Stephan Liozu, Founder and Disruptor at Value Innoruption Advisors, is a designer of disruptive and innovative value and pricing strategies. With over 25 years in business, he noticed that people very easily get stuck in their comfortable, existing models, but leaders should constantly be innovating. Stephan defines disruption as learning to do things differently. Comfortability may be your enemy, and a bit of innovation can go a long way towards improving your bottom line.
In his interview, Stephan discusses common misconceptions in the field of pricing. While many business owners determine price based on cost, few base their pricing on the value brought to the customer. Stephan suggests moving from a reactive pricing approach, to a proactive pricing approach. Start catching more value in your market by working at the intersection of innovation and disruption, listen to Stephan’s expertise to learn how.

Hans Sperling - Use Caution When International Buyers Come Calling
Wednesday Jan 20, 2021
Wednesday Jan 20, 2021
Hans Sperling, Attorney - Sperling Law Corporation discusses some of the precautions he helps his clients think through when International Buyers approach them for purchase of the business.
Transcript:
Hans: I mean, I think, even in domestic transaction when you kind of see the money from working a long time to find a good buyer, people want to strike while the iron's hot. A lot of what we do is say, let's slow down a little bit and make sure we do this right. But, with international, as your saying, it's that much more risky. Yeah, they could be trying to get your intellectual property, that's very common, we protect you from that. And the other thing is, if you're manufacturing or you have some technology that might be sensitive, I mean it's not necessarily obvious, it's not necessarily a missile, it could be there's magnets, lasers, sensors, all kinds of things you might not think of as being military sensitive. There's a whole other area of the law that covers that, so that could be an issue. There's also something called a foreign corrupt practices act, which, when you're dealing internationally, you have to be very careful, because in some cultures, they might not look like bribes, but gifts and so are common, and you have to be really careful to stay on the right side of the law, especially US law.

He is in the business of building enduring strengths-based interdependent organizations through developing strong people, strong partnerships, and strong teams. The Strengthsfinder assessment has been gaining popularity, especially among Fortune 500 companies. Brandon is an expert at using these results to help teams communicate more effectively and improve all around.
In his interview, Brandon connects the dots between leveraging employee’s natural strengths to increase in morale, retention, and engagement.

People who are using their natural talents will become more engaged, and when this is applied to entire teams, they will enjoy a healthy boost in morale. Brandon shares measurable results as well as anecdotal evidence that prove the effectiveness of his claims. As a business leader, it’s crucial to remember that your best assets go home each night, invest some time in learning to strengthen your teams by listening to Brandon’s expertise.
- 2:25-3:30: Brandon explains Strengthsfinder and talks about how to improve engagement and collaboration by leveraging strengths.
- 12:10-13:30: How to begin to build your strengths and align strengths to help reach your goals.

Laura Ladoux - Legal Strategies to Protect and Grow Your Business
Tuesday Mar 24, 2020
Tuesday Mar 24, 2020
Laura Ladoux shares a quick idea regarding setting up a business in a Community Property State (like CA).
Transcript:
Bill: What are some of the things you should be thinking about when you set up your business in a community property state? Here's Laura Ladoux.
Laura: One of my favorite things to do is help people understand that California is a community property state, and a lot of people don't really understand what the ramifications are of setting up a business when you are living in a community property state and you do have a spouse. One of the things I like to do is to sit down and find out if we need to have a community property meeting in place, is the spouse going to be a part of the company, do they want to be completely hands off? You know, we don't like to think of divorce, but my job as an attorney and as a legal business coach is to look at the holistic aspect of it and to prevent problems before they come, and it's a lot easier when you're setting up a partnership or a community property agreement when everyone's happy and friendly, to determine, okay, on the off-chance that this dissolves, what are we going to do?

Transcript:
Bill: Where do you start to plan when you have a new business? Here's T. Phillip Boggess.
T: Almost everyone, when they start a business, wants limited liability, so let's make sure that we create the entity that's gonna have limited liability so we aren't opening the door for any litigators to pierce the corporate veil. At the same time that's happening, we have to plan our exit strategy, because trying to plan for that later is too difficult. So we need to create some sort of buy-sell agreement or some other way for these business owners to know, when it comes time that I want to leave or that I have to leave, that here's how it's going to work. It's going to protect everybody, it's going protect people who are staying in the business, because they're going to get to have the business and run the business as they are without necessarily being in business with their former partner's family, and it's going to protect the former partner's family because if something were to happen to him or her, it makes sure they are going to get what they deserve.

David Sherak - As You Begin Your Planning Don't Overlook These Points

Here's a past highlight from one of our Guests. Find their full interview at www.ExitCoachRadio.com -- just click "Audio Library" in the "LISTEN" section and enter their name to hear all of their past interviews!
David Sherak, Partner-Vogt,Resnick & Sherak discusses several important planning agenda items as you start to think about your overall Succession plans.
Transcript:
David: One of the important things is: make sure your ownership structure of your business is taken care of. If you do have a trust, make sure that the share certificate for a corporation, or the operating agreement, identifies the trustee of that trust as the owner of that property. Also, make sure that the instrument doesn’t have any special individual that’s appointed to deal with, perhaps a dispute resolution process, that might be in conflict with the terms of trust’s successor trustee or executor under those instruments. Make sure that your advisors are well aware of this planning, including your financial advisors, like the example with the collateral commitments of the bank: the bank didn’t know that this individual was also naming them as a trustee of his various trusts, and ultimately that bank also held the loans, so it didn’t fit within their administration parameters to basically service their own debt, and resign the loans and deal with that collateral commitment. So making sure that all of your advisors are aware of these instruments is important.

Roger Royse - Today's Start-ups need to prepare for Exit Early
Tuesday Nov 08, 2016
Tuesday Nov 08, 2016
Here's a 1 minute highlight from an interview with one of our Guests. Find their full interview at www.ExitCoachRadio.com -- just click "Audio Library" in the "LISTEN" section and enter their name to sell all of their interviews!
Roger Royse, Attorney-Royse Law Firm discusses why many Start-up companies have a shorter life span and they must be very attuned to having an Exit Strategy right from the start.
Transcript:
Roger: Start up companies, if they expect that they're going to get institutional funding like a lot of them do, have to anticipate a fairly early exit because their venture capital investors are managing funds that have definite endpoints, those funds term out. What happens is, as they get to the life of the end of the fund, or as they hold an investment for awhile, they're going to get increasingly demanding about seeking the liquidity of that. So, even though the founders might like to stay in the company for a long time, you can expect that the investors are going to want to see an exit, in other words, the sale of the company, certainly within 5-7 years. Now, having said that, I've got companies, legitimate startup companies, that have been my clients for 15-20 years. It just turned out that it was a good cash business and they just hung onto it and didn't just build it to sell. But, the typical startup, they expect a pretty fast exit, especially these days.
