You cannot TAX your way to GROWTH | The budget, AI & M&A Success
•
Dee Ludlow
ou can’t TAX your way to GROWTH.
In this episode, we break down what the latest budget really means for founders, operators, and dealmakers, and why higher taxes rarely translate into stronger economies or healthier businesses. We get practical about how to win anyway: using AI to drive efficiency, protect margins, and uncover opportunities faster than your competitors, and using M&A as a growth engine when organic routes get squeezed.
