A 300-Year-Old Industry About to Be Turned Upside Down

300 years. That’s how long an industry has operated the same way—until now. Imagine a world where selling a business doesn’t involve middlemen, commissions, or hidden fees. A world where buyers have to put skin in the game before they can even reach a seller.

Our guest today is on a mission to disrupt the business-for-sale market in a way no one else has dared to. From serving in the military to getting a black belt in Hapkido, from managing a full house remodel to bootstrapping his own startup, he’s done it all. But here’s the kicker—he’s still in the trenches, fighting through obstacles and uncertainty.

Most podcasts highlight entrepreneurs who’ve already "made it." But today, we’re diving into the raw, unfiltered reality of the journey—before the big success story is written.

Join me as I sit down with Evan Poling, the founder of BizRetire.com, to talk about disrupting a 300-year-old industry, the struggles of bootstrapping, and why we need to normalise failure in entrepreneurship.
