Michelle Seiler Tucker is back on the show this week to discuss how higher interest rates have impacted the market climate for business sales.  Michelle is the best selling author of Exit Rich and has been in the M&A business for over 20 years (selling over 1,000 business over that time frame).  She shares a few basics of what business owners can do now to set themselves up for future success, as well as how the buyer’s perspective has changed.

We also cover some market news.  Gamestop has been in the news recently after Keith Gill, aka “Roaring Kitty” posted screenshots of his holdings and announced a YouTube livestream last week.  Gamestop proceeded to make a surprise earnings announcement, in addition to a secondary share offering after seeing it’s price jump over the last two weeks.
