    Episode 1259: Secrets To 10Xing Your Business: And Cashing Out Tax-Free with Marc Adams

    Most business owners don’t realize they’re building an exit they can’t afford.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Marc Adams, Strategy Mentor & Business Exit Planner at Acquisitions4You, who shares how his work has helped provide $22B in funding support and why he now focuses on helping founders double business value in 12 months or less. After a stage-four cancer diagnosis during the pandemic and a life-changing conversation with his son, Marc pivoted his mission toward helping the “nine out of ten” owners who never get the outcome they need. He explains the Double and Keep It framework, designed to grow value fast while protecting owners from the usual traps of dilution, debt burdens, and painful exit costs.   Key Takeaways: → Most business owners don’t get the value they expect when it’s time to sell. → Exit-math can be brutal, especially in states with high taxes. → Traditional private equity doesn’t solve the real problem. → The “double and keep it” framework aims to achieve value growth without dilution or debt service.   → This framework is meant to create a real retirement-grade exit.   Marc Adams is a strategy mentor and business-exit planner who helps founder-led companies double enterprise value in 12–24 months and structure tax-efficient exits without heavy dilution or personal guarantees. He’s helped take a company from roughly $140M to a $1B valuation and led a loss-making $18M-revenue business to a $140M exit. A bestselling author with Times Square features, Marc works closely with family offices and private capital, providing founders with a practical, buyer-aligned playbook for value creation, clean diligence, and better after-tax outcomes.   Connect With Marc: Website: https://acquisitions4you.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/1marcadams/

    Episode 1258: Health Benefits Without the 30% Annual Surprise with Chris Hamilton

    Your benefits plan may be getting more expensive for reasons unrelated to better care.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Chris Hamilton, Partner at Hotchkiss Insurance and a healthcare industry expert, who explains why employer health costs keep skyrocketing. He breaks down how misaligned incentives in traditional plans drive inflation and why mid-market employers often have far more control than they realize. You’ll hear practical, modern strategies such as self-funding, direct agreements, and transparency tools that can improve coverage while reducing total costs for both companies and employees.   Key Takeaways: → Traditional compensation structures can incentivize higher premiums rather than better outcomes for employers and employees. → When insurers own PBMs and other components, pricing can become a circular profit engine that justifies ongoing rate hikes. → If you reduce the underlying cost of care, the premium required to fund the plan naturally drops. → The same procedure can vary dramatically in price across facilities, with no reliable correlation to quality.  → Employers can contract directly with hospitals and concierge physicians to simplify access, improve care, and reduce both company and employee financial burdens.   Chris Hamilton is a Partner at Hotchkiss Insurance in Texas, where he leads the employee benefits consulting practice. He specializes in managing healthcare and insurance costs to improve benefits coverage, reduce expenses, and enhance employee health outcomes. With over a decade of experience in corporate finance, Chris has advised clients across various industries, including private equity and oil & gas. In his free time, he enjoys traveling, working out, attending live music events, and spending time with family.   Connect With Chris: Website: https://hotchkissinsurance.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chrishamiltonbenefitsinsider LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chamilton/
