Episode 219: Darren Gleeman Returns to Bust More ESOP Myths

Bret Keisling is joined again by Darren Gleeman, MBO Ventures [www.mboventures.com], who busts more ESOP myths including why ESOPs are NOT more complicated than other transactions, and why properly structured ESOP will generate more cash and benefits -- not less -- to the seller than most other transactions forms, and his view that ESOP terminations are great when the workers get huge payoffs. They also discuss transaction structures, warrants, sustainability, and Elon Musk's proposed Twitter transaction and how the ESOP community can be its own worst enemy in making ESOPs more mainstream.
