The Pharma-Safe Podcast is a place for real conversations with the people who know the oil industry firsthand. From offshore medics and company leaders to veterans, first responders, and industry partners, each episode looks at the work, stories, and people behind keeping crews safe. In this episode, Pharma-Safe sits down with Pete Prados for a conversation on entrepreneurship, leadership, business valuation, succession planning, and what it really takes to buy or sell a company. Pete shares how his career moved from sales and offshore software training to building and selling a software company, supporting startups, leading peer learning groups, and eventually becoming a business broker. The conversation covers what many business owners misunderstand about the value of their company, why clean financials matter, how buyers and lenders look at a business, and why timing is so important when planning an exit. Pete also talks about the value of peer learning, mentorship, calculated risk, and building a life that leaves room for family, service, and meaningful experiences. This episode is about business ownership, stewardship, leadership, and the importance of knowing when to build, when to sell, and when to take the next step.
