Overview:
In this first installment of a two-part conversation, host Nic Padilla sits down with Tom Shipley, entrepreneur, investor, and founder of the CEO M&A Summit, to explore the mindset and mechanics behind building multi-million-dollar businesses through mergers and acquisitions. Tom shares how his early life lessons in resourcefulness and resilience, from his time in the military to scaling his first online business, shaped his unique approach to entrepreneurship.
Listeners will gain insight into how acquisitions can accelerate business growth, why “no money” isn’t a roadblock to buying a company, and how to find leverage in today’s fast-changing business environment. Tom also discusses his mission to help entrepreneurs reduce risk, compress time, and expand their impact through structured M&A strategies. The conversation reveals not just the business tactics behind his success but also the human side of leadership: his commitment to family, balance, and the importance of proximity to like-minded visionaries.
