How2Exit 2025 Vision — and How You Play a Part
By Ron

As we charge forward into 2025, I’m excited to share our vision for the How2Exit community—how we’re growing, evolving, and becoming an even better resource for entrepreneurs looking to buy businesses (instead of just building from scratch). Here’s a quick look at what’s on the horizon and how you can get involved:

1. Interviewing More Top-Tier Guests
   We’ll continue bringing you candid conversations with the best in the world of M&A and business acquisitions. From accomplished dealmakers to innovative thought leaders, our focus is on uncovering real stories, real strategies, and real lessons that empower you on your own M&A journey.

2. Cultivating a Tighter Community
   We don’t just want listeners—we want active participants. Here’s how we’re strengthening the bonds that keep How2Exit running strong:

   • The Podcast: Expect more engaging and interactive discussions.

   • WhatsApp Group: A place to share resources, ask questions, and support each other in real-time.

   • Twice-Monthly Networking Events: Join us on the first and third Thursdays to build connections with peers, mentors, and potential business partners.

3. Creating a ‘For the People, By the People’ Source of Knowledge
   Our ultimate vision is for the How2Exit podcast to feel like it belongs to you, the community. We’re working toward:

   • Guest Hosts: Hear new perspectives from experts and entrepreneurs who’ve walked the walk.

   • Panel Discussions & AMA’s: Get your burning questions answered by seasoned M&A leaders.

   • Collaborative Content: Help shape our content by suggesting guests, topics, and event ideas.

When I say How2Exit is “by the people,” I really mean it—we can’t make this vision happen without you. Whether you’re sharing episodes with friends, networking in our WhatsApp group, or showing up at the online meetups, your energy and insights fuel our growth.

Together, we’re building a knowledge base that helps more people find their perfect acquisition and exit strategy. With your continued involvement, 2025 will be our most impactful year yet.

See you on the inside,
Ron
