Most business owners don’t realize they’re building an exit they can’t afford.&nbsp;In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Marc Adams, Strategy Mentor & Business Exit Planner at Acquisitions4You, who shares how his work has helped provide&nbsp;$22B in funding support&nbsp;and why he now focuses on helping founders&nbsp;double business value in 12 months or less. After a stage-four cancer diagnosis during the pandemic and a life-changing conversation with his son, Marc pivoted his mission toward helping the “nine out of ten” owners who never get the outcome they need. He explains the&nbsp;Double and Keep It&nbsp;framework, designed to grow value fast while protecting owners from the usual traps of dilution, debt burdens, and painful exit costs.&nbsp;Key Takeaways:→ Most business owners don’t get the value they expect when it’s time to sell.→ Exit-math can be brutal, especially in states with high taxes. → Traditional private equity doesn’t solve the real problem. → The “double and keep it” framework aims to achieve value growth without dilution or debt service. &nbsp;→ This framework is meant to create a real retirement-grade exit. &nbsp;Marc Adams is a strategy mentor and business-exit planner who helps founder-led companies double enterprise value in 12–24 months and structure tax-efficient exits without heavy dilution or personal guarantees. He’s helped take a company from roughly $140M to a $1B valuation and led a loss-making $18M-revenue business to a $140M exit. A bestselling author with Times Square features, Marc works closely with family offices and private capital, providing founders with a practical, buyer-aligned playbook for value creation, clean diligence, and better after-tax outcomes.&nbsp;Connect With Marc:Website: <a href="https://acquisitions4you.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://acquisitions4you.com/</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/1marcadams/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/1marcadams/</a>&nbsp;
