They do a pretty good job breaking down acquisition opportunities based on strictly publicly available information. At times, they've said some silly things or fundamentally don't understand a business, but haven't we all? My biggest issue is that the Girdley dude takes up too much...Read full review »

Girdley, Mills, and Bill do an excellent job breaking down the key elements to look for in acquiring a small business by bringing their years of invaluable wisdom garnered through actually acquiring and running their own businesses all with the perfect amount of wit and humor.

You need to clarify why us Texans are dumb. Maybe you can teach us something instead.

I’ve been listening to these podcasts now for some time when driving to and from my business. Always entertaining and I am always surprised how you find different angles to what may be going on versus what is advertised in the Teaser. I am in N.Ireland (a very small place) and my mind boggles at...Read full review »

I own a commercial cleaning co. 18 year I’m business. Very luctrarivre, I’m on 2 year contracts. My staff love their jobs, some people like physical work. We only do common areas of condos, no offices, no toilets no homes. Not sure you represented it very well.
jwkrissy via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/07/23
Mike, Bill, and I forgot the name of the other guy (haha), are all great. It’s the only podcast I tune into weekly now. It’s incredibly entertaining because they don’t take themselves too seriously, and it’s very informative. I’m learning things that are helping me prep my company to one day be...Read full review »

Impressive, actual small business experience. I wish I had their help when I lasted attempted an acquisition. My new favorite podcast.
Catslacker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
These guys bring valuable insights into smb investing/deals, but in a very entertaining way. I have gotten a lot out of regularly listening to Mike, Bill, and Mills. Must listen stuff if you are new to SMB investing. Even if you are not new, it’s highly entertaining to hear their thoughts on...Read full review »

If you own or run a company this is a great podcast. Bite sized evaluations of businesses for sale. I usually learn something and if nothing else you get a sense of the market and how to consider valuation. But most importantly I always get a few laughs.
AlexpkeatonII via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/23
As someone who works in the deal business, this is always fun to listen to - I look forward to new episodes coming out, and often, I learn a new way of thinking about businesses. Entertaining and informative. Really strikes a chord for a business nerd like me.
bobingtonflats01 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/23
I seriously have actually looked at five or more businesses before they appeared on this pod, and the guys gave me a lot of very good reasons to stay away. I’ve started to learn where the pitfalls are to buying a business, and occasionally, when there’s a fit. Valuable, insightful knowledge here....Read full review »
Cool Chick 5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
Great pod. The only thing that would make it more enjoyable was if they added some personal drama. Maybe Mills borrows Girdley’s lawnmower and then in subsequent podcasts Girdley asks for it back and Mills keeps making excuses why he can’t return it. Eventually Mills comes clean that he hit a...Read full review »

I enjoy listening and have learned a lot.
Larkin O via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/23
I came across this podcast since I’d been following girdley on twitter for a while. This show is extremely helpful for those looking to acquire businesses and navigate the m&a process. These guys are pros at this stuff and know what they’re doing but also make things fun. Usually focused...Read full review »

Like having a few experienced investors over for coffee and chatting about deals. Business schools would charge big money for this content…
MI SMB searcher/acquirer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/23

Scottyp38 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/23
They get right into listings, good stuff. I wish they would talk about how to turn around ones that look like bad deals. More on their strategy post sale on how to improve the business would be cool
Michaeland7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/23
An excellent aggregate of thoughtful analysis, strategy, and humour. Very well done show on the topic of small to medium business , appreciate the whole thing.

Great breakdown of good and bad deals

A lot of high quality info about how to think about evaluating business value in this show. Hosts are also quite funny. I am convinced someone from this group is a “friend of Bill’s.” You will know what that means if you’re one of us. Makes the humor that much better.
Sara Wall via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/22
I’ve learned a lot. They work well together, and it’s easy listening. Dive bars.

Dave Housley speaking on the value of the instituitional knowledge the business he bought has and the moat it creates for other buisness to start up.
Eddie J. Soto via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/22
While this review was not written by my neighbor Charlie (who I’ve met, who I can attest that is a real human being and a good person), I can attest that Bill, Mills and Thrills (Michael’s working nickname for 2023) will entertain and enlighten you to no end.
CFBernie51 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/22
Even for those not in a position to buy or sell a business there’s so much to learn from how these masters of business dissect ventures. I like how they do it in a light hearted enjoyable way.
Dave McGeady via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 10/28/22
Nice work
RetailRingoStar via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/21/22
Met Mills and Bill recently and eagerly looked up this podcast. It did not disappoint. Episodes start with deal terms and then the team the works through their thoughts, concerns, ways it could work and improve, ways it could fail, macro trends ie head or tail winds, competition, customers,...Read full review »

Rare opportunity to hear the hosts talk through real life examples of small/unsexy businesses for sale, and understand an investors, and sellers thought process.

For acquirers that are early in their journey, I would highly recommend you start with this podcast before going out to make your acquisition and for experienced acquirers I would highly recommend you use this podcast to sharpen your investment decisions.

Great for the ambitious student and experienced professional alike.

I’ve been listening to Acquisitions Anonymous since nearly the beginning and I highly recommend it. It’s entertaining to listen to, and it’s like getting free consulting from 3 experienced acquirers as they point out the pros and cons of small businesses listed for sale. If you’re in the market...Read full review »
