	Description:		LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if you could turn your business into a $10M exit in just 24–36 months? In this raw, no-BS Dropping Bombs episode, I sit down with Lance Bachmann, the blue-collar dealmaker who’s run the same play six times: partner with great operators, scale fast, then sell to real private equity—and do it again. He’s already stacked six eight-figure exits (with more on deck) and his mission is clear: deliver life-changing checks, not empty promises. Lance drops the traps most owners miss—“search funds” posing as PE, debt-loading deals, and why you should skip earn-outs unless the upfront is real—and the operating discipline that makes buyers line up: daily KPIs by 6:02 AM across every company, and the mindset shift that your roofing (or any trade) business is first a sales & marketing machine. He also shows how conferences and masterminds multiply valuation through relationships you can’t buy. If you’re chasing a $5M–$10M outcome instead of a lifetime “maybe,” this is your wake-up call.
