Peter Lang, accomplished entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist, has cracked the code on agency growth through strategic acquisitions, a skill he believes most agency owners are uniquely positioned to master but rarely tap into. As a former agency CEO who executed eight acquisitions before his successful exit in 2022, he offers listeners a refreshingly practical perspective on breaking through growth ceilings with M&A strategies.

In this episode, Peter shares how mentorship has shaped his path, what it takes to prepare for a business exit or transition, and the strategies he’s used to scale companies through mergers and acquisitions. From building high-performance teams to navigating complex deals, Peter delivers insight for entrepreneurs looking to grow intentionally and sustainably.

Episode Highlights:

• This episode highlights the role mentorship has played throughout Peter’s career, from tactical advice to aspirational guidance from legendary thinkers.
• Peter gives insights to why agency owners are uniquely suited for mergers and acquisitions, and how M&A can unlock growth far beyond organic scaling.
