Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Henry Galasso — a New York broker who started with $5,000 and a stack of business cards. Twenty-one years later, he's sold over 1,000 businesses and built one of the most dominant brokerage operations on the East Coast, now expanding into 37 states.
Henry breaks down why most businesses aren't actually sellable, how a personal brand can quietly destroy your company's valuation, and why a $10+ trillion wave of boomer-owned businesses is about to flood the market. Plus, the one thing that separates brokers who close from the ones who disappear.
If you own a business and haven't thought about your exit, you're already behind. This conversation could be worth more than whatever your company is worth right now — because knowing the number is just the beginning.
