Meet Sarah — Nick Anderson's SEO agent. Five digital employees, under $1,000/month, doing work that used to cost tens of thousands in agency fees. This week on the Value Factory Podcast.

Twenty five years of work at OneAccord, and the through line has never been the frameworks or the playbooks. It's been the people.

The owners who let us into the hard conversations. The partners who sent us referrals before we had earned them. The colleagues who built something real and let us be a small part of it.

So we're throwing a party.

On October 6, we're gathering at the Bellevue Club to celebrate the business partners who have helped us grow, and to launch our new book, Hidden Multiples.

We operate on truth, compassion, and service. But relationships have been in our DNA since day one. Relationships with you.

It would be our honor to have you there.

AI doesn't fix a broken go-to-market. It amplifies whatever is already there. Nick Anderson on the Value Factory Podcast, with M&A advisor John Martinka.

09/16/2026

Owners don't need to be talked into their own decisions.

You've run this thing for years. You know the numbers, you know the people, you know what it would mean to get this right. The urgency is already there.

What slows most processes down isn't hesitation. It's advisors who move the marker before anything real has happened. A stage gets counted as done because it feels done, and suddenly you're standing on a step you never actually took.

Better version: nothing advances until you've said it or shown it. Then the work ahead of you is just clearing what's in the way.

Selling your business with 60% cash at closing and 40% on an earnout? If the earnout is measured on EBITDA and you don't control the P&L anymore, that number isn't really yours. John Martinka explains on this week's Value Factory Podcast.

The Value We Create Together

For more than 25 years, the work has happened because of the people who show up for it. Leaders, clients, partners, friends.

On October 6, we celebrate them.

OneAccord Annual Celebration & Book Launch
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Bellevue Club, 11200 SE 6th St, Bellevue, WA

Cocktails, appetizers, time to reconnect, and a short program recognizing this year's partnership award recipients. We will also celebrate the official release of Hidden Multiples, the new book from Nick Anderson and Cole Capriotti on the qualities beneath the numbers that make one business worth more than another. Nick will share a few thoughts behind it.

Seating is limited. Let us know you are coming so we can plan the evening around the people in the room.

Michael Ellison isn't waiting to get disrupted. He's building the thing that could disrupt him first.

"I'm trying to set up a digital twin that is, you know, potentially a competitor... without disrupting the core business."

The hard part isn't the technology. It's doing it without freaking out the people running the business today.

"I am not about leveraging AI to lay off half the staff."

Michael Ellison built AI into a 100-person firm without cutting a single job, on purpose. His goal: make 100 people do what used to take 200.

That's a different question than "how many roles can AI replace." Worth sitting with.

Most owners sell a company exactly once.

Think about that. You've run this business for twenty years. You could do it in your sleep. And then you hit the one thing you've never done before, and it's the thing that decides what all of it was worth.

So what happens? You decide it's time. You call an investment banker. They take the company to market.

Nothing wrong with that. Bankers are good at what they do. They know buyers, they know where diligence gets uncomfortable, they know what a business like yours actually goes for. You want them there.

But here's the part that catches people. They sell what you give them. Whatever the business looks like the day you call is what buyers see.

Which means the work that changes the number happens before any of that. A year out. Sometimes two.

You've got that time right now. Later you won't.

Want to talk it through? Costs nothing.

Most firms are sitting on decades of knowledge locked inside PDF reports.

Michael Ellison, CEO of Corporate Insight, on what changes when you stop treating the PDF as the end product:

"The knowledge was locked in a PDF... I don't want the PDF to be the initial data architecture. I want it to be the end result of what's already in the system."
