Most business owners think they know what their company is worth.

They don't.

 

In this episode, Galen sits down with Dave Bookbinder—business valuation expert, author, and corporate finance executive—to break down what drives value… and why most owners are looking at the wrong metrics.

 

Highlights:

·      Why valuation is about the future—not the past

·      The shift from tangible assets to intangible value

·      Why your people are your biggest asset (but rarely counted)

·      The concept of "Return on Individuals"

·      How toxic employees can destroy value faster than you think

·      Where AI helps—and where it completely falls short

·      Why execution risk matters more than your projections
