21 Hats Podcast

著者: 21 Hats
  • サマリー

  • The 21 Hats Podcast presents an authentic weekly conversation with small business owners who are remarkably willing to share what’s working for them and what isn’t. Unlike many business podcasts, which tend to talk to highly successful entrepreneurs whose struggles are in the past, the 21 Hats Podcast features a rotating cast of business owners who are still very much in the trenches fighting the good fight. Every week, our regulars gather to talk about the kinds of important issues many owners won’t even discuss behind closed doors: whether their businesses are as profitable as they should be, whether they are willing to give up some control to an investor in order to grow faster, why they had to lay off employees, how they wound up with way too much inventory, why they don’t have a succession plan, and even why they are concerned about their own mental health. Visit 21hats.com to hear all of our podcast episodes, read episode transcripts, and learn more. The show is produced by Jess Thoubboron, founder of Blank Word.

  • The Tricky Business of Selling Small Businesses
    2025/01/28
    This week, in episode 231, special guest David Barnett, who started helping owners buy and sell businesses in 2008, offers some guidance on an often-misunderstood sales process. Early on, David was a business broker. “I sold over three dozen companies for other people,” he tells us, “and it was very interesting and exciting. It was also a terrible business.” So he changed business models but has continued to do pretty much the same work. As a result, he’s amassed a lot of first-hand knowledge, much of which he shares in our conversation, including: why many owners fail to think of their business as an asset, why sellers shouldn’t be too quick to reject earnouts, why buyers should consider making multiple offers for the same business, how buyers can protect against the post-purchase loss of important customers, why businesses are selling for less than they were a couple of years ago, why there may be a smarter way to buy a business than by scouring business-for-sale websites, and why there really isn’t a true market for buying and selling small businesses.

  • Dashboard: Is Small Business Optimism Eroding?
    2025/01/27
    This week, John Arensmeyer—CEO of Small Business Majority and our man in Washington—stops by to talk about the Trump administration's first week and what it means for business owners. It’s very early of course, but the administration is moving quickly on many fronts and some issues, John tells us, have businesses in his network concerned. Not surprisingly, those issues include tariffs and immigration. We also talk about the fate of TikTok and this week’s confirmation hearing for SBA nominee Kelly Loefler.

  • Think We’re Ready for the Tariffs
    2025/01/21
    This week, in episode 230, Liz Picarazzi tells Paul Downs and Sarah Segal that after a year of anxiety, she’s eager to find out what Donald Trump is really going to do about tariffs. Whatever it is, she thinks she’s prepared enough options to survive. “If your tax rate went from 11 percent to 60 percent,” she says, “I think most of us would be pretty freaked out, and I am, but I'm a little bit less so because of this work that we've done to be ready.” Paul, meanwhile, thinks there’s some chance his business could benefit from the tariffs—although he’s far more focused on his business’ very slow start to 2025. “It’s a little bit scary, frankly,” he tells us. And Sarah has been dealing with the pain of having to let one staffer go and the disappointment of having one of her senior people choose to go.
