  <title>Buying vs Starting: The Business Conversation Every Entrepreneur Needs to Hear Right Now</title>
  <description>Baby boomers are retiring at a rate of 10,000 per day and roughly half of all privately owned businesses in the U.S. are owned by boomers with no succession plan. That is the setup for what Jerry Brazie, Matt Floyd, and Steve Floyd call the silver tsunami — one of the greatest business acquisition opportunities in history. In this episode, Jerry breaks down how to find these deals, what to actually look for in an acquisition, how to structure a deal without traditional financing, and why the motivated entrepreneur will always beat private equity in a one-to-one sale. They also break down the Grosjean F1 crash in full — the 28 seconds, the 67 Gs, the engineering that saved his life — and tie it all back to how you build something that actually lasts. This episode is part of&amp;amp;nbsp;The Kronos Group Podcast, where experienced operators and founders share real-world lessons on building, scaling, and protecting their businesses.
