New Podcast Episode: Buy the Business. Don’t Build the Struggle.

In the latest episode of The Vault Unlocked, I sat down with Doug Thorpe, a former banker involved in 24 business acquisitions.

We talked about something most founders ignore.

Buying cash-flowing businesses instead of building from scratch.

There’s a massive exit wave happening right now.

Profitable companies with staff, systems, and real revenue are available.

Meanwhile, founders burn years trying to create something “from zero” because it feels heroic.

In this conversation, we break down:

• What actually makes a business valuable

• What sellers care about beyond price

• Why no-money-down thinking kills deals

• And the difference between operating and investing

If you’re serious about leverage and ownership, listen to the full episode on YouTube and Spotify.

And if the show’s been valuable, leave a review on Apple Podcasts. It helps the right people find it.
