Travis Business Advisors Podcast | TBA Podcast
I’m Slava Davidenko, founder of Travis Business Advisors, ABBA, IBBA and TABB member, Accredited Business Intermediary, Chicago GSB MBA.
I have 35 years of leadership experience in investing, operations and high-stakes deals. I’m building an Austin advisory for small and medium sized businesses.
On this channel, I share insights for Austin business owners planning an exit and buyers, planning to buy business located in Austin - whether five years away from the deal or just three months.
If you own a car wash, dental or veterinary practice, private school or education center, self-storage, or senior care - selling isn’t simple. Valuation, structure, taxes, transition, real estate, growth story - every decision affects your outcome.
Most brokers oversimplify. I don’t.

I Built This Business From Nothing… How Do I Walk Away?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You spent years grinding, sacrificing, and pouring yourself into a business that became part of your identity. Now you’re thinking about selling, stepping back, or handing it off—and it feels a lot harder than anyone ever talks about. In this video, we break down the real emotional, financial, and practical questions behind leaving the business you built from scratch, and what a smart, intentional exit actually looks like for an owner in Austin (or any local market).
You’ll learn:
- Why exiting requires a different skill set than building
- How to think about timing instead of just “when I feel done”
- The role of valuation, clean financials, and documented operations in a successful sale
- How to separate your personal identity from the company so you can move on with clarity and confidence
If you’re an owner who’s wondering “What’s next for me?” but doesn’t know where to start, this is for you.
