David C Barnett Small Business and Deal Making M&A SMBShow Notes
Is buying a franchise still a smart move in 2026?
New Premiere Interview guest – Giuseppe Grammatico
I’m happy to have Giuseppe back for another conversation.
Giuseppe is known as The Franchise Guide and helps aspiring entrepreneurs find franchise opportunities that match their goals, finances, and lifestyle.
Tune in as we discuss what's changing in the franchise market in 2026, how AI and private equity are reshaping franchising, and why more owners are expanding into multiple locations and brands.
We’ll also talk about semi-absentee ownership, franchise financing, the importance of due diligence, and the biggest misconceptions about passive income in franchising.
This is a ‘must see event’ for anyone interested in buying a franchise, expanding a business, or exploring entrepreneurship through franchising.
Be sure to join the premiere.

Do you know what your business is actually worth to a buyer, or just what it’s worth to you? On this episode of the Vital Wealth Strategies Podcast, host Patrick Lonergan welcomes back David C. Barnett, one of the show’s very first guests, to unpack one of the most important questions every entrepreneur eventually faces: “What is my business worth?” David is a business consultant, author, and equipment appraiser who has sold 36 businesses as a broker, spent years as a banker, and has advised on more than a thousand deals. In his new book, Business and Asset Values, he explains why business valuation is never a single number but a conclusion tied to a decision, and why owners, buyers, lenders, and advisors can all arrive at different, defensible answers for the same company.
