  How NOT to use AI in Your Search

  Sep 11, 20269 min

  Most people think they're working really hard, but they're outsourcing to AI the most important question. Use AI as a tool, but don't let it replace your thinking. Most searchers are getting left behind and spinning their wheels and will never close a deal because AI is doing the thinking for them.

  What is the difference between EBITDA vs SDE? (with a cash flow bonus)

  Aug 13, 202617 min

  Alright, a question I get often. What is the difference between EBITDA vs SDE ? We dive into a few high-level differences to watch out for when evaluating businesses. EBITDA is typically used for larger businesses ($2-3M+ Profit). SDE is typically used for smaller businesses. BUT neither of those is cash flow. A few podcast nuggies: - SDE is not Cash Flow - Loan payments don't show up on the P&L many times - If you take a business with no debt, stack on 80%+ debt, you are fundamentally changing the entire business structure. You are ADDING risk here. You can get into trouble if you only take their costs vs WHAT YOUR costs will be.
