SMB / ETA peer groups

I build peer groups for SMB owners.

SMB/ETA means Small & Medium Business Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition — buying someone else's company and growing it. I help people do that, and I host no-pitch meetups all over North America. These days, from a modern camper van.

The premise

Most of what gets written about small business is theory, written by people who haven't operated. I write the other version.

A few fun facts

I own and operate SMB Community (2023–present), helping owners trade ideas, resources, and wins.

Before that, 18 months building Audience Automator — helping creators grow and monetize.

GM, deal-maker, documentary producer — I've started a lot of businesses, with mixed results.

SMB/ETA Meetups

I host casual SMB/ETA meetups all around North America — small, no-agenda gatherings for owners and operators.

No sales pitches, no professional networkers. Just real operators sharing what works. Wherever the van lands next, come say hi.
