**POTENTIALLY HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT**

I just made either the biggest mistake or biggest investment of my life.

It’s called BizScout. I just invested millions into it. Here’s the idea so you can tell me if I’m dumb.

A better marketplace that makes buying and selling a business so easy even your grandma can do it.

We take back Main Street by owning it.

The idea is we (eventually) make small businesses as common to buy and sell as real estate.

Right now there is a 25 year old incumbent that owns this market, hasn’t innovated in a decade, and still gets 10’s of millions of views a month but makes business buying… miserable.

What’s different at BizScout (to start):

• ScoutSights: Quick validation of market price based on 300,000 historical listings (like Zestimate).
• Curated listings: BizScout will have a more curated selection of listings, ensuring that you're only seeing high-quality, verified opportunities.
• Off-Market leads: instead of paying $30k for institutional level off market deal tech, we do it for you.
• Buyer verification: BizScout will verify all paid users (who opt in) so brokers respond to you.

Vision: The CEO of Zillow upon founding the company said, "the web [had] been around for now 9 or 10 years, but still I couldn't get pictures of homes and complete listings and prices and addresses. We were trying to answer a simple question. What is that house worth? What should we offer if we wanted to buy it?" Answering that question led to a company worth nearly $11 billion.

Now the same question applies to small businesses… except it’s even worse.

Imagine you owned a home, you built it and cared for it over the years. Then eventually when you were ready to move on from it, instead of selling you just bulldozed it and walked away. That is what happens with 9 out of 10 small businesses. They just shut their doors and spend money to do so.

Opportunity: We buy their businesses instead.

Small biz owners are old and tired. SMB owners are 65+ on average. Yet they have no exit plan, which is why only 1 out of 11 of listed businesses will sell within 1 year.

• 41% of small biz owners want to sell in next 5 years
• 29 Million small businesses in the US with less than 500 employees
• 75 million baby boomers will retire by 2030 (they own most of the SMBs in the US)
• 10,000 baby boomers retire daily
• 61% say they have no idea what to do with their business or how to sell

The issue is they often don’t realize they can sell their business. They don’t have help for “readying” their business for sale.

A realtor will come and assess your home, no one does that for small businesses. They don’t have their financials clean or in order typically and often have no idea what their business is worth or a next step to take. By the time they learn they often have slowed down or are just ready to retire.

The big investment banks aren’t interested in small messy deals, neither are private equity companies, and the average acquirer for small businesses doesn’t know how to review a business that isn’t wrapped up in a bow with industry standard reporting. Maybe we can tackle this.

Unfair Advantage:

I am already one of the largest small business brokerages in the US. We’ve seen confirmation of closing of more than $300million in business through our community.

I guess we’ll see. Love for you all to check it out and tell me what sucks (I know Twitter’s great at that!). You’ll be seeing lots more from us in the coming weeks.

Canada‘s plan to be an energy superpower. Decarbonizing oil.

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

📉Consumer debt: $2.55 TRILLION
📉Avg non-mortgage debt per person $21,859
📉1.4 million Canadians missed payments
📉BC defaults up 21.6%

Bank of Canada is set to pause interest rates AGAIN

The next 6 months won’t be a soft landing

It’s going to be a slow-motion train wreck

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

I’m here to give Canadians more than just headlines — I’m here to give them hope, truth, and the power to think critically.
Every day, I sift through hours of noise to bring you what matters — fast, funny, powerful, and real.
This isn’t about fear. This is about freedom.
Let’s take back control and become the strongest version of ourselves — together.

My time in Kigali reinforced the transformative power of strategic urban development.

Kigali's integrated approach to building business centers alongside thriving communities demonstrates what's possible when vision meets execution. Most cities generate 80% of a country's GDP, making them the engines of economic transformation.

At the AfDB, we must listen to the pulse of Africa's cities - investing in infrastructure that connects communities, powers businesses, and creates opportunities at scale. This means partnering with governments to deliver tangible outcomes that improve lives and drive measurable economic growth.

