Summary

In this powerful episode of The Mike Litton Experience, Mike Litton sits down with Mitch McGinley, founder of Boutique Fitness Broker, to explore the personal journey and professional mastery behind helping business owners dramatically increase the value of their companies before selling.

Mitch opens up about losing his father at a young age, the influence of his older brother, his education at Emory University, and the leap that took him from Atlanta to San Diego. He shares how owning and selling a boutique fitness studio for 5X its original value changed his life—and why most business owners leave money on the table when they exit.

You’ll learn:

Why exit planning should start years before selling
How Mitch helps owners increase enterprise value, not just chase a price
The emotional and psychological side of entrepreneurship
Why boutique fitness attracts heart-centered leaders—and how to turn passion into profit
What business brokers often get wrong (and how Mitch does it differently)

If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or future seller—or simply love inspiring real-life stories—this episode is for you.
