What does it really take to build a business that an acquirer wants to buy, and what happens after the deal closes?

In this episode, we sit down with Darius Ross, the Roll Up Kingpen to break down the business exit and M&A process from start to finish. Darius shares what business owners should be doing years before a sale, the factors that make a company attractive to acquirers, and the common mistakes that can reduce deal value or derail a transaction altogether.

We also go beyond the deal itself to explore what happens when an entrepreneur suddenly has life-changing liquidity. From the first 30, 60, and 90 days after an exit to avoiding the “pitfalls of new money,” Darius explains how sellers can approach their wealth, lifestyle, identity, and next chapter with intention.

Whether you’re building toward a $10M, $50M, or $100M+ exit, this conversation offers practical insights on what to start doing today to put yourself in a stronger position tomorrow.
