In this engaging episode of Buy and Build, Paul welcomes back Craig Brennan, a seasoned expert in buying and building multi-business groups.

Craig shares insights from his extensive journey, growing his companies through both organic growth and acquisitions across diverse sectors. With his origins in community sports coaching, Craig expanded into PPA educational services and eventually entered the nursery market, applying a systematic, acquisition-driven strategy to broaden his portfolio.

The discussion dives into Craig's approaches to deal flow, acquisition criteria, and the delicate balance of integration without micromanagement. He explains the critical role of delegating operational tasks to a trusted team, which allows him to focus on deal-making and high-level strategy. Craig also shares how he implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to align his team around a unified vision, enhance accountability, and prepare his businesses for sustainable growth.
