@SMB_Attorney Can’t be worse than the jab everyone was forced to take while all research and dissenting opinions were oppressed.

Three 4-star commands.
The busiest spaceport on Earth.
One state.

Let’s talk about Florida.

It’s already wired into the backbone of American power.

Start with this:

3 combatant commands. One state.

→ United States Central Command (MacDill AFB, Tampa)
→ United States Special Operations Command (MacDill AFB, Tampa)
→ United States Southern Command (Doral, Miami)

Three 4-star commands.
Three global mission sets.
One continuous talent pipeline.

No other state has that.
Not Virginia. Not Texas. Not California.

Now add the Space Coast.

→ Kennedy Space Center
→ Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
→ Patrick Space Force Base
→ SpaceX, Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, L3Harris Technologies, United Launch Alliance

100+ orbital launches in 2024.
Busiest spaceport on Earth.

Universities pumping out aerospace engineers. Career and technical colleges producing skilled workforce.

@elonmusk has said Florida is becoming “the center of gravity for space launch.”

Then in 2024, our legislature designates Homestead Air Reserve Base and Tyndall AFB as official spaceport territories under @SpaceFlorida

South Florida now has launch infrastructure.

Read that again.

The combatant commands are here.
The launchpads are here.
The primes are here.
The dual-use startups are moving here.

Why?

Because the customer is here.
The operators are here.
The proving grounds are here.
The capital is here.

This is the dual-use thesis in plain English:

When your state hosts the commands that define global security
AND the launchpads that define the space economy
AND the venture ecosystem to fund what’s next—

You don’t have a defense sector.

You have a defense ecosystem.

Florida isn’t adjacent to defense tech.

Florida is defense tech. 🇺🇸 🚀

@JasonUnlocked The next step is to just instruct it to put in occasional mistakes.

Trust but verify. How are you doing corporate diligence in your acquisitions? https://t.co/cLxzUHvsi1

Lower your risk & improve outcomes #eta https://t.co/vp3cOodzG5

[Jary Jackson @jackson_jary]

If you're in the #ETA space looking to acquire a business, ask yourself, why are you doing it alone, especially when the much larger players all have teams (and for good reason). Yes, you have your deal team, but who's there to assist with everything post close? I've been the searcher, acquired and operated companies, founded others, and advised small businesses. The hard work begins after you close, when you find what you really acquired, stuff happens, and you have limited resources. We help de-risk deals, leverage our resources to improve outcomes, and serve as operating partners and advisors when needed #sba #entrepreneur #smallbusiness

@SMBootcamp_ @bseeling Love being able to share and hopefully be of help. @Sam_Rosati s bootcamp truly made a difference for me and I aim to pay it forward wherever I can.

@patrickdichter Billboards aren’t for new business. They’re useful for repeated business that reminds them to call you.

[Jary Jackson @jackson_jary]

It’s been a year since I took the leap and acquired a business! While the trend is to talk about a lifestyle business that supposedly gives you flexibility, work life balance and “easy” money, my new boss is the toughest I’ve ever had.

Being your own boss doesn’t mean being free from obligation—it means you're released to your own accountability, discipline, and drive, choosing your obligations and living up to them every day. #smallbusiness #eta #smb #smbash

[Jary Jackson @jackson_jary]

I've been in your shoes. If you own a small business, you’re bombarded with noise trying to sell you something. When people say they “get it,” or have expert advice, do they really? Have they lived it?

I spent 18 of my 22 years as a Green Beret, hit the pavement in B2B sales, did self-funded search, acquired & operate a small business, and built another from scratch. I've made the mistakes, faced the challenges, and learned.

Whether in supporting national security in govcon, consulting & talent solutions to small businesses, or providing opportunities for veterans, it's a personal mission and mandate for me to succeed in that service.

THIS is your secret to business success. NOT a resume. I look for these attributes in the talent I hire on my team and the talent I place. #talent #business #smb #eta #recruiting

@StrongpointRich That’s awesome congrats!

[Jary Jackson @jackson_jary]

@Sam_Rosati I asked a broker how they came up with a 10x valuation on a company with 550k SDE and declining earnings for the past three years…. they said reputation and capability.
