New Podcast: How This Former MLB Player Acquired A Street Sweeping Company And Grew It By 5x In 13 Months

Hello SMB Deal Hunters!

I’m excited to share a new interview with Brandon Dixon, a former MLB player who acquired a street-sweeping company, Cleaner Streets.

You may know Brandon as an infielder and outfielder for the Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds, and San Diego Padres, but you probably didn’t know that in 13 months he went from not knowing a thing about business to growing a business by 5x 🤯

Today's issue is sponsored by SMB Diligence, the platform I helped start for matching business buyers with vetted legal counsel and Quality of Earnings providers.

PRESENTED BY SMB DILIGENCE

Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Skip Due Diligence…

A friend of mine put a business under LOI and asked me for my advice.

I recommended he contract a 3rd party due diligence partner to rebuild the company's P&L from scratch.

Turns out their EBITDA was off by 2x 😳

Enter SMB Diligence.

SMB Diligence is the platform I helped start for matching business buyers with vetted diligence providers, from M&A lawyers to Quality of Earnings providers.

Their network of experts has worked on hundreds of small business transactions (including many from the SMB Deal Hunter community).
