I buy and grow real businesses — and show you exactly how, deal by deal.
Every week I break down what I’m seeing in the market, the deals I’m looking at, and what I’m learning running the ones I own. Real numbers, no theory.

Watch your inbox — the first issue lands this week.
Four things, every week.
No fluff, no recycled advice. Just what it actually takes to acquire and grow companies — from someone doing it now.
What’s on my desk right now
The businesses I’m looking at, why they’re interesting, what the numbers say — and what got one to close or killed it.
Running the ones I own
A win, a screw-up, a number that surprised me. The unglamorous truth of operating a business after you buy it.
The mechanics, taught plainly
Sourcing, valuation, financing, deal structure. If you want to buy a business one day, this is the playbook, step by step.
My POV on the game
Where the SMB and acquisitions world is heading, what’s overhyped, and what I’d bet on. Opinions, clearly labeled.

Most business advice comes from people who’ve never owned one. I actually buy them — and then run them.
This newsletter is me building in public: the deals, the numbers, the operating wins and losses, written down while they’re still happening. If you’re a founder, an aspiring buyer, or just curious how acquisitions really work up close, you’ll get more here than a year of theory.
Watch me buy and build — in real time.
Join the readers getting the deals, the numbers, and the playbook every week.
