The Vince Perri Podcast

The Vince Perri Podcast is an owner-focused business show about building companies that can endure scrutiny. It is practical first. Vince Perri brings the lens of an exit advisor and business broker to conversations with entrepreneurs, operators, and specialists who have lived through growth, deals, and pressure. The recurring concern is enterprise value. What makes a company more attractive? What quietly caps its price? What looks profitable until a buyer, landlord, lender, or private equity firm starts asking harder questions? Episodes get specific about EBITDA, trailing 12-month performance, gross margin, market-based rent, commercial real estate structure, distribution, leadership, systems, and operating metrics. The show is especially useful when it slows down on blind spots. A real estate decision can prop up business earnings while weakening the property valuation. An unsolicited offer can feel exciting and still leave money on the table. A manufacturing founder can grow fast and still realize later that the numbers he now teaches were not the numbers he tracked then. Those are the kinds of lessons the show likes. It also keeps entrepreneurship human. Ryan and Chantel talk about business friction inside a marriage and choosing the relationship over winning every argument. Robert brings the conversation toward rock bottom, faith, identity, and recovery. Shane connects lean scaling with mindset, manifestation, and daily practice. Hector brings leadership back to example, coaching, and the difference between being a boss and building people. David explains insurance startups through commercialization, funding, distribution, and the slow change of traditional industries. The tone is candid and occasionally intense, with a working-owner feel rather than a polished lecture format. It is not a finance textbook. It is a table conversation for people who want to understand how decisions made today affect exit readiness later. The best fit is a founder who is already asking whether the business is becoming an asset or just another demanding job.
