We’ve had a few guests on the show who have sold their businesses, but this case study is the first time we’ve explored what it looks like to buy your business back post-exit. After building BestSelf Co. to $45 million in sales, Cathryn Lavery sold her company to private equity in 2022 for 7 figures. She remained involved in the company as a brand ambassador, but watched as they made big changes that did little to grow the business.Then last year, she was given the once in a lifetime opportunity to buy the business back for pennies on the dollar - a six figure sum - when the private equity firm decided to close down. Now with a second chance to rebuild more sustainably, Cathryn is applying what she learned from her first go-around and taking notes on what the private equity firm did well and where they fell short to fix the mistakes she’s inherited.Was it worth it? Here’s the full scoop.View the transcript for this episode at: https://otter.ai/u/7q9URJWpWve5ZPDkpQJML7VBe-E?utm_source=copy_urlThank you to our sponsor!Uplevel your healthy habits with Soursop's Cell + Immunity gummies and shakes!

Today’s case study is a lesson in using customer feedback to evolve your brand. Despite uniquely positioning themselves as frameless prints for 15 years, Fracture recently made a surprising move.When Meredith English, who led teams at well-known consumer brands like Crocs and Daily Harvest, became the new CEO of Fracture, she recognized the customer demand for a framed option of their signature frameless glass photo prints, and took a calculated risk to roll out this product add-on.Introducing this add-on to their checkout resulted in a 20% increase in their average order value, improved their customer acquisition costs, and finally converted fence-sitters who had been sitting for ages on their email list into paying customers.Here’s exactly how Fracture made this decision and launched this add-on, and when it's smart to adapt your business to grow alongside your customers’ evolving preferences.View the transcript for this episode at: https://otter.ai/u/RpoGvP9Pdn_GV-_ZhZ38y3pWehA?utm_source=copy_urlThank you to our sponsor!Uplevel your healthy habits with Soursop's Cell + Immunity gummies and shakes!

Imagine if 4-day work weeks didn’t only occur when a holiday weekend rolls around. Beyond more free time, do shorter work weeks also create financial gain?Today’s case study explores that question with Erin Diehl, founder of B2B professional development company, Improve It and best-selling author of “I see You! A Leader’s Guide to Energize Your Team Through Radical Empathy.”After a life altering concussion last year, Erin knew she needed to prioritize her physical and mental health, which prompted her to research the logistics of working only 4 days per week. In October 2023, her company piloted this new structure for all internal staff for 90 days, creating benchmarks to help them determine if this trial had been a success.Now nearly a year later, they’re still going strong with 4 day work weeks and have hit their end of quarter revenue goals for three straight quarters, seeing as large as a 77% growth in a single quarter.Here’s the process Erin and her team used to successfully implement this.View the transcript for this episode at: https://otter.ai/u/z8Q-Ug-rJFly8kzcK5BKLxb-1Ag?utm_source=copy_urlThank you to our sponsor!Try the #1 all-in-one E-commerce platform: Shopify!
