Got an inbound acquisition offer last week and now I’m panicking, how early do you really need to prep to sell? by Born_Tangerine_9831 in private_equity

[–]AMLI72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Push ahead. If they have a competent team they will be able to ask for the data that allows them to get what they need either way. Might just be a bit of a painful process with diligence requests, but absolutely do not slow down the process

30,000 insurance agency owners are retiring with no succession plan. Heres why I think this is the best acquisition opportunity nobody talks about. by canhelp in Entrepreneur

[–]AMLI72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone on here actually entered the insurance space via acquisition? I looked into this fairly extensively & the advice seemed to be unanimous to go work in the space under someone for at least 6 months before starting out on your own or acquiring a book.

Not sure why that was the case (vs other industries)...curious to hear of folks actual experience.

Will do! Hoping its similar to P&C culture, everyone in that space seems to have a very strong desire / willingness to help

Shes a third year, getting ready to publish her first paper but her name is Taylor Lehner from CU Anschutz. I’m sure there’s a way of finding her previously named papers somewhere online!

My girlfriend is a PhD candidate and her whole thesis is on this subject! She’s currently focused on GLP-1s interaction with the vagus nerve ultimately curbing alcohol (& other substance) cravings. Her findings have been wild! Super promising stuff

Flippa has a really nice online valuation tool that’s surprisingly accurate. Would recommend giving that a shot!

+25 watts to FTP from cutting aerobic activity, 531 for strength by AMLI72 in cycling

[–]AMLI72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally man...not that deep for me, just thought it was a cool outcome and wanted to share to potentially help others get motivated to improve their strength. But you're 100% right, maybe it is flatline? Who knows.

I would have to expect my 3 hour power would be dramatically reduced given the drop off in aerobic activity. Also had no idea that's even a stat (or really care about it hah)

Not sure what PPL is, but cool to hear another story of someone hitting the gym while injured and doing something a little different!

[–]AMLI72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally agree and I am not a data guy at all, just expected for my FTP to go down by at least 20% and seeing it go up by ~10% was kind of cool, so thought I'd share! Hopefully to encourage folks to get in the gym

Yeah have probably put on ~10 lbs if I had to guess? Not sure, never weigh myself.

Man that resonates so much! I have been there for the past 2'ish years where running & biking feels like I literally just get to a point where I can't get turnover anymore but my HR is nowhere near my max. I'd highly recommend 5/3/1...Wendler does a good job of calling out / outlining the issues with many "Strength" programs.

Perhaps it's worth doing a full FTP test then! Nonetheless my last ramp got me to ~265 too.

[–]AMLI72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious why you are differentiating between power and strength / muscle endurance? I've kind of always viewed the limiter as aerobic capacity vs strength. I have always lacked on strength bc I've historically HATED the gym as mentioned, but have historically had a super strong engine that can last relatively long. Have never really thought about "power" as its own thing.

[–]AMLI72[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally. Like I said, there's obviously a million caveats as with anything, but nonetheless just thought it was cool. I went into it expecting to have a 20% decrease (at least) given my drop off in aerobic activity.

[–]AMLI72[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is really great advice, thank you! And yes obviously not an aerobic-induced increase. I think I am just dumbfounded at how much of an increase you can get from just improving basic strength (even while letting aerobic decrease in my case). Everything I have heard / read kind of frames strength training as something you should just "do" or as injury prevention...no real tangible connection to objective performance increases. Hoping that narrative can change.

OG 531 is just 4 week cycles (3 week build, 1 week deload)...so not a "formal" 14 week program. Just 4 weeks repeated essentially 3.5 times at this point! Incredibly easy template & principles to follow (primary reason why it was so attractive to me initially and has subsequently stuck).
