Staffing M&A advisor Patrick Morin has helped hundreds of founders build toward an exit. Here's what separates the firms that command real value from the ones that don't when the moment arrives.

Patrick Morin, Managing Partner of Transact Capital, returns to The Growth Game Podcast to sit down with Paul DeLuca for one of the most complete strategic conversations in the series. With every senior banker at Transact Capital having started, built, and sold their own company, Patrick brings an operator's perspective to the M&A conversations most investment bankers approach purely from a financial lens.

They talk about:
🏆 Why staffing firm culture is a valuation issue not just a people issue.
🏆 How AI adoption without strategy creates noise instead of value.
🏆 Why most staffing exits are triggered by personal circumstances not market timing.
🏆 How earn-out payments are determined by cultural health during integration.
🏆 What staffing market fragmentation means for independent and mid-sized firms competing against national players.

👉 If you're building a staffing firm and thinking about what it will be worth in three to five years this conversation will change how you think about every decision between now and then.
