Today's episode features a slightly different format than what our audience is accustomed to!

In order for a business owner to have their "dream exit," many boxes need to be checked in advance of the date of sale. Fortunately, Homer and his team at Konvergent Wealth Partners works diligently with their business owner clients to prepare their business for its sale and ensure they're maximizing the value of their clients' life work.

Recently, Homer was invited to be a guest on the Middle Market Moment podcast, featuring Craig Dickens, CEO of JD Merit, for a deep dive into this conversation.

There's a lot to unpack here, so let's get right into it!
