What does a balanced life really look like after decades of entrepreneurship?
In this episode, Jim Zipursky, Managing Director of Corporate Finance Associates Omaha and Chairman & CEO of CFA Worldwide, shares his unconventional path into investment banking, growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, navigating bankruptcy, building a global M&A firm, and learning over time how to slow down and enjoy life.
We talk about family-first culture, long-term thinking, health, travel, and why founders don’t need to sprint forever to build something meaningful.
What you’ll learn:
• Why Jim says he was “the least qualified” for his role and why it worked
• Lessons from family businesses, failure, and resilience
• How CFA works with founder-led companies on M&A
• Why family truly comes first in Jim’s life and firm
• Slowing down, health, travel, and long-term balance
