@BritishBizBuyer (Plus my entire search occurred during Covid, so it wasn’t like I did many face-to-face meetings, regardless.)

[Eddy Zakes @eddyzakes]

@BritishBizBuyer Very fair, re: difference in perspective. While I definitely couldn’t just pop in at a distance of four hours, I did feel a different level of connection with sellers who were regionally closer and an easier time building a relationship.

[Eddy Zakes @eddyzakes]

@STLChrisH Definitely interested.

@swilera @J_M_Vogt @CafeLurcat_MN Thanks, @swilera, for thinking of me. Unfortunately, @J_M_Vogt, I’ll be in Green Bay on Tuesday. Will you only be in town Tuesday? I’d love to connect!

@aubreystrobel The Berlin Wall coming down. I remember coming downstairs to find my parents rocked forward in their seats on the couch, glued to the coverage. I was 6.

@NickHaschka @aebridgeman Any tests for "owner dependence"?

[Eddy Zakes @eddyzakes]

With a mix of pre- AND current-COVID considerations, Pepperdine @GraziadioSchool's "Q1 Market Pulse" from their Private Capital Markets Project highlights #businessowner sentiments as I search for a great business to buy. Curious to read their Q2 report. https://t.co/35dXiNRnyM

A "new breed" of investors is giving business owners a unique option to consider when thinking about exiting their businesses... From @AttaTarki via @Entrepreneur: https://t.co/u0lvGQIkuQ #businessowner #succession

Earlier this year, I asked @IESEbschool to begin looking for my replacement, as I wanted to return to a more hands-on #entrepreneurship role. First, I'm delighted to be replaced with @JosemariaSiota. Second, here's what is next: https://t.co/MeFkE9fUQV

[Eddy Zakes @eddyzakes]

@josemariasiota @iesebschool Congrats, @JosemariaSiota! I'm so glad you're the one replacing me!

So important for aspiring #entrepreneurs: "It isn't enough to do the numbers 'right', you have to do the RIGHT numbers." -- @IESEbschool Prof. @Palencia62. Good reminder to be inquisitive, dig deeper, and be intellectually honest as you validate your #startup.

For my Madrid-based, Spanish-speaking friends... We've launched a new "legal mentorship" offer from the IESE Venture Hub, and we're hosting a talk on Wednesday in Madrid on "La transformación de los servicios financieros": https://t.co/1ownzj9WWS

Amazing! Congrats to @IESEalumni @CarlotaPiAmoros, @oriolvilag, and @fnogue on @HolaLuzcom’s IPO. What a journey!
