Casting
Every Jacksonville company eventually changes hands. The real work starts years earlier.
The exit. A show advisor.TV is casting a host for.
The premise
The decisions before, during and after a business sale.
Why Jacksonville needs this conversation.
This show documents the decisions owners face as they build value, choose a successor, negotiate a sale and decide what comes next. Most of it happens privately, years before anything is announced, and almost none of it is on the record.
The conversations
Six subjects to open with.
- 01Knowing when it is time
- 02Building value before the sale
- 03Selling to family, employees or outsiders
- 04The deal that almost collapsed
- 05Life after liquidity
- 06What owners wish they had done five years earlier
The roster
People who belong in the chair.
- Business owners considering a sale
- Founders who recently exited
- Second generation owners
- Strategic buyers
- Private equity operators
- Business brokers
- M&A attorneys
- CPAs and valuation professionals
Roles, not names. Guests are invited by the host, never sold.
The person who should host it
A respected former owner, transaction attorney, investment banker or experienced advisor who can speak across the transaction without turning the show into lead generation.
The pilot
Two episodes, produced end to end.
What we do
Studio, cameras, sound, direction, editing and publishing. We produce the episodes and put them in front of the people building Jacksonville.
What you do
You host. You invite the people you genuinely want to know and learn from, and you carry the conversation.
What happens next
We watch how the two episodes land. If the conversations are strong, we greenlight a six episode season. If they are not, we say so plainly.
The host
Who we are looking for.
Every host we work with clears the same bar, whatever the subject.
- Jacksonville based or deeply connected
- Respected operator
- Access to excellent guests
- Curious on camera
- Able to bring their network
- Editorial judgment
How hosting starts
Start with two episodes, not a commitment.
Step 1
Idea
You bring a vertical you already know and the people inside it.
Step 2
Two episode pilot
We produce two episodes end to end. You host.
Step 3
Greenlight
If the conversations work, the show moves forward.
Step 4
Six episode season
A season is scheduled and produced.
Nothing here promises a permanent show. A pilot earns a season, and a season earns the next one.
