Buying a Business Disaster Stories (Mistakes That Cost Millions)

Is buying a business the ultimate wealth-builder or a one-way ticket to a financial disaster?

In this episode, we sit down with M&A experts Seth Rudin and Paul Long to peel back the curtain on the deals that never made it to the finish line—and some that did, only to become nightmares.

From Chinese tariffs crushing margins overnight to police arriving at a contract signing to arrest an employee for embezzlement, these aren't your typical "guru" success stories.

We explore the high-stakes world of mergers and acquisitions, the "invisible" red flags in due diligence, and the hard-won lessons every entrepreneur needs to know before signing an LOI.
