Good Bad Business

Good Bad Business is a weekly business analysis podcast from apickle, the team that removes caveats from directors’ homes.

Each episode breaks down a real, everyday business so you do not get into a pickle owning one.

We use our M.O.A.T framework:
Margin. Operations. Advantage. TAM.

We answer the questions that matter:
Can this business do $1M in year one?
Is it profitable or just busy?
Does it have a real competitive advantage?

If you are a founder, operator, investor, or thinking about buying or starting a business, this podcast gives you clear, practical insight into what makes a business good, bad, or a future headache.

No fluff. Just real world business strategy, startup analysis, and small business breakdowns.

Because the wrong business will get you into a pickle.

Peter Wyszenko

Peter works with Australian business owners when things get serious.

Every week, he sees good businesses pushed to the edge.

What most people don’t realise is this…

Business debt doesn’t always stay in the business.

Through personal guarantees, caveats, and PPSR charges,
creditors can legally move against a director’s personal assets —
including their home.

And by the time most people understand that…
it’s already too late.

With a background in commercial lending and complex debt negotiations,
he and his team have helped thousands of Australian business owners
reduce creditor pressure, protect personal assets,
and create clear, ethical pathways forward.

On Good Bad Business, Peter brings that real-world experience to the table —
breaking down businesses, exposing risk, and helping listeners understand
what actually makes a business work… or fail.
