Steve has been in the Digital Marketing landscape for 20 years. After a job separation, he decided to take care of his parents due to both of them having health issues. That requires flexibility so he decided to use his skills to do something entrepreneurial. He eventually started an eCommerce business and grew it from an idea to do over 7 figures in sales. Even though Covid crushed his business because he knows ‘how this works’ he is in the process of building it back from the ashes so he can eventually sell it. He is also consulting and advising small to medium size eCommerce, Saas, and online businesses in the M&A space. Due to the fact, he gets deeply involved in the deal process, this M&A experience has put a spotlight on the mistakes other businesses are making. These mistakes end up causing owners significant money when they go to exit.
