Somewhere between "I built this" and "I sold this" is a decade of decisions most founders get wrong. This is the show about those decisions.
Worth Owning is the podcast that takes you inside the build and the deal. Scale stories from founders who turned owner-operated companies into assets. Exit stories from the ones who sold, and what they'd do differently. Deal room insights from the bankers, private equity buyers, and M&A advisors on the other side of the table.
You'll hear from both sides. The founder who built it. The buyer who acquired it. And the uncomfortable truth about what actually makes a business valuable, transferable, and ready.
Hosted by Krystyn and Matt Harrison, cofounders of Horizon Advisors, an advisory platform for owner-operators that pairs you with advisors who've built, scaled, and exited themselves. Horizon's advisors have had front row seats to over $1B in enterprise value. Now we're bringing the playbook to owner-operators building between $3M and $100M+ in revenue.
If you want to know what makes the difference between a company that sells and one that stalls on the market, this is your show.
Worth Owning covers M&A, founder exits, growth strategy, deal structure, valuation, operator psychology, and what it really takes to go from running the business to owning an asset.
Because the work you do to make your business worth buying is the same work that makes it worth running.
