In this episode of Legendary Exits, Micah welcomes Nick Bradley — private equity expert, exit advisor, and author of Exit for Millions: The Private Equity Blueprint. With years of experience leading multi-billion-dollar acquisitions and helping founders navigate their own exits, Nick brings a candid, insider look at what it truly means to scale, sell, and succeed in the world of private equity. In this conversation, Nick reveals how founders can shift from building companies to building valuable assets — ones that attract top-tier buyers and command premium valuations. He shares his five-pillar “Scale to Sale” framework, explaining why clarity of the end game is the first step to an extraordinary exit. From demystifying private equity to exposing common misconceptions about selling your business, Nick’s insights empower entrepreneurs to level the playing field and play to win. Key themes include how to position your business as a platform rather than a bolt-on, why terms often matter more than price, and how a founder’s identity sets the ceiling for growth. Nick also dives into what truly makes an exit “legendary” — one defined not only by wealth, but by freedom, purpose, and long-term impact.
