Don’t Miss Out On This Generational Opportunity

Chapter 1: Introduction

0:00  There is a generational opportunity right now. There’s more baby boomers who own businesses today that

0:07  are looking for an exit and have no one that can take over their company. You are uniquely positioned watching the show right now. The competition is

0:16  low and I want to equip you with the specific protocols, mindsets, and tools so you can scale, purchase, and

0:24  exit a business, but also have a fulfilling life outside of that.

0:29  Most people never get access to the room where the real decisions happen.

0:34  They see the company, the deal, the growth, the success headlines, but they never hear what it really took to build

0:41  it, what it truly cost. This show is your invitation to the room. I’m Austin Hartley and my background is in

0:48  M&A, real estate and capital markets, which means I’ve spent my career building relationships with founders who’ve

0:56  actually built and sold, operators who’ve scaled past what they ever thought was possible, and investors

1:04  who’ve deployed serious capital and learned the hard lessons doing so.

1:09  What I’ve noticed every time is that the most valuable part of knowing these people isn’t the strategy. It’s

1:16  the perspective. The stuff they only tell you over a long dinner or drinks. I want you to feel like you’re walking away with actual lessons,

1:24  protocols for scaling your business, for improving your health, and then being inspired to live a meaningful life, to feel like you’re actually

1:32  focused on what’s important and help you develop a vision that encompasses every aspect from your

1:40  health to your faith to your business and what that means and what your impact and meaning should be. Welcome to Acquiring Meaning.
