early” before deals collapse, the dangers of waiting too long to sell, the future impact of AI on legal services, and what it takes to build scalable systems without losing momentum.
