Flipping the Business Brokerage Industry, with Clint Fiore

What if the "seller-first" mentality that has shaped business brokerage for decades is actually holding the industry back? What if the biggest opportunity for growth comes from putting buyers, not sellers, at the center of your strategy? In this episode, we challenge one of the industry's biggest assumptions and explore how building trust with buyers, creating a high-quality pipeline, and delivering a better buying experience can transform the way you grow your brokerage. Chasing more listings and simply working harder is no longer enough. Sustainable growth comes from creating a marketplace where qualified buyers seek you out and sellers value your reputation for getting deals done the right way. Jason Cutter sits down with Clint Fiore, CEO of Dealonomy, to discuss his journey from a frustrated business buyer to an award-winning sell-side broker and now to founder of a platform designed to reshape the industry. Clint shares why so many brokers become trapped by unrealistic sellers, how a buyer-first approach creates better outcomes for everyone involved, and the lead generation strategies that are working in today's market. Along the way, they discuss identifying red flags early, setting realistic expectations with sellers, knowing when to walk away from the wrong listings, and why transparency, authenticity, and long-term thinking are becoming the competitive advantages that separate great brokers from everyone else. If you're ready to rethink the traditional brokerage model and build a business that attracts both better buyers and better sellers, this episode is for you.

Why Business Owners Need Brokers, with Joshua Carnes

What if staying loyal to every deal and client is actually holding you back from real growth? Are you investing enough in your own education and network—or still hoping that a bigger pipeline will just appear? Sometimes, the urge to never give up on a transaction or client feels noble, but it can quietly drain energy and limit your trajectory. The brokers who stand out aren’t just tenacious; they know when to let go and move on. Real growth comes from building long-term referral networks, investing in self-education, and putting strategy over sheer hustle. This episode features Joshua Carnes, owner of Lion Business Advisors and host of the Texas Business Broker Podcast, in a candid conversation with Jason Cutter. They dig into what’s really changing for business brokerage in Texas and beyond: the value of industry education, why more advisors are needed, the crucial difference between hunting and farming deals, and powerful lessons learned the hard way—like when to walk away from time-sucking transactions. Josh also shares actionable growth strategies drawn from his marketing background and explains why improving your online presence isn’t just smart, it’s essential.

Bonus Episode, with Patrick Lange

What will separate successful business brokers from the rest of the industry over the next five years? How can brokers use technology and AI to create a better client experience? As business brokerage continues to evolve, the firms that thrive will be those that combine expertise with exceptional client service. Technology and AI can help brokers become more efficient, but responsiveness, communication, and trust remain the foundation of successful transactions. Growth ultimately requires more than individual effort; it requires building systems, empowering a team, and creating an organization capable of delivering value consistently, even as the business scales. In this After Show conversation, Jason sits down with Patrick Lange of Business Modification Group to discuss the future of business brokerage, the growing expectations of buyers and sellers, and the importance of creating an exceptional client experience. Patrick shares his thoughts on communication, technology adoption, delegation, and the challenges of transitioning from being the primary producer to building a scalable business.
