What does it take to build a business you love — and then sell it without losing its soul? In this episode, Mitch McGinley shares his expert perspective on scaling, valuing, and exiting a business with both profit and purpose in mind.

A former yoga studio owner turned sales advisor, Mitch understands firsthand the emotional and financial complexities of stepping away from a company you've built from the ground up. Through his firm, Boutique Fitness Broker, he helps studio owners structure, position, and successfully sell their businesses while protecting their legacy, community, and mission.

In this conversation, we explore:

· Why exceptional customer service matters even in the business broker world

· The most common mistakes boutique fitness owners make when exiting

· Misconceptions about brokers, valuation, and the sales process

· How to preserve culture and community during a transition

From pricing strategy and EBITDA calculations to finding the right buyer and navigating due diligence, Mitch brings clarity to what can otherwise feel overwhelming. His approach is strategic, transparent, and deeply personal — designed to help founders exit confidently and thrive in their next chapter.
