Raised in a small town in South Dakota. Served as a missionary in Africa. Graduated college with a degree in accounting. After a stint with Deloitte, founded a business with a partner. Eventually, acquired a nationally based franchise company, repositioned it, scaled it, sold it, and then abandoned the San Francisco Bay Area for the scenic Northern California Sierra Foothills seeking a slower-paced life and to be closer to one of our daughters and grandkids. Got bored. Started the Business Exit Stories Podcast where I interview dealmakers who share their war stories about deals theyβve facilitated. These stories provide insights, hints, and tips for entrepreneurs helping them position their business for an eventual successful and profitable exit.After hearing hundreds of deal stories on the podcast, Iβve identified patterns where entrepreneurs, many of whom spent a lifetime β or decades, with their nose to the grindstone but failed to develop a strategy to position their business for an exit. The podcast shares heartbreaking stories of entrepreneurs that lost it all when they botched their exit, as well as some that had over-the-fence home runs.My new mission in life is to write a book and develop a system to help entrepreneurs optimize their exit value enabling them to enhance their post-exit lifestyle.Connect with Marvin:https://marvinlstorm.com/https://businessexitstories.com/
