Austin shares insights from his career transition from corporate leadership to business coaching and brokerage. He outlines three essential pillars for selling a business successfully.
He also discusses common valuation pitfalls, like “key man syndrome,” overreliance on personal relationships, and poor financial recordkeeping. The conversation emphasizes the importance of starting exit planning 3–5 years in advance, and how coaching, peer groups, and KPIs can help business owners stay focused, scale sustainably, and create transferable value.
