There's a lot of advice out there about building a business, but much of it feels theoretical or disconnected from the messy reality of day-to-day operations. Business School with Sharran Srivatsaa exists in that gap between theory and execution. Hosted by Sharran Srivatsaa, an entrepreneur and investor who has personally built and exited five companies across different sectors, this podcast is built on a foundation of direct, tactical experience. As the President and Managing Partner at Acquisition.com, Sharran now works closely with other business owners, giving him a unique, ground-level view of the common challenges and opportunities facing founders and operators today. Each episode focuses on stripping away the fluff and noise to discuss the specific strategies, mental frameworks, and practical steps that drive real growth. You'll hear conversations that tackle everything from marketing and management to investing and operational efficiency, all aimed at providing clarity and intentionality for the journey. This isn't about generic inspiration; it's for the underdogs and builders who are focused on measurable results. The insights shared in this podcast come from the front lines, offering a perspective that is both broad from his multi-industry exits and deeply personal from his current work guiding other companies. If you're looking for actionable guidance from someone who has repeatedly navigated the path from startup to successful exit, you'll find a valuable resource here.
