'Twas the night before Christmas, a Boardroom or house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The live traps were set by the chimney with care,
It’s showtime, Paul G, let’s get on the air;
Jamie Clement chimed in with Milo his cat,
The Boardroom opens up for a hot mic chat;
Listeners sent in questions and summoned the bookies;
Will Patrick give mad props to Milk Bottle Cookies?
Knowing when to sell can be tricky,
Will prices inflate or find themselves sticky?
Seismic re-ratings in the public market,
Could trigger owners to roll up the carpet.
The Top 3 players may outgrow the ninety-seven,
Aggressive offers could force concession;
Great questions come out on this inflationary climate,
Let’s light wads of cash like a government pirate,
Milo’s master purrs on about management teams,
While business fundamentals affect valuation extremes;
In-house or outsource your business capabilities?
2020’s Buzz word deserves its nobilities.
The clips proclaim ideas implemented,
It tops off a year that was unprecedented.
"Now, Todd! now, Daniel! now, Shane! now, Andy!
On, Ben! on, Stewart! on, Liz and Jesse!
Will multiples differ between resi- and commercial?
35 episodes so far, and some were controversial.
Future returns will depend on the vaccine,
We all cheer for the pest cash machine.
St. Paul G gives in to a geography question,
Patrick wants to know also via his confession—
As it gets closer to sell, what should be done?
Chuck Norris returns for another pun run.
Better asked, should it be what not to do?
Impairing your value, pre-Buzz, who knew?
Signing off for the year, The Buzz gets sentimental,
Big shout-out to Dylan for all things instrumental;
The Listeners, the guests, and guest co-hosts surround,
We do this for you. May your businesses compound!
We’ll return next year, there’s more to address,
Happy New Year! Happy Festivus! Everyone, God Bless!
The Boardroom Buzz: Grow, Sell, or Exit
Boardroom Buzz is the straight-talk playbook for owners who built their service businesses from the crawlspace up and want to master the next move—whether that’s doubling down on growth or preparing for a life-changing exit.
Hosted by Jason & Jeremy Julio—“The Blue-Collar Twins” who turned a service-truck start-up into a multimillion-dollar success—and mentored by veteran deal-maker Paul Giannamore, the show turns boardroom finance into stories you’d swap over a tailgate. Expect 40-minute deep-dives that unwrap one real transaction and one valuation lever you can pull today, plus quick “Market Pulse” riffs that flag shifts every operator should watch.
If you’re a majority or significant-minority owner eyeing the $5 M–$100 M revenue range, tune in for gritty war stories, step-by-step tactics, and the confidence to choose your own endgame. New episodes every Thursday. Presented by POTOMAC M&A.
