Joe Heieck went from Navy intelligence to Harvard Business School to buying and scaling a software business—then stepped up to chairman and co-founded Heiton Partners to buy companies and place CEOs. We cover finding mentors, working with brokers as partners, what 'quality of revenue' really means, a simple seven-check diligence rhythm, and how to lead through the messy middle of scaling. Practical, candid ETA lessons—minus the fluff.
