Most founders dream of selling to a giant acquirer, but in reality, most small businesses are acquired by other small businesses. That's why I interviewed Kristi Herold. Kristi has acquired 11 companies in recent years, and her company, JAM, though relatively small, provides a realistic view of the type of M&A that happens on Main Street. Check out the clip below and listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

I've enjoyed listening to John Warrillow's Built to Sell podcast for years - so it was an honour and also a bit nerve-wracking to join him on his show. Why nerve-wracking? I've been on hundreds of podcasts to chat about workPLAYce culture - and the importance of integrating play into our personal and work lives - a topic I'm well versed in. However, being asked to speak about Mergers & Acquisitions doesn't feel like my wheelhouse. While I studied commerce at the Smith School of Business at Queen's University, finance classes always made me nauseous, I didn't even know what the term "mergers and acquisitions" meant when I was in school 😂 . And yet with the help of an amazing team at JAM, we have now completed 11 acquisitions of various sizes over the last 6 or 7 years...but I still don't feel like an expert on the topic. I still don't completely understand all the big words and terminology around these types of transactions and we are constantly learning as every deal we have done has been unique. If you're interested in hearing a bit more about our team's experience in acquiring other small businesses then give this podcast a listen. https://lnkd.in/ge2ZKgMx Just because we don't necessarily know or understand all the big words doesn't mean we cannot make good deals happen. I believe getting a great deal done is more about nurturing relationships and creatively finding win-win opportunities for both sides.
