Phantom Equity with Raleigh Williams13 févr. 202500:27:08

Raleigh Williams is one of my favorite people. Not a stranger to the show, 2nd time at least but he always packed in so much value. He’s bought, scaled, sold so many businesses.

Raleigh walked away from a huge attorney career and salary to live life on his own terms.

We dive into Phantom Equity though.

Emotional Homes.

What is the difference between EBITDA vs SDE? (with a cash flow bonus)03 mars 202400:16:05

Alright, a question I get often.

What is the difference between EBITDA vs SDE?
We dive into a few high-level differences to watch out for when evaluating businesses.

EBITDA is typically used for larger businesses ($2-3M+ Profit).
SDE is typically used for smaller businesses.

BUT neither of those is cash flow.

A few podcast nuggies:
- SDE is not Cash Flow
- Loan payments don't show up on the P&L many times
- If you take a business with no debt, stack on 80%+ debt, you are fundamentally changing the entire business structure. You are ADDING risk here.

You can get into trouble if you only take their costs vs WHAT YOUR costs will be.
