I partner with founders and families to buy and build enduring businesses.

I buy businesses
With my private investment platform Eidolon Capital, I acquire companies with $10M–$100M in revenue and $3M–$10M in EBITDA. I focus on family- and founder-owned businesses in the Southeast – industry agnostic, with an emphasis on services, manufacturing, distribution, and power-grid-related businesses. I make control investments and hold for the long term; I don’t invest in startups or take minority positions.
Science of Success
I founded the world’s leading podcast on Evidence Based Growth, which has hit #1 New & Noteworthy, topped iTunes “What’s Hot” and is consistently ranked a Top 10 Social Sciences Podcast. We now have more than 5 million downloads and listeners in over 100 countries.
The Bodnar Letter
The Bodnar Letter — my newsletter on what actually makes acquisitions work, and why they fail. Drawn from deals I’ve lived through, written for owners, operators, and the advisors around them. Patterns and judgment, not tactics-of-the-week.
