Bob Greene: I think that with the entire craze, and I call it the craze, the AI craze, man. It's a craze. The emphasis needs to be in performance AI because you can't do phenomenal generative AI without performance data. He says his son just took a job as basically being a performance guy at a machine vision company. All right. So educational, so helpful, Bob. Thank you so much.
There comes a time in every analyst's career where they consider starting up their own consultancy. Or, if not that, then at least joining an agency or a consultancy. The nature of most businesses is to grow, and with growth comes the potential for an "exit." This episode dives into that world in an attempt to demystify some of the ins and outs of the acquisition of analytics consultancies, from the owners' perspectives, employees' perspectives, and acquiring companies' perspectives. Since these are all perspectives that none of your dear co-hosts really have, Bob Morris, the co-founder and managing partner for Bravery Group, joined us for a discussion of EBITDA, TTM, CIMs, and even aspects of the space that are not captured by acronyms!
