Baby Boomers Are Retiring at 10,000 Per Day. Here's the Angle Nobody's Taking
Baby boomers are retiring at a rate of nearly 10,000 per day, and over the next decade, an estimated $15 trillion in business equity will change hands. Most people are focused on buying “boring businesses” during this massive wealth transfer — but what if the bigger opportunity is somewhere else entirely?
In this episode of Own The Exit, Caleb and Aaron break down the hidden opportunity behind the silver tsunami: becoming the trusted bridge between exiting business owners and private investment opportunities. They unpack why buying businesses is becoming increasingly competitive, how private fund management works, and why entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the next phase of wealth creation.
