Why Most People Aren’t Built for CEO Pressure (And That’s Okay) 💼 E162

In this week’s episode of The Money Mondays, Dan Fleyshman sits down with Eric Spofford and Justus Parmer for a fast-paced, money-focused conversation built around the show’s three pillars: how to make money, how to invest money, and how to give back.Eric shares his journey from addiction and rock bottom to building a real business that scaled to hundreds of employees and ultimately sold for $115M—then breaks down the real mechanics of creating “sellable” companies: EBITDA, multiples, reducing key-man risk, building leadership teams, SOPs/KPIs, and what the exit process actually looks like from banker to data room to LOI and due diligence.Then Justus dives into how he thinks about investing with an “edge,” why he’s focused on American industrial assets and long-term infrastructure plays, how AI is impacting decision-making, and why the “butterfly effect” of giving back matters more than people realize.As always, keep in mind—this episode might not just be for you. It could be the one you send to a friend who’s trying to scale, raise money, invest smarter, or build something real. Get a free sales and marketing audit from my team.
