first met today's guest at the Self-Funded Search Conference in Dallas in 2023.

Linh Van Deibel had flown all the way from London, a demonstration of how seriously she was taking this path of entrepreneurship through acquisition.

As you'll hear, her husband Leo later joined her, and Linh and Leo both are today's guests.

So buying a business as a couple is a key theme of the interview.

As is buying outside the US; Linh and Leo live in London. We hear how they structured their deal in a market where loans for business acquisition aren't as readily available as they are here in the US.

On top of that, neither Linh nor Leo are British, adding to the search challenges.

Finally we hear about Linh's parallel journey with IVF. You may not know much about that process, but suffice it to say that that journey can be long, fraught, hugely time consuming, and emotionally draining. Going through that while also trying to buy a business would be harrowing.

Hopefully Linh's story can be a resource to other women or couples considering IVF. Please pass it along if you know someone who should hear it.

OK, here are Linh & Leo Van Deibel, owners of Infrastructure Design Solutions.
