You're listening to the My Wife Quitter Job Podcast, the place where I bring on successful bootstrap business owners and delve deeply into the strategies they use to grow their businesses.

Now today I have my friend Chris Guthrie back on the show, and a lot has changed since I had Chris back during episode 53.

Now for one thing he's bought and sold a bunch of businesses in the past four years

so today we are going to pick his brain on his process on how he selects businesses to buy.

But before we begin, I want to thank Clavio for sponsoring this episode.

Clavio helps brands build relationships across any distance, delivering email marketing moments your customers will appreciate, remember, and share in good times and bad.

And since it's all driven by real-time e-commerce data, you can make sure every interaction feels more personal.

Now when you have a 360 degree view of the customer,

the growth possibilities are endless. So visit Clavio.com slash my wife to schedule a demo.

Once again, that's KLA v Iyo.

I also want to give a shout out to privy who's also a sponsor the show.

Privy is a tool that I use to build my email list

for both my blog and my online store.

Now what does Privy do? Well, Privy is an email list growth platform and they manage all my

email capture forms and I use Privy hand in hand with my email marketing

provider. Now there are a bunch of companies out there that manage your email capture forms, but I like

Privy because they specialize in e-commerce.

And right now I'm using Privy to display a cool Wheel of Fortune pop-up.

Basically a user gives their email for a chance to win valuable prizes in our store.

And customers love the gamification aspect of this and when it implemented this form,

email sign-ups increase by 131%.
