Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/

In this hard-hitting Dropping Bombs episode, Ken Goodrich shows exactly how he went from an IRS wipeout with only a two-man crew to orchestrating multi-million-dollar exits. From the flashlight-with-Dad origin story and reading The E-Myth 33 times (and later co-authoring the trades edition with Michael Gerber) to teaming with the Wizard of Ads, Ken reveals why most owners crash before they cash out—and the 3-year plan he uses to sprint a business from busted to bankable.

Here’s the real playbook: join a best-practice group, quantify everything, and buy momentum—if the phone’s ringing, there’s value. Tell a story that sells so buyers line up. Steer clear of MCA debt (or renegotiate fast), remove bottlenecks, recruit killers, and spot nine-figure opportunities hiding in plain sight. If you’re serious about scaling—or selling—this is your wake-up call to document, differentiate, and sprint for 1,000 days.
