    Exiting a Family Business and Finding New Purpose, with Carol Anne Lee

    What if the greatest value in selling your business isn’t the financial windfall, but the relationships you’ve built along the way? Are you truly preparing clients—and yourself—for the emotional and practical reality of life after a sale, or just focusing on the deal itself? This episode reminds us that the end of a transaction is only the beginning of a new chapter—for both advisors and owners. The real transformation comes not just from financial freedom, but from confronting one’s identity, finding fresh purpose, and reconnecting with what matters most. It’s a challenge to shift our perspective from merely engineering the exit to stewarding the entire journey, including the uncertain—and exciting—"what’s next?" Joining Oliver Kotelnikov is Carol Anne Lee, a former catering business owner who sold her company and navigated the emotional, logistical, and personal complexities that followed. Together, they unpack the often-overlooked side of succession: balancing the planner and the visionary, surviving the literal and figurative bruises of entrepreneurship, and learning that reinvention doesn’t end with a successful deal. You’ll get fresh insight into aligning a business for sale, stewarding client relationships through change, and redefining fulfillment after the paperwork is signed. Share this episode with another advisor who’s ready to become more than a dealmaker—someone committed to guiding clients and themselves into a richer, more authentic “next chapter.” Connect with Carol Anne: Email: Carolannelee99@gmail.com Connect with Oliver: Email: oliver@ibainc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliverkotelnikov YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NextVentureAlliance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nextventurealliance Chapters (00:00:00) - The Next Venture: Oliver Kotelnikov(00:00:31) - Venture Alliance(00:02:29) - A Long Journey Back to Business(00:02:51) - Married Hospitality Employees Start a Business(00:10:43) - Private Events Catering Started as a Side Business for His Personal Chef(00:17:17) - How I Learned to Run a Business Without My Partner(00:25:39) - A small business owner's funny full circle moment(00:27:48) - Are Entrepreneurs More Risk-Averse?(00:28:55) - Disrupting the Cycle: Working on a Commissary Kitchen(00:36:19) - The Decision to Sell My Business(00:43:32) - How I Learned to Sell My Business(00:47:03) - How To Sell a Business in 4 Months(00:51:18) - Retiring with a Business in the Background(00:55:54) - Dan and Dane on Their First Father-Son Trip(00:59:57) - Selling Your Caterer Business(01:03:16) - How I Poached My Girlfriend From My Company(01:08:11) - In the Elevator With a Fortune(01:10:03) - Post-Business Owners: What Challenges Are There?(01:16:02) - Tom Clancy on Chasing His Own Path(01:19:32) - What organizations are you considering joining to help your business?(01:23:31) - Dane on His Podcasts(01:27:45) - Friendships in an AI World(01:33:25) - Venture Alliance: Keeping the Business Connected

    Why Selling Your Business Starts Years Before You List It, with Christopher Thom

    Selling a business isn't just about finding a buyer. It's about preparing years in advance so that when the opportunity comes, both the business and the owner are ready. In this episode, Oliver Kotelnikov sits down with Christopher Thom, CPA and Founder of Evergreen Accounting, to explore the financial side of business ownership transitions. Christopher shares how proactive tax planning, clean financial reporting, and early collaboration between advisors can significantly improve the outcome of a business sale. Together, they discuss the role of accountants in mergers and acquisitions, explain complex concepts such as purchase price allocation, working capital, Quality of Earnings reports, and GAAP accounting in practical terms, and examine how owner dependence can affect business value. Whether you're planning an exit in the near future or want to build a stronger business, this conversation offers practical guidance that can help you preserve more value and avoid costly surprises.

