Why Jacksonville
22,096
employer firms operate in Duval County.
Every one will eventually change hands, close or outlive its founder. That moment is decided years earlier, in private, and almost none of it is on the record.
The first two conversations
Two episodes to open with.
The company was ready. The owner was not.
A founder on preparing the business, the family and themselves for a sale.
What happens the morning after liquidity.
An exited owner on identity, family, investing and deciding what comes next.

What it costs
The pilot is on us. Mabbly funds the first two episodes. If it is greenlit, a season is $2,500 a month, paid by you or a sponsor.
How we hostHow this works
Two episodes first. The season is earned.
Step 1
Conversation
We talk about the show, the vertical and the people you want in the chair.
Step 2
Two episode pilot
We produce two episodes end to end. The pilot is on us.
Step 3
Greenlight
We decide together after episode two. If the guests you wanted said yes and the conversations were good, the show moves forward.
Step 4
Season
Twelve episodes, two a month, across six months.
Step 5
The season is sponsored
You pay $2,500 a month for the season, or a sponsor does instead. Never both.
Nothing here promises a permanent show. A pilot earns a season, and a season earns the next one.
The conversation compounds
One good conversation produces the next one.
- Owner conversation
- Trusted introduction
- Next guest
- Permanent archive
You lead the conversation. advisor.TV handles everything else.
- PrepareGuest research, subject preparation and the questions worth asking.
- RecordStudio, cameras, sound and direction in Ponte Vedra.
- PublishEditing, publishing and distribution, then the permanent archive.
1,000+
conversations recorded since 2014. 410 browsable today, the rest being restored from the vault.
- Produced in Chicago, and now in Jacksonville.
- Microsoft sponsored the Chicago era.
- Mabbly is the founding Jacksonville sponsor.
Nobody builds alone.
One show. One trusted voice. Two conversations to begin.
