Episode 16
Tuesday, 3 March, 2026
If your business needs you for everything, it is not scaling. It is suffocating. In this episode of Everything They Don't Tell You, Josh sits down with Jacob Tilzer. Jacob is the Founder and Managing Partner of Accrual Equity Partners; An expert in the world of mergers and acquisitions who's lived the full arc: adversity early, discipline learned the hard way, and the operator-to-builder shift that separates a real company from a founder-dependent machine. If you're buying a business, selling a business, or scaling through acquisition, this conversation breaks down the mistake that wrecks most first-time buyers: obsessing over the deal and ignoring operations, systems, and integration. This conversation gets into the roots of building systems, empowering leaders, and installing guardrails so the business can grow with you holding the keys. What you'll learn: Why the deal is the easy part and integration is the real war The difference between a $1M company and a $10M company (and why your old playbook breaks) Why you cannot scale without empowering people and trusting the process What happens when your systems can't support growth How to think about integration before you ever sign __ Thank you to OneAccord for partnering with us on this episode.