    Growth Strategies for Small Business Owners, with Dayo Oyetuga

    What if your path to business ownership was less about finding the “perfect” opportunity and more about cultivating clarity and readiness from the inside out? Are you helping your clients build resilient, sustainable enterprises, or just reacting to their immediate wish lists and blind spots? Too many advisors and brokers get caught solving surface-level problems, overlooking the underlying systems, preparation, and mindset shifts that actually drive long-term success. As this episode reveals, transformative progress happens when you challenge ambitious owners to plan beyond their current horizon, systematize their operations, and prepare their businesses (and themselves) for the capital, scale, and transitions they dream of. In this episode, Dayo Oyetuga, Certified Business Advisor at the Washington SBDC, brings experience in both entrepreneurship and large-scale organizational transformation. He shares eye-opening lessons on preparing businesses for growth, demystifying capital readiness, leveraging technology, and mastering the unglamorous—but essential—routines of strategic planning and honest self-assessment. From helping business owners avoid the “lost opportunity” trap to equipping first-time buyers with the right questions and accountability, Dayo Oyetuga offers practical strategies and real-world stories for anyone looking to move from reactive to deliberate, from overwhelmed to empowered.

    Building Deals, Teams, and Legacy in Business Brokerage, with Gregory Kovsky

    What if the secret to long-term success in business brokerage has less to do with technical skills and more to do with personal authenticity, relentless education, and treating people right? Are you building your deal flow on a foundation of deep regional knowledge, lasting relationships, and a win-win mentality? Or are you simply chasing transactions? When you look beyond commissions and truly invest in your own expertise and your clients' success, you build not only trust but also a practice that stands the test of time. As this episode reveals, the best brokers, the ones whose businesses endure, obsess over team building, continual learning, transparency, and the strength of their reputations, not just their pipelines. In this special episode with Gregory Kovsky, President and CEO of IBA, the lessons go far beyond EBITDA multiples and negotiation tactics. You’ll learn how Gregory’s journey from basketball coach to top dealmaker shaped a leadership philosophy built on the golden rule, education, and team excellence. The episode covers the nuances of local versus national brokerage, the power of full disclosure and mentorship, and how building a legacy means raising the bar for the entire industry, not just yourself. Real-world tales of complex deals, cross-cultural challenges, and the human element of business transitions make this a must-listen for any broker seeking lasting impact.

    The Human Side of Money, with Tim Melia of Embolden Financial Planning LLC

    When is the right time to start financial planning? Is it only after you’ve “made it,” or is it something you should be thinking about much earlier as a business owner? For many entrepreneurs, financial planning feels like something they’ll get to later. But the truth is, real planning isn’t about perfect timing or complex spreadsheets—it’s about clarity. It’s about understanding your goals, your values, and the “why” behind your decisions. Saving money is important, but planning is what turns uncertainty into confidence and gives your future direction. In this episode, Oliver Kotelnikov sits down with Tim Melia, Principal at Embolden Financial Planning, for an honest and practical conversation. Tim shares his journey from the tech world into wealth management, lessons learned as a business owner, and his passion for helping clients—from Gen Z to Baby Boomers—make smart, values-aligned financial decisions. If you’re looking for clear guidance and want to start financial planning in a way that actually fits your life, this episode is for you. Listen in, reflect on what truly matters to you, and take the first step forward.

    Roasted! Better Living Through Coffee with Ben Cook

    What does it really take to turn a simple cup of coffee into a thriving community hub? Is the American dream of entrepreneurship still alive in today’s specialty coffee scene? And how does someone go from spinning records in nightclubs around the world to roasting coffee beans in a quiet seaside town? Behind every successful small business is a story of reinvention, risk, and resilience. True entrepreneurship often looks less glamorous than people imagine—it’s built on consistency, grit, and showing up even when the work feels ordinary. Personal background, an eye for opportunity, and a deep connection to community can turn a business into something far greater than its product, especially when adaptability and long-term commitment lead the way. In this episode, Oliver Kotelnikov explores Ben Cook’s remarkable journey—from a bohemian upbringing in Berkeley and a thriving DJ career across New York and Europe, to becoming the owner of Better Living Through Coffee in Port Townsend. Together, they unpack lessons from family entrepreneurship, the influence of music and travel, the realities of staff culture, and the challenges—both literal and figurative—of running an independent café, all while debunking myths about what success really looks like. If this conversation sparked ideas about entrepreneurship, community, or redefining success, take the next step—listen to the full episode, visit or support Better Living Through Coffee, and subscribe, share, or leave a review.
