From Survival to Scale: The Power of Acquiring to Grow

What if the fastest way to grow your business is not by working harder, but by thinking differently?

In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, I sit down with Tom Shipley, a serial entrepreneur and M&A strategist who has built, acquired, and scaled multiple companies to extraordinary success. We explore how smart, strategic acquisitions can help entrepreneurs move from surviving to scaling. You will hear real stories of turning cash flow crises into opportunities for expansion, and how creativity and courage often matter more than resources.

This conversation is a reminder that every obstacle has a solution if you are willing to see your challenges differently. Growth is not just about building something new. It is about recognizing what already works and using it to create something even greater.
