Description

Buying a business is one of the greatest bets you can make on yourself. You step into something that already has customers, cash flow, and a team — and now it's yours to grow. It's thrilling, it's life-changing… and it's also a crash course in all the things you never thought you'd be doing. Hosted by Garth Fasano and Christi Loucks, This show is about those lessons. The goal is to help new owners anticipate what's coming, avoid the early stumbles that slow momentum, and build a peer group where no one has to figure it out alone. Because buying the business is only the beginning — the real work, and real growth, starts the day after close.
