@OneManLBO @sourcesandmuses @Sam_Rosati @JackieHirsch_ a friend is having success with his rabbi introducing him to business owners in the temple

I have to re-read lines like this 3x sometimes because the numbers are just so wild.

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

@CostaKapo There are many, you just don’t hear about them. What Mike Aubrey did with vet hospitals is incredible, as an example. His employees go from earning below poverty line to dramatically increasing their pay. The $100m+ deals we’ve sold to PE have tripled.. https://t.co/dSGvn62K3X

I always wonder this too

[Kendall Baker @kendallbaker]

Was just at the DMV (kill me) and it got me wondering…

Does LeBron James have to go to the DMV? Does Jeff Bezos have to stand in line for 2 hours to renew his license?

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

@hemeon and entire businesses built around it to get your money!

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

@sourcesandmuses Buyers will pay $15k up front for help, so I dono man there’s always someone who will pay and $150 doesn’t seem crazy at all

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

@maiab Interesting, I wonder if it also informs sellers “x number of buyers *would* buy if your price was this price” to give them better info too

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

at DMV:
"since you renewed your license early, you'll have to take the written exam."
"Ok. Wait, so if I waited till the last minute I wouldn't have to take the exam?"
"Correct."

Yep. About to represent a guy with a bunch of subways that make $1.8m earnings/year

[JT Singh @FranchiseMnA]

People sleep on how much wealth creation happens in solid QSR brands

That family you know that owns a bunch of fast food franchises is way richer than you think

https://t.co/bqTUqSBDjV - we still need to update home page with these AI features. You can even connect Claude or other AI via mcp server, which unlocks even more power. No upcharge.

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

We just shipped powerful new AI features in Vetting Vault.
Price increase? Nope.
Still $199/month for unlimited users.
Probably not a great business decision.
Definitely a great customer decision.
Sneak peek 👇

@jamesonhaslam Taking my 4 y.o. to the park today with some lax sticks

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

@maiab Ya this is powerful. Also imagine them old and on their deathbed. Then I feel like you see more of the whole person.

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

Free idea: a podcast/youtube series that interviews people like the 40 yr old investment banker that had a health scare and is now a happy bartender in tulum. Call it Hard Pivot

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

@OneManLBO Thanks we want to redo it all though haha

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

@OneManLBO A little bit, but most people just find us online being in the space so long

[Rob Kale | M&A @rob_smb]

@BuySellSMB I’ve seen them do impressively aggressive things in LA
