I was referred to this podcast by a friend. Absolutely was hooked from the first episode. It’s been my go to for help on all things related to any deal I’m looking at. I’ve also connected with several guests who have also been helpful.

Been listening to Acquiring minds for 2.5years now and it inspired me to get into eta as well

The stories are great and Will is a terrific host

Will Smith asks the questions that we all want to ask but probably wouldn’t. Great guests too.

This is probably my favorite podcast (and I listen to a lot). There is more value in one hour that Will provides to his listeners than any other podcast, webinar, lecture. Will has guests on that have gone through the challenges (including personal trepidation) of breaking out of the 9-5 slog and bought a business. He is an amazing interviewer, who asks great questions and lets the guest tell their story. I’m very grateful to have found this podcast and hoping he goes to TWO SHOWS a week!

So many guests have come on and helped bring ideas, courage, and motivation to continue on in entrepreneurship.

Great resource both for those considering entering the space and for those actively in the space looking to level up.

This is the single most valuable practical source out there for searchers. HBR and BTB are great for the foundational academic knowledge but Will is able to get cut through the ‘prestige’ and get genuine responses from his guests about the highs and lows of searching. I highly recommend!

As someone looking to learn more about acquisition entrepreneurship, Acquiring Minds is a clinic. Will asks excellent questions and digs into the questions and topics his listeners are anxious to learn about. I fully intend to purchase a business in the next 12 months and Will’s podcast has given me the confidence to believe I can.

Will asks all the questions I’m thinking during these interviews. Very direct and informative. He also doesn’t beat around the bush when getting clarification on things. Worth a listen for sure.
