You bought yourself a job. Now you're wondering why no buyer is calling.

One customer makes 40% of your revenue. Your EBITDA is under $2 million. Every sale depends on you showing up tomorrow. That's exactly what buyers see when they look at your business through the buy box.

In Episode 10 of From Burnout to Bought Out, John and Ryan break down the buy box, the six filters buyers use to decide whether your company is worth a closer look. They cover revenue thresholds, EBITDA floors, customer concentration risk, recurring revenue, margin profiles, and why a business can be profitable but still get discounted. You'll also hear why "building a business" and "building an investment" are two very different things.

If you feel stuck on the treadmill, can't step away from the business, or wonder why your company isn't as valuable as you think it should be this one's for you.

You install EOS. The meetings get cleaner. The accountability chart looks great. Everybody's rowing in the same direction.

Then you realize you're still 90 days from insolvency because nobody is tracking cash. This episode is about the dangerous gap between operations and money.

In Episode 8 of From Burnout to Bought Out, John and Ryan break down why EOS is a powerful operating system but not a financial system. They explain why most owners can't project cash 13 weeks out, why many scorecards are packed with activity metrics but missing financial KPIs, and why a company can have a perfect L10 while quietly heading toward a cash crisis. They also walk through the five financial gaps they see most often and what owners need to add to make EOS truly effective.

If you have cleaner meetings but still feel like you're guessing when it comes to cash, profit, and growth decisions, this one's for you.
