  • Finding Passion & Purpose In Acquisitions, Exits, Entrepreneurship & Life with Raleigh Williams
    Apr 30 2025
    When it comes to business, the goal isn’t just a big exit—it’s about building something so empowering that staying in or stepping away both feel like exciting options. In this episode, Jaryd Krause is joined by Raleigh Williams, a former Mergers & Acquisitions lawyer turned successful entrepreneur. Raleigh left his law career after just nine months to start an escape room business, which he scaled and sold for eight figures. Now a father of three and husband to a breast cancer survivor, Raleigh now helps entrepreneurs “take chips off the table” and reconnect with the creativity and joy that originally drove them into business. The conversation dives deep into Raleigh’s journey—from walking away from law, to building a multi-million-dollar company, to writing a powerful book that helps founders navigate the emotional rollercoaster of exits and acquisitions. For entrepreneurs wondering whether to sell, grow, or rediscover their passion for their business, this episode is packed with game-changing insights. Learn how to find fulfillment in business, make empowered decisions, and avoid the identity crisis that can follow a big exit. Get ready for a raw, insightful, and inspiring conversation about purpose, growth, and enjoying the journey of entrepreneurship, no matter what stage you’re in. Episode Highlights 03:00 Finding purpose in your work and life 10:00 Combining enjoyment and passion into your business 17:00 Can you truly make a hobby your work? 25:30 The importance of being authentic in both business and personal life. 33:00 How suffering and passion intersect in meaningful work. 41:00 Raleigh's book and finding true fulfillment. 45:00 Where to find Raleigh and his book? Key Takeaways ➥ Purpose isn’t found—it’s created by doing work that energizes you in the present, not some future ideal. ➥ Passion doesn't mean ease. True passion often involves suffering you’re willing to bear because the work feels important. ➥ Hobbies don’t have to become work. It’s okay to keep joy separate from your income stream. ➥ Living an undivided life—being the same person in every setting—leads to deeper fulfillment and less emotional burnout. ➥ A true calling feels like something only you can do, even when it's hard. That’s what gives it meaning.

  • Creating Your Bolt On Business Acquisition Strategy with Marty M. Fahncke
    Apr 16 2025

    Many business owners overlook a powerful strategy hiding in plain sight—using their marketing budget to fuel acquisitions and build a portfolio of successful businesses.

    In this episode of the Buying Online Businesses podcast, host Jaryd Krause speaks with Marty Fahncke, a seasoned marketer with over 30 years of experience in business growth and scaling. With more than two decades in mergers and acquisitions, Marty has helped businesses reach over a billion dollars in revenue and has executed more than $450 million in M&A transactions.

    This conversation delves into the key aspects of acquiring and selling online businesses, including:

    ✔️ The types and sizes of businesses that are ideal for acquisition
    ✔️ Common mistakes sellers make and how to avoid them
    ✔️ Strategies for bolting on businesses to an existing brand
    ✔️ The process of identifying, acquiring, and financing the right business
    ✔️ The "leaky bucket" problem and how businesses can save thousands of dollars per month

    For anyone looking to scale through acquisitions and make smarter investment decisions in the online business space, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how to leverage acquisitions for long-term growth.

    Episode Highlights

    02:40 Marty’s journey as an M&A Advisor

    11:30 A good relationship is sometimes the key!

    18:00 How to build a growth strategy?

    25:00 What’s the timeframe in selling a business?

    33:20 Not all businesses are sellable

    38:00 Reputation is everything!

    Key Takeaways

    ➥ Buying a business with proven revenue is often a safer bet than scaling through paid advertising, which requires time, testing, and investment with no guaranteed success.

    ➥ U.S. buyers can leverage SBA loans to acquire businesses with minimal upfront capital, while international buyers often rely on self-funding or revenue-based financing from third-party lenders.

    ➥Strengthen your core business before acquiring—acquisition is not a fix for internal issues.
