What Happens When a Guy with Grit Takes on M&A Without a Giant PE Firm Behind Him?
In this episode, Casey Minshew lays it out—no fluff.
He walks us through his real-world journey as an independent sponsor—finding deals, funding them, and figuring it out as he goes. No Wall Street suits. Just persistence, smart due diligence, and a crew he trusts.
We talk lessons learned (some the hard way), how to avoid rookie mistakes, and why your network can make or break your next deal.
You’ll also hear how Casey’s using tech to gain an edge—and what legacy businesses are hiding in plain sight for anyone paying attention.
If you're thinking about buying a business—or want to raise capital without writing a massive check—don’t miss this one.
Plus, we dive into what’s happening at the M&A Launchpad Conference and how it’s shaping the future of small business ownership.
