In this episode of the M&A Launchpad Podcast, hosts Feras Moussa and Casey Minshew sit down with John Martinka, a seasoned intermediary and advisor with nearly 30 years of experience in business transactions. John shares candid insights into how buyer and seller dynamics have evolved, the critical role of financial preparedness, and why experience is key to successful deals.

The conversation highlights the importance of knowing your numbers, preparing a business for sale well in advance, and making incremental improvements that build real value β€” whether you’re buying for the long term or planning a strategic exit.

For anyone thinking about buying, selling, or growing a business, this episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom and actionable advice.