When cities succeed, nations prosper. When cities are well-planned and well-financed, they become catalysts for continental transformation. @RwandaFinance

Mon passage à Kigali m’a rappelé à quel point un développement urbain planifié de manière stratégique peut être un puissant moteur de transformation.

L’approche intégrée de la ville, qui combine pôles d’activité et quartiers dynamiques, montre ce qu’il est possible de réaliser lorsque des ambitions claires se traduisent en actes. Dans de nombreux pays, les villes génèrent 80 % du PIB : elles sont les véritables moteurs de la transformation économique.

À la BAD, nous devons être à l’écoute du pouls des villes africaines : investir dans des infrastructures qui connectent les communautés, soutiennent les entreprises et créent des opportunités à grande échelle. Cela suppose des partenariats solides avec les gouvernements pour obtenir des résultats concrets, au service de la croissance et de l’amélioration des conditions de vie.

Quand les villes réussissent, ce sont les nations tout entières qui prospèrent. Bien conçues et bien financées, elles deviennent des catalyseurs de transformation à l’échelle du continent.

Growing up on a farm outside Lusaka, I witnessed firsthand both the challenges our farmers face and the dignity of agricultural work. This isn't abstract policy for me – it's personal.

Africa holds 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, yet we import $45 billion in food annually. This contradiction represents our greatest opportunity.

In this video, I outline practical steps to transform African agriculture – not through theoretical frameworks, but through targeted investments that deliver real results for our farmers and communities.

If elected AfDB President, I would be honored to have my hands on the plow alongside Africa's farmers, working to unleash the incredible potential of our continent's agricultural sector.

J’ai grandi dans une ferme, en périphérie de Lusaka. Très tôt, j’ai vu de mes propres yeux les difficultés que rencontrent nos agriculteurs, mais aussi toute la dignité que représente leur travail. Pour moi, l’agriculture n’est pas une question de politique abstraite – c’est une réalité que j’ai vécue personnellement.

L’Afrique possède 60 % des terres arables non cultivées de la planète. Et pourtant, nous importons chaque année pour 45 milliards de dollars de denrées alimentaires. Ce paradoxe est aussi notre plus grande opportunité.

Dans cette vidéo, je propose des actions concrètes pour transformer l’agriculture africaine. Pas à travers des concepts théoriques, mais grâce à des investissements ciblés qui changent réellement la vie de nos agriculteurs et de nos communautés.

Si j’ai l’honneur d’être élu à la tête de la BAD, je m’engage à travailler main dans la main avec celles et ceux qui cultivent nos terres, pour libérer tout le potentiel de notre agriculture.

I wish to congratulate Dr. Sidi Ould Tah (@sidiouldtah) on his successful election as the President-elect of the African Development Bank Group.

I entered this race driven by love and deep concern for our continent, and offered a vision for Africa's future.

Today, the Governors have chosen the leader they believe will best deliver the vision of the Africa we want at this pivotal moment.

My profound gratitude goes to all the governments, private sector partners, and young people who supported this campaign.

The work for Africa's development and prosperity continues, and I remain committed to our shared goal of building a thriving continent.

Je tiens à féliciter chaleureusement le Dr Sidi Ould Tah pour son élection à la présidence du Groupe de la Banque africaine de développement.

J’ai pris part à cette élection, animé par l’amour et l’inquiétude que j’éprouve pour notre continent, avec la volonté de porter une vision pour son avenir.

Aujourd’hui, les Gouverneurs ont fait leur choix : celui du dirigeant qui, selon eux, incarnera le mieux la vision de l’Afrique que nous voulons mettre en œuvre en ce moment charnière.

Je tiens à exprimer ma profonde gratitude aux gouvernements, aux partenaires du secteur privé et aux jeunes de tout le continent qui ont soutenu cette campagne.

Le travail pour le développement et la prospérité de l’Afrique continue. Je reste pleinement engagé en faveur de notre objectif commun : construire un continent prospère et dynamique.
