Patrick Dichter is such a fun guest and entrepreneur to have on. His wealth of knowledge is so valuable. You will not be disappointed in this episode.

Podcast Nuggies:

  • Grew Apple Tree from ~$1.2M rev / ~$330k SDE to ~$4.5M in 4 years—non-CPA owner.
  • Pipeline: ~500 cold emails → ~20 calls → 6 LOIs → 1 close; personalize & call now.
  • Target “professional services” (non-licensed) so non-CPA ownership works.
  • Structures: SBA + cash + seller notes; two fully seller-financed; carve-out was best.
  • Lessons: first deal is hardest; change management is tough; precision matters.
