Key Takeaways:
Marketing is the Foundation of Business Success – Without clear messaging and strategic marketing, businesses struggle to grow, scale, or exit successfully. It’s not about throwing money at ads—it’s about human-to-human connection.

Public Speaking as a Business Growth Tool – Whether you're selling or buying, putting yourself on the right stages (conferences, podcasts, networking events) can position you as an authority and attract opportunities.

Clarity Drives Deal Flow – Whether pitching investors or marketing a business for sale, clear communication about what you offer, who you serve, and your vision is key to getting the right people engaged.

The Power of Out-of-Category Marketing – Sometimes the best opportunities come from speaking to audiences adjacent to your industry—where you stand out and capture attention.

The Seven-Step Speaking Framework – Hirschmann lays out a structured way to craft a powerful talk, from grabbing attention to delivering a strong call to action.

Legacy and Liquidity in Acquisitions – As a buyer and consultant, Hirschmann helps business owners structure their companies to sell while preserving their brand’s legacy.

Networking is Key in M&A – Building relationships with CPAs, attorneys, and industry insiders can lead to acquisition opportunities that aren't publicly listed.

Content Lives Forever – A single speaking engagement or podcast appearance can be repurposed into multiple pieces of content, creating long-term value.
